We arrived downtown and it was a madhouse. Thank goodness I had someone with me because I get lost so easily. We arrived around 1:30ish and got signed in and set up in the lobby area in a little alcove before the ticket area. Andrew started drumming and I danced while people were waiting in line. It was nice to see people enjoying that. I could tell because people did not want to move up in the line because they were too busy watching. I saw lots of videos taken and photos, maybe I will find them on the internet cloud somewhere that people tell me about. Afterwards we made our way inside. What a setup! Gorgeous Bazaar! I could have spent a small fortune on costuming and decor. The booths for the countries were decorated nicely so I decided after my performance I had to come back and take my picture in some. We arrived at the Dance and Demo stage and saw a wonderful Mexican group dancing and teaching. They have really pretty costumes. (The ladies even stayed afterwards for my lesson.) I started with a short demo to the popular Turkish song, “Kalenin Bedenleri”. Then on to Ani Fi, but decided to get the crowd up early at that point and just start the lesson. There were alot of people and they looked eager and I didn’t want them to leave. Alot of people were dancing at first. It dwindled toward the end and we were left with only the die hard fans. But I think everyone had fun. Afterwards, I visited “Egypt, Portugal, and Lebanon for photo ops” My little bellydancer :)
