Reports From The International Bellydance Conference of Canada<\/h2>\n

by Gilded Serpent Staff
\nposted April, 2010<\/span><\/h3>\n

At last we are beginning to bring our readers our promised reports! Check this page frequently for additional video coverage of the International Bellydance Conference of Canada<\/span>. <\/p>\n

This is the third conference produced by Yasmina Ramzy<\/a><\/span>. The first conference was held in 2007 and then in 2008. This year’s conference was complicated by the volcanic eruption in Iceland. The ash clouds grounded flights all over Northern Europe. Attempts were made to rerouted flights through other than Northern European cities to allow international instructors to teach as planned. In the end, Mahmoud Reda<\/a>, Khairiyya<\/a><\/span> and Shema<\/a><\/span> were not able to attend. Conference organziers attempted to set up alternative means for scholars to participate virtually through the internet remotely from their home locations. This too was unsuccessful. Shema was able to send a video and notes by way of online file transfer prior to the event but not to actually be active in the panel discussion she was to participate in. <\/p>\n

Even though the two top stars were not able to attend the conference it was remarkable how quickly the organizers, instructors, scholars and attendees quickly adjusted to the changes. Cassandra<\/span> was able to help fill in on very short notice and other teachers added classes to their own schedules. The mood and moral was upbeat and no complaints were heard by this observer. Networking and sharing of ideas continued. <\/p>\n

This page was set up to allow posting quickly of video reports. The reports may be posted a bit out of order as we await materials from writers and photographers.<\/p>\n

As always please let us know if you find errors or omissions.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Thanks,
\nLynette<\/span> (editor)<\/p>\n
