Jewel of Yorkshire (The JoY Festival)
I cannot believe I am sharing the headline here with none other than Raqia Hassan of Egypt! Wow! Plus, it’s all taking place in the U.K. which is always a joy for me to visit. Kajira will be accompanied by Lu Sha and MeganDeath of BSBD. Also joining us there will be my friend, Heike (Akasha). I can’t wait to see my English friends again! Please don’t hesitate to attend my classes here, as JoY is the only place in the U.K. I will be teaching this trip. www.jewelofyorkshire.co.uk

Back to Vienna, AUSTRIA!
It looks like I will be there with Moria Chappell of The Bellydance Superstars, with one of us on one weekend and the other on the other, but things are still being ironed out. It’s likely I will be accompanied by members of BSBD. I will be staying in Vienna for at least a week and shall hold both Level One and Level Two Teacher Certification Programs while there in addition to the weekend workshop. For the dates and details, email my friend, sister-in-dance and sponsor, Eva: eva.savonith@aon.at

I and my trusty assistants shall offer in-depth workshops. Vive Le (Sheep) Noir! Email Djeynee for info: tamam30@free.fr
And more bookings every day! ATS Please telephone me: 808.891.8891 to bring me to you, or email my husband, Chuck: mauimobilemusic@aol.com and as soon as I get back from wherever I am, I will get back to you. Please out “For Kajira” in the subject line so he doesn’t delete by mistake, thanks! I love to travel and share the joy of this dance form, Synchronized Group Improvisational ATS BellyDance, in my own unique Format. For ATS it is optimal to bring me and at least one other dancer from BlackSheep if at all possible.
I love delving into my other styles and specialties, too! Please email for a list of alternate class descriptions if interested in things other than the KD/BSBD Format for ATS BD and I’ll provide you with several ideas I have ready ranging from History and/or Stylistic Lectures and the Moroccan Guedra Blessing Ritual to Cymbals and Kashiklar (hand percussion) for any style of The Dance. I can also tailor my workshop specifically for your event!
Mahalo nui loa! (“Thank you very much!”)
see ya somewhere soon!
