To everyone who helped make the Third Annual Rocky Mountain Tribal Soiree such a huge success, THANK YOU!!! To the dancers, thank you for being so lovely to work with and bringing a fantastic mix of styles to the stage. I am in awe at the creativity that abounds in our community. To our amazing volunteers, thank you so much for your hard work - we truly could not have done it without you. You rocked!! To the vendors, thank you for sharing your beautiful wares. Everyone seemed to find a new treasure to take home with them. To our photographer and videographers, thank you for capturing the event in fine style. To Kara Nomadica, thank you for sharing your music as well as running sound during the performances. To those who attended the show to support the dancers, thank you for being a fabulous audience. Opa!! And, of course, to my co-hostess Jennifer, thank you for asking me to be a part of organizing this event. It was a lot of work (as advertised *grin*) but definitely worth it. I had a wonderful time! When do we start planning for next year?! ;)

Apologies if I've forgotten anyone - my brain is still recovering! :)

Thanks again,
Kari

P.S. If you have feedback on this year's Soiree or suggestions for next year, please email Jennifer (instructor@tribenawaar.com) and me. We would love to hear your comments.

    Kari and Jennifer,
    THANK YOU for hosting such a fun event! We had such a great time seeing people again and meeting new ones too. Belly dance networking is hard when you are so far away (as we are in Steamboat, especially in the winter!) so it was really nice to be a part of the Tribal Soiree this year. We will be back for sure!
    Thanks again for all of you dedication and hard work in making it happen, and pulling it off with style and grace! See you soon, be in touch!
    Molly (Jasmir)

      Yeah to Jennifer, Kari and everyone at the Soiree. It was so much fun dancing and watching all the other dancers. I really enjoyed the performances and of course, our wonderful sound guys and friendly musicians Kara Nomadica. You guys were great to dance to, as always, and you ran the music fantastically too. I really had a blast from start to finish. Thanks so much for making this event so much fun and so welcoming to all the dancers in the area. Can't wait til next year!

Way to go everyone!!

    Thank you so much for putting on such a great show! It was my first real performance in the belly dance community and I was so excited to be there. My entire family was there and loved the diversity in the performances and the energy of all the crowd participation. Can't wait until next year!!

    Yet again a fun event!
    I look forward to being there next year (if you'll have us).
    All of the performances were great!
    Thank you all who stayed and danced with us after the performances. It is truly the greatest compliment to musicians to see bodies moving to the music created. We would be just another garage band without you...

    Lawrence and Kara Nomadica

    PS--May hafla a my house on the 17th!

    Yes! Awesome, we had a great time. Thanks for giving us a stage to try something a little different!

    I really enjoyed the dancing, it's fun to see the different takes on improvisation. And the band rocked!
