Will be signing off in a couple of hours, as right now I am packing and finalizing the details before leaving on another (big big) road trip with miss Q!
This time dance travel will lead us to CANADA, for Aziza's fabulous Dreamcamp with Lena Helt of Sweden :)
Miss Lena Helt in action <3
After we return we will bring you new updates about DREAMBOOTCAMP in Belgium July 1-7th 2013, the biggest event we've ever hosted till now, and we are *very* excited to share all the details with you!
The current mood of Queenie and Khalida, aka barely holding the excitement
2013 will be a very special year for both miss Queenie of Belgium and I, as it will be the year where we will both have been belly dancing for ten years!
With Johanna and Nephélé <3
We are looking forward very much to January 2013, as we will be celebrating this special anniversary together with many of our dear dance colleagues, students and friends in the form of WBW - aka Wicked Bellydance Weekend, a workshop weekend and Gala show on January 5 and 6, 2013 in cooperation with the lovely hosts Johanna Rediers and Nephélé of Belgium. We hope you can all join us to celebrate the anniversary of the love for our art!!
Posting a few piccies and music information of the lovely workshops hosted by miss Luna Llena in Belgium this Monday (under a sky of falling stars! <3 Did you catch any this weekend?)
Khalida and Luna, and lots of silk <3
The topics requested and taught were 'Hit that accent!' And so we did!! Respect :) And 'Double veil- double trouble' featuring some classic double veil
techniques and turns and a sweepingly romantic choreo with *drahmahtic
movements* to the beautiful song Wael Kfoury's 'Omry Kellou'.
Thank you very much again to all of the participants! You rocked it in
the evening hours :) I was very impressed with the level and dedication
and had a lovely time teaching in Diepenbeek, BE <3
The song itself can be found and bought as a single track on iTunes and eMusic as 'omri kellou'
The big rectangle veils in the video were hand made (based on a picture of my cossie!) by Soies Minifée of Canada <3
And my very first teacher, miss Myriam of the Netherlands,
who taught me the love of dancing with double veil and isis wings, will
be a guest instructor in Würselen next year! Watch this space and our
newsletter for more information soon!
To the participants: Should there be any questions please don't hesitate to email/message me, you can find my contact details over at www.khalida.biz!
I will be out of the country for a good eleven days (leaving tomorrow for Aziza's DREAMCAMP with Lena Helt of Sweden in Canada together with QK partner in crime: miss Queenie, whee!) after that normal online activity and email replies will resume ;)
To
the students that ordered things: The tops and DVDs that were bought
during the workshops are making their way to you as we speak!
Together with miss Katleen D'Herdt of Belgium we will be organizing the very first QooKay Productions event in Aalst, BE this October 21st 2012!
There will be 2 exclusive workshops by Queenie (Rhythm combinations) and myself (Arms and Hands technique and combinations) plus a hafla with open stage (still a few spots available!) in the evening. We hope to see you all there!
Last Thursday was already the fourth and final day of the 'Summer Love Specials' Workshop series at our studio in Würselen. Time does fly! :)
Summer Love Specials 2012!
It was a wonderful experience for me as well as for the participants to get to know these wonderful guest teachers a bit better, I loved every workshop to bits, each bringing their own unique flavor to the event, and with that some hot summer dancing to the studio!
Once again a huge thank you to all of the guest teachers, and to all participants, without you it would not be possible! Hopefully see you all again next year!

"So... EPIC update! After all the emotions (of all sorts, LOL) we shared while
organizing two amazing BOOTCAMPs together, my wonderful colleague and
dear friend Khalida
and I decided to take it one step further by officially uniting our
powers.... And so we proudly present.... QooKay Productions! Bringing
you belly dance events at their best... SOON!"
In short, Queenie Dance and I have decided we will be officially working together in the future under the umbrella of 'QooKay Productions' bringing you belly dance events at their best, near and far :) We hope to welcome you at one or more of the upcoming dates!
I had the honor and pleasure to host the fabulous Ozma of Japan for a workshop on 9/8, roma and zills at our studio this Wednesday, check out the piccies here. Thank you again lovely ladies for joining us, and thank you miss Ozma for the lovely workshop!
