Jewels of the Triangle was a success!




I am so happy that Jewels of the Triangle was such a success. It was so much work, but it was well worth it. We had over 150 attendees and we made $900 for the scholarship fund. We are still waiting to work out the details of the scholarship fund with ACCMED, but I will keep you posted on this.

All of the organizers, Sadiya, Shaiya, Milagros, Seher and Ana Mejlia, did such a great time with the flow and organization. The venue was fantastic and I am also so pleased at how well we work together! None of us can wait until the next event.

I was also very proud of all the PR work to get the show out in the world. We were in the New & Obeserver at least twice, the Chapel Hill News and the Indy Week. There were quite a few people who came who were not associated with belly dance at all...they just read about it in the paper. For all of you who organize events, never underestimate the power of calendar listing and media releases!
In addition, the dancers were wonderful. They really are our Jewels. There is so much talent and joy in this area...Thank you dancers!

Here are some pictures from the show. I am still looking for more pictures if you have any of the show. Please share them!
