After the
Fact:
Our Thoughts About the World Dance Bazaar:
WOW! What a fun time! A varied grouping of dancers
form nearly every genre. I was pleasantly surprised to see
multiple different styles of tribal dance represented. A small
street party had the entire audience on their feet dancing together.
I'm happy to say that even my daughter went up and tore up the dance
floor, lol!
Would we do it again? YES! We
look forward to next year!

Beachcombers! will, again, have a booth where you can

After the Fact:
Our Thoughts About Lake Eola Art & Music Festival:
What a fantastic festival! This event is one of our
favorites. Even with the weather problems on Saturday morning
(we had a small monsoon if you weren't there, lol!), this year's
show was awesome! The music was even better than last year,
and there was a great turn out.
We had Nadia doing henna at our booth, which we didn't have last
year. Nadia has been doing henna since she was a little girl,
and she is great! We had a ton of clearance shoes and
customers were thrilled about that.
We were lucky enough to be located next to
Aura Pix again
this year. Those guys are incredible! Talk about good
vibes near by, lol! Really, if you haven't had your aura
photographed yet, you should.
Would we do it again? YES! We'll
see you next year!

A Tribal Garden
Florida
Tribal Dance 1st Annual Gala Show
Sunday November 4, 2007
7:00pm
The Cathedral of the Incarnation
1515 Edgewater Dr,
Orlando, FL 32804
 This is a DON'T MISS event!
Florida Tribal Dance is putting on their first annual tribal belly
dance show. This is not an impersonal show staged at a theater, but an intimate look into Florida Tribal Dance in the
beautiful Royal Hall at The Cathedral of the Incarnation.
Lacey has brought in some superb professional acts including a
tear-jerking Flamenco dancer, Tribal Dancers from Miami, and, of
course, Florida Tribal Dance's two professional troupes,
Black V and Blue Caravan. You will also get to see the
classes perform and join in for a special celebration of cake in
honor of Florida Tribal Dance's first year!
Beachcombers! is proud to support our local
tribal belly dance scene! Stop by our
table at the show to purchase glass bangles to wear during the show.
Remember, it is a gala so have some fun and dress up!
After the
Fact:
Our Thoughts About A Tribal Garden:
I can't begin to describe what a fantastic show this was!
Every dance had me enchanted, from the beginning level students (who
looked like Indian statues come alive) to the Professional dancers
from all over Florida, and Tammy (the Flamenco dancer) gave a heart
wrenching performance.
The audience demanded that Lacey, the star of the show and the heart
of Florida Tribal Dance, perform one last solo at the end of the
night (to Snake Charmer) and she graciously thanked all the other
dancers during her solo.
The costuming was unbelievable and many of the dancer sported
Beachcombers! glass bangles and henna! This was a show that
left you wanting more! Positively BRILLIANT!
Would we do it again? YES! Wouldn't miss
it for the world!

Our Thoughts About Enchanted Twilight III:

Athletes belly dancing. I've never seen anyone having so much
fun! The athletes had fantastic colorful costumes, but their
smiles outshown even the professional costumes. A variety of

Our Thoughts About Thornton Park Third Thursday:

with. The location is great, with a fabulous patio and
trendy studio where artist Mark Hadley displayed a great
selection of his art, Beachcombers! set up baskets of glass
bangles, and snacks with rum punch kept everyone happy.

After the Fact:
Our Thoughts About Lake Eola Art & Music Festival:
What an action packed, fun, and exciting two days! We
learned so much being face-to-face with our customers. Not
to mention the fabulous artwork on display by very talented
artists! My wish list of art that I saw is about 2 pages
long.
Farasha and the Florida Tribal Dancers were absolutely
fantastic. They made a such a big splash on the AcustiCon stage
that they were invited to perform TWICE on the large
amphitheater stage. They were that good!
The atmosphere was just as an art festival should be, fun and
low-key. People from every walk of life walked from
booth-to-booth while nibbling fair-food.
Would we do it again? YES, February 23 &
24, 2008!
