Something closer to the east coast would be great since i'm in the Caribbean, but i'll look into anything you guys suggest.
I don't really do any Tribal so i'd prefer that it not be a tribal workshop, otherwise i just want to learn - particularly the folk dances like Raqs Beledi & Raqs Assaya, but also anything else in any of the major styles or even zills.
Thanks!!

Dear Mya,
You might be better off to take intensive classes from people than do workshops, where you actually might learn less than you would in privates, most of the time. If you are looking to meet other dancers and network, then a workshop is a great place to do that. there is also the opportunity to do both, and that would be even better! Decide what your objectives are and then plan ahead. Once you decide what you want to concentrate on and when you will be in a certain area, there are many people on the forum who can give you advice about who is good in what area.
If you were coming out west, I could send you my class/workshop schedule, but since you are going to be East, it probably would not do you too much good!
