It's on Saturday 16 February 2013 in Lancashire and the day features dance and music workshops, the NADA AGM, and a fabulous evening show with performances and a chance for everyone to boogie with the band. The event features dance teacher Claire Novis (from the JWAAD belly dance school) and Guy Schalom - the fabulous tabla player and band leader - will also be teaching and of course leading the band. Some of my all time favourite traditional Egyptian style musicians will be there including legendary accordion player Sheik Taha and the wonderful singer and oud player Abdel Salam Kheir. There will also be lots of lovely guest dancers, and oh yes, I'll be performing too!

Thanks to NADA's support, this event is amazing value for both NADA members and non-members alike. And if you're not taking part in the workshop, you can still come along to enjoy the show. Anyone who was at the NADA/Baladi Blues event I hosted in Edinburgh last year will know how great this group are. And if you haven't heard them yet, what are you waiting for?
The event is taking place at the Ellel Village Hall, Galgate, Lancaster, LA2 0LQ. The first workshop starts at 1:30pm and the evening show starts at 7:30pm (with doors from 7.00pm). Oh, and for dancers staying for the whole day, you can even book a special 'dancer's tea'!
For all the information, packages and bookings go to Desna Dances.
I hope to see you there, and for anyone coming along who also follows my blog please do come and say hello!
