[Donita Len Schubert]

Greetings to All Ansteorra!

A call out to all Middle Eastern Dancers and Musicians!  The Third Annual 
Middle Eastern Dance Championship of Ansteorra will be held at Elfsea 
Defender! 


Dancers:  Two categories will be allowed; solo title performance and 
non-competition performance.  Both categories will be judged and comment 
sheets written.  All performances will be held to five minutes.  No 
prerecorded music will be allowed for the title competition, however 
recorded music will be allowed for the non-competition performances.  If 
you are bringing a form of recorded music, please contact me BEFORE the 
event to make sure we have a method to play your music.  Documentation, 
costume, dance, performance, music interpretation and audience reaction 
will all be taken into consideration, bring your best.  The competition 
will be held in the evening Saturday, and a mandatory meeting will be held 
Saturday late afternoon.  All competitors MUST be at this meeting to be 
considered for the title competition.  If you have further questions, 
please e-mail me privately.

Musicians:  PLEASE!!!  Ansteorra needs you to provide the glorious music 
for our beautiful dancers!  If you would like to play for the competition, 
you are very welcome!   Please send me a quick e-mail so that I can 
prepare a space for you.  We need a wide variety of rhythm, melodic, reed, 
wind and string instruments.  The space will be ready for you to set up 
late afternoon during the dancer meeting.  Part of the competition is the 
dancers interaction and interpretation of your music, come be a part of 
the excitement!

To all patrons of Middle Eastern dance in Ansteorra:  The largess given to 
the winner of the dance competition is legendary throughout the kingdom! I 
am seeking beautiful items, fabric, jewelry,  books, music, ect  to 
present to our new champion, I humbly ask for your assistance.  Please 
e-mail me with items for donation.  Rugs, pillows, lighting, snacks for 
the musicians and dancers and a 'quiet pre-performance' tent are all still 
needed. 

To the good gentles who possess the super big red and white tent that was 
used last year:
Could you please contact me?  Thank you!
