I've been belly dancing and teaching since the late '70's. I've travelled to Rakkasah West a couple of times, one of Amaya's Shake and Bake's Acapulco one year, travel and teach dance semniars throughout the mid-west, danced at RenFests for about 16 years, design and make costumes... Let me know how I can be of any help.

    I've just obtained Amaya's Gypsy Fire. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a very good documentary, with some dancing instructions. She's a very passionate and confident dancer. I like the fact that she too is a dancer of colour.

    I have heard a lot of great things about the Shake and Bake. Tell me more!


    How can we help you, more, in the making of this documentary?

      I'll have to check into this!

      As far how everyone can help, I just need to hear your stories....and spread the word that this project is in the making.

      I'm working on trying to get a distribution deal. The initial plan was to have this film do the film festival rounds but now I'm thinking that DVD availability would be a MUST as well. Various legalities to consider/work out but that is what I'm working on at the moment....thinking down the road!! :)

        I have to say that I am "new" to the scene of being a dancer of color because I didn't get serious about this until 3 years ago (even being introduced to it at about the age of 3 or so). My mother would be a great person to get info from, so when the time comes Stephanie (which is also my mother's name... funny huh?) let me know and we can both give a 30 year perspective of cabaret vs. tribal in the North East and the South ... if you are interested!
