[Northkeep] thanks and info

[zubeydah at northkeep.org]

I would like to express my thanks to those who joined us for the Absolute 
Beginner's Introduction to Middle Eastern Dance at practice last night at 
McClure park. There was joyful dance from 6:30 to 8:30, and a great time was 
had. I would like to give especial thanks to the two gentlemen who braved the 
teasing of others to explore this dance style. I appreciate their courage and 
curiosity. We were blessed to be joined by several folks simply visiting the 
park, many of whom enthusiastically said they'd be coming back for next week's 
class. 

Thanks also to Sir Balvin who was a good sport, and to Kearl, who provided some 
impromptu drumming.

If you missed the class and are interested in participating in the future, I 
made plenty of class hand-outs. For those who contacted me off list this week 
to express interest, I will be emailing you the class notes directly. There 
will be plenty available next week, and we'll be reviewing everything discussed 
last night, so don't worry about being too far behind, if you're joining us for 
the first time next week!

Peace be unto you.

In service to the North where the Black Star shines the brightest,

Zubeydah Jamilla al-Badawiyya

Post-Post Script:  I have linked a small amount of photos from Castellan posted 
as active links within the body of my event review. (On the Events page of my 
website: zubeydah.northkeep.org ) I should be getting all the pictures posted 
to my photo.northkeep site by the end of this week, hopefully.
