Hi,
Is there any date yet for 2008 festival?
My daughter and granddaughter are avid bellydancers in Gauteng, and would like to attend.
I would like to make the organisers aware of the fact that we have a team of very young South African bellydancers who this year got South African colours as the best overall performing group: section Folk Dancing, at the yearly championships of Performing Arts earlier this year in Rustenberg. They missed the world championships, as there was not enough time to get sponsorships to get them to San Fransisco. (I am the proud gran of one of these youngsters)
Regards
Christelle Buys
