News and Announcements
This page lists auditions, jobs,
requests for assistance,
and other similar types of announcements.
I'll also post references to belly dancing in the media.
Postings here tend to be of a
temporary nature.
Newer items are listed at the top.
To get something listed, please contact me.
General Dance News
These are general dance items, not specifically belly dance.
This first set is info I get from CID,
the international dance organization:
Following are other
general dance items:
Note: most of the above are info I get via unsolicited emails,
so standard caveats.

Instructors beware
There is a con going on targeting dance teachers.
Using any of a number of names,
the con artist
sends you emails arranging
for private dance lessons (usually for their daughter)
which they want to pay for all at once in advance.
They
send you a check for significantly more than you requested,
then their check turns out to be bad, but presumably you already
sent them (or their confederate) a refund for the overage.

Another notice I received via email; standard caveats:
Hello,
I was hoping you could help me out by passing this email along
to customers/students that might be looking to have a working holiday
thank you very much !
My wife and myself are originally from Toronto but now live on an island
called Utila 30 km off the north coast of Honduras in Central America,
this is on the Carribean side
and we require a experienced belly dancer for
our restaurant called The Indian Wok (we serve all asian and indian food).
This would be a working holiday as your duties would leave you lots of
free time to suba dive (one
of the chepest places in the world to get your certifcation)
kayak, snorkle and party your face off.
The island is part of the backpackers trail here in Central America and
has a great night life of 20 to 30 year olds so ideally you would be
in this age range and be very fit,
you also would be required to pay your own way here, bring your own
costumes and music(on some type of mp3 player).
We will give you 300 Limperas and a great meal per night.
The exchange rate is 18.89 limperas=$1 USD, the pay might not seem
like a lot but you can get a room for as little as $5 per night
and get breakfast and lunch for $6 to $10 per day(for both).
The wheather is fantastic here at this time of
year as this is our summer hence almost no rain and sunny skies
95% of the time and the atmosphere is super laided back bohemium Carribean.
The locals are super nice and
friendly and the water is warm and clear so diving or snorkling is fantastic.
The island is very safe and we will help with all of your travel
and accomdation information as we
have knowledge of all things Utila.
If this sounds like a unreally fantastic working holiday your right it is
but be carefull as a lot of people who come here for a couple of
weeks turn into a couple of years, just like my wife and myself!!!!!
If you have any question or would like to apply please send picture
and resume to the email below or if
you would like to speak to me directly reply to the number also below.
