I'm starting to prepare the 2nd edition of the Sidiqi Alraqs. If anyone fancies sending me something to publish.... Maybe a little review on an event you went to, advertise your classes and up and coming events (Aug - Oct). Is there anyone out there who could write about your life & events in your dance life? Any questions we can help with or advice for others? Remember, it's your magazine. I await your response! 💃❤️❤️💃

Website updated again.
FROM JAN PRICE
When I was 71, I got through to the finals of Britain's Got Talent and danced in front of hundreds of people (Piers Morgan, Amanda Holden & Simon Cowell). Piers buzzed me off right away and said, "Women of my age should not be dancing"! I spent a week in my dressing gown feeling dreadful. Then I had a message from DeeDee Wilde of Pans People. She said I must take no notice, that she was still dancing at 70. So, here I am, still doing it. I was a teacher of 2 classes until I had to have two replacement shoulders. I'm ok now and joined a class here in Aberdare.

This has been added to the website.
HERE'S A LITTLE SOMETHING FROM JAN PRICE HOPE YOU ENJOY

MARY JANE LATIMER WAS QUIET AND SHY. SHE LIVED A CALM PEACEFUL LIFE.
SHE SPENT HER VERY BORING DAYS BEING MOTHER, FRIEND AND WIFE.
ONE DAY SHE THOUGHT... I'LL CHANGE IT. SHE DIDN'T WANT HER LIFE TO PASS.
SO MARY JANE BECAME QUITE BOLD AND JOINED A BELLY DANCING CLASS.
AND SO SHE CHANGED IN EVERY WAY SHE BOUGHT SOME SKIRTS AND VEILS.
SHE EVEN BOUGHT LONG EARRINGS, WENT COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS.
SHE SHIMMIED AROUND THE SHOPS IN HER MASSIVE NECKLACES AND HER SPARKLY TOPS.
NOW MARY JANE SERVED MR LATIMER COUS COUS AND MINT TEA
AND TURKISH DELIGHT ON A SILVER PLATTER DOWN ON BENDED KNEE.
SHE TURNED THEIR BEDROOM INTO A BEDOUIN TENT. OH POOR MR LATIMER.
AND THEN ONE DAY SHE CHANGED HER NAME FROM MARY JANE TO FATIMA.
HE DIDN'T MIND HER DANCING AND HER CYMBALS HE COULD PARDON.
BUT HE DREW THE LINE AT THE GOATS AND SHEEP THAT COVERED ALL HIS GARDEN.
HER CHILDREN THOUGH SAID ...STOP THIS STUFF YOU ARE DRIVING US BERSERK
SO MARY JANE RAN OFF ONE DAY WITH A RATHER HANDSOME TURK!

Glad you are liking the magazine. It's been on my mind for ages! The idea is to get dancers in our area to contribute. I put some things on it by me to show how easy it is! It's for you to Advertise classes/haflas/events. Anything you have been to and what you thought. Any questions you may need answering. And I'm looking to post an about you section - where someone gives an insight into their dance life. This can be performer/teacher/souk seller/class member/Hafla organiser this way people are contributing to their magazine. Just need to jot it down and send it to me and I can add it to the mag. ..... I'm waiting!!!!
