calmer now
After pillaging and having lunch yesterday with Anysia I feel much calmer now. I am still saddened by the behaviour of supposedly grown women in the bellydance community.

Finally reached your journal through mutual 'friend' Anysia. I hve *no* idea who is acting diva over there, but it sounds very similar to an experience I had over here. I know exactly what you mean about the silence.

In fact I was grateful of the excuse to 'leave' that particular crowd, as they have a somewhat bad reputation - and I discovered so many other communities who have welcomed me so kindly.
Anyhow, mind if I add you? It's great to hear about the goings on in this lovely dance on your side of the world!

Thank you for your encouraging message. Anysia and I have moved on quite a way from that now. I am afraid I "saw red" that day. We are still teaching and performing in spite of and because of all that went on before. We have both grown alot in our journey and are on the way to creating our own group of wonderful supportive women. We have also found that there are other communities who have welcomed and included us.
I am flattered and pleased that you want to add me to your list. I will be interested to hear about dance happenings on your side of the world too. Unfortunately our story is quite a common one. I hope that by sticking around we can give a positive example to others who go through this type of thing. Thanks for your input. :)
