http://www.bellydanceodyssey.com This year's event features Heather Stants and the Urban Tribal Dance Company. We'll start the weekend off with a kick-off party (Urban Tribal Lounge) at Club Caution (co-hosted by Crystal Silmi) which will include informal performances and spinning by DJ Vashti (that's me!). Heather will teach three amazing workshops over the course of the weekend. On Saturday night, we'll test out our new incredible venue for the evening show: the Henry Mello Center. In addition to Urban Tribal Dance Company, the lineup includes: Baktiari, Bellydance Odyssey Raks, Crystal, DaVid, Luna, namira, Nanna, Modern Gypsy, Rashid, Sabiba, Sandra The Hala Dance Company, Tribal Moon and Yasmine. This year's show, inspired by Heather's work, will have an interpretive thread. More info at
