Nov. Strawberry Classic Car Show  and TIN CAN GYPZEE"S- Wellll...TCG did another great and fu filled evwening of Gypzee and ATS entertainment under the tent in Plant City.  I cannot  say often enough how much we enjoy  this event. This time around we happily recruited from one of our audiences ( we do multiple shows) an" Honorary Sultan" ( pictured above and what a good sport...).

 Nov 9th workshop w/ Lilith( Gyspy Caravan Certified Instructor) was            G-R-E-A-T!! Lots of Bay Area dancers turned out to  support the effort and to those  we extend our happiness and our thanks. As  we all know it is  often a  case of mutual  support among local dancers to keep these "affordable workshops"  offered. This weekend was no exception and it was nice to see so many familiar faces enjoying Lilith's  instruction. If you didn't manage  to enjoy this workshop then you  missed a diamond in the rough...not to fear though,  it will be repeated. Lilith taught ATS moves as well as  good foundational technique to be applied to all styles of our dance. Wonderfully creative combinations and theory on  how to come to own a move and make it reflect your dance. Lilith does not just teach steps and movement, she teaches the importance of being "in the moment with your audience" and little tricks of the trade to  get there. This dancer had a  good afternoon and came away with some solid instruction, ideas and combinations.  Well worth  giving up the couch and  hours of football on a  Sunday afternoon.

(Better late than never)...Broadway Tin Can Gypzee's danced at the  Historical Polk Theater.  "We" were the only  dancers representing  'American Gypsy Belly Dance. " The performance was limited to   a mere 2 1/2 minutes, so we shortened the routine down by  almost two minutes. It went very well and I am  so proud of  my  GYPZEE's.  Oh yes and we went ghost hunting while we were there...we have orbs...The spirits are  active and  housed  at the  Polk Theater...and some are, shall I say, mischievious.
