Fusion Fest Thanks

topic posted Sun, March 30, 2008 - 8:38 PM by  Layla
Just wanted to thank everyone that came to Fusion Fest this year. We couldn't have done it without each and everyone that attended. Thank you for helping me bring Amy Sigil here and Brandy Bollin and supporting the local teachers that taught. I meant to have a suggestion box but was to busy to execute that. We are planning on doing a bigger show for next year so more people can dance. So if you have any other suggestions fill free to PM me.

    Thank you for a wonderful workshop/weekend!!

    I SOOOO loved the hoop class with Jivette - it totally rocked my world. LOL, my hands are so beat-up it looks like I've been fighting.
    Amy was a total sweetie (just wanted to pack her up and take her home for a few days). She put the cardio back in my workout.

    This year was better than the last ... can't wait to see what Fusion Fest III brings.

      Your class was so much fun, I've never really played with a circular veil....& suspect that I might be addicted now..... Thank you!!!

      PS - LOVED that feathered bra....you & 'The Dolls' were GORGEOUS!

        So ... who was invited to perform? I know Siham was there, Pavlov's Hips, Troupe Duende, the instructors of course. Who else was on the program?

      Sigh. Sure wish I'd been at the show. Or at our D&D game. Anywhere but at home taking care of a feverish, vomiting child all night. At least I got away for a couple of workshops while Robin took sick kid duty.

      At least she's feeling much better today and smiling. Back at school even. Yay!

    OMG....never seen UNMATA before...they rocked. But I have to say how proud I was of you and all the local dancers, the skill & energy levels, choreo & fabulous costumes (& makeup - did we all take Bellatrix's class or something?!). A big zagareet for everyone!

    Thanks again for all your hard work!!!

      Next year I think we'll do a Friday night Hafla as well so everyone has a chance to dance. I don't like to tell people they can't dance since I think it is such an important experience. The whole weekend was a blast and I loved all the teachers. I'm already pinning Jivete down to teach a Poi class for next year.

            I actually had my doctor ask me if everything was ok at home after a series of poi classes! She wanted me to know she was there if I needed someone to talk to. Which is sweet, and I don't think she was convinced with my explanation of how I got the black eye. And the shoulder bruise. And the destroyed contact lens. That last one took some work.
