2009 Fall Gala Showcase<\/h1>\n

Featuring photos by Oscar Cwajbaum<\/a>
\nIntroduction by Davina\/Dawn Devine<\/a>

Each year, the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of MECDA hosts a gala show.\u00a0 For several years we were located in the lovely auditorium of Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto.\u00a0 We loved our old facility, but it is currently being used during a major remodeling project.\u00a0 We were fortunate to have a new photographer at our last gala show on November 14, 2009.\u00a0 It was Oscar\u2019s first belly dance event, and though I invited him purely to get photos of my own costuming work, he spent the entire day snapping shots from our show and has fallen in love with our art form.\u00a0\u00a0 Here are some of my favorite shots from that day.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
