a lovely evening spent

in a warm and friendly house

filled with friends and family and neighbors

of all ages

and

of all kinds

and 

it was important for us,

the americans,

to proudly represent our country

with our own

unique

belly dance act.

it was truly

a night to remember.

  7. Sounds amazing! My friends and I play cards or just talk, typically. I’ll ask if any play instruments or want to dance this weekend. Cheers!

  12. I love the idea of bringing people together for a fun night of music and dancing. One of my father’s friends gave him a VHS tape called “The Art of Bellydancing,” as a joke. Excuse me while I call a few friends to invite them over for a seisiun!
