Free Classes with Donations for Food Bank a Success!

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

The free bellydance classes this week were a great success! A lot of familiar faces from the last session of classes showed up, and many new dancers came to try out class, too. 

Through everyone's donations, I have 6 re-usable shopping bags packed full of rice, beans, granola bars and more for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. I also have a Costco-sized pack of toilet paper to drop off!

Thanks to everyone who came to the classes and brought their donations and shimmied with us.

Join the Blackthorn Bellydance Facebook Group

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Join the Blackthorn Bellydance Facebook Group to ask questions, share dance links or videos, or chat with the other dancers. I'm interested to find out what kind of cool bellydance videos or music you've found, so please feel free to share info here. The group is also a great way to ask me questions and for everyone to be able to see the answers, so we can all learn from each other.

Hope to see you there!
