Hello, For many years I have had my focus on things other than the forum. Things that have taken more time and energy than I have... but that's life sometimes. My presence on the forum faded out. But when hosting would be close to expiration I would reach out to mods/members to get a sense on...

Was saddened to hear of Ava Fleming's passing. She was a lovely dancer with a genuine presence.

Hey all, I am thinking of eliminating some forum categories (like belly dance vending on ebay...) What would you like to see added or dropped?

Yes, he did share the message. I will change the mod settings :) Thank you!

Hi Zorba (and everybody), Arun has been so great over the years. He encouraged me to bring it back and I went for it. Best Salome

Hello! The forum has been on a three year hosting plan that is now over. The bill is actually a few days past due. In my user panel it said expires September 2023 so I thought I had some time but I don't. If you show up and it's not available it is related to that. I'm waffling...

This is good input. It is a community, even if it has become an itty bitty community hahahaha! So I definitely want to know your wishes. I am not in any hurry. I do know that site building for SEO is not always synonymous as site building for the user. I asked to see some examples of what they...

Hi out there ☺️ Someone has approached me about buying the forum. I would remain as the admin and moderators too if they wished. The rules, topics etc. Would not be changed. At least that is what they said. This is not someone involved in Near and Middle Eastern dances but more of an...

Not necessarily too late. If you have the resources and time to really train and have access to instruction... Not just a weekly hour and a half class. Plus have some natural ability... it is possible to accelerate. Performing takes practice too. Doing hobbyist venues to practice at performing...

Sheltering at home and staying that way except for essential needs. Grateful to be healthy and OK but also going a little crazy some days, lol.

Here is a link of my friend Claudia. I included the text that she posted along with her video. It is on facebook. I know everyone doesn't like or have a facebook account. But that is where it is uploaded. Claudia Shimmies "Here is an edited video of my performance in the At Home Hafla last...

Anyone interested: please post lessons you, or someone else, are giving online. Can be free or paid/donation class. There are more people doing this than usual with the shelter at home situation. Would be fun/useful to have a little directory of these for now, right? Aziza Online Class Hey...

Has anyone "tuned in" to one of these? There is one coming up this Saturday with a friend in it, so I am going to try and remember to be at my computer at noon. Below is the dope for anyone else interested (no affiliation/nothing gained): This Saturday 4/25, Asheq Collective is excited to host...

Hi, Welcome to the forum, enjoy!

This might have been the smoothest host move ever. The forum and orientaldancer.net are resolved to the new host. Only ibellydance.net is still propogating. So very little down time. It feels to good to be true.

Most likely because it was in process of moving to the new host.

I updated Nameservers so expect some down time as it propogates

After some fiddling this morning on my end I got the following message: "Hi, It seems to be good now, we will update you once migration has completed. Migration may take 12-24 hours." Yeehaw!
