Belly Revelations has hosted TEN Shimmy Souths in Raleigh, NC, beginning with Aneena in 2000 and ending with Fahtiem and Aneena in 2009. It was delightful sponsoring Aneena, Kajira, Amaya, Dalia Carella, Aziza, Saqra, Dondi, Aisha Ali, and Fahtiem. Our first workshop had 25 participants, and our record was 114; one year we attracted dancers from 6 states -- what a great run.
We've also hosted several ncbellydance.org anniversary workshops and shows, including Donna & Asim, Artemis Mourat, Zhaleh Fereshteh, Daveed, and loads of local talent.
When we started we were the only show in town, but look at the Triangle now! There's something happening nearly every weekend. So Shimmy South 10 was our last production -- now it's someone else's turn to enjoy the spotlight!

Shimmy South 8
March, 2007
Raleigh, North Carolina
It was a perfectly delightful weekend with Dondi and all of us local & regional folks. The student hafla amazed us with the quality and diversity of dance, the Saturday evening performance likewise. We are most grateful to Dondi and to all of you for coming to dance with us and to be an audience for the performances. Dondi has also sent her thanks for being invited to such a warm, accepting community of strong women.
Dondi's workshop and performance clarified the differences between Egyptian Pop and Classical Egyptian.
