Hey there!
I'm so excited that Dhol Rhythms is going to perform at the following event--I'm going to ask to dance before your set so I can fully enjoy watching you guys. ;-)

Madad: A Benefit for the Red Cross
$10 suggested donation (but we'll take more, of course)

Madad, a Hindi word for "relief" and "aid," seemed like a perfect
title for this benefit. Lenay of n.o.madic tribal (a New Orleans
tribal belly dance troupe) and Clandestine have organized an evening
of belly dance, bhangra, and go-go performances to help raise money
for the Red Cross. All door proceeds go to the Red Cross (thanks DNA
Lounge!), so not only will you see a kickass show with some of the
finest local dance talent, you will also get some good karma.
We are also collecting costume donations for displaced New Orleans
belly dancers, so feel free to bring any costuming, jewelry, etc.
you'd like to donate and give it to the door person.
Vicki of Dhol Rhythms will give a free bhangra dance lesson right
before the intermission so you can shake your groove thing to the DJs
and try out your new moves!

Dance performances starting at 8 pm by:

Azure
Clandestine
The Devil-Ettes
Dhol Rhythms
FatChanceBellyDance
Frederique (Belly Groove)
n.o.madic
Tempest
Saiidi
Ultra Gypsy

    Hey ladies,
    You put on an absolutely fabulous show last night. Thank you so much for donating your time, energy, and talent for our event--we raised $2561 for the Red Cross!
    I can't count how many people came up to me and said how much they loved you guys. You rocked the house! And I loved dancing along during the lesson. ;-)
    Hugs,
    Beth

      You ladies were amazing. I don't think I have ever seen a dance troupe with as much energy to do amazing moves with huge smiles and make it look easy. Vicki, trying to follow you ladies during the intermission with your moves was SO FUN! I was sweating after only 4 minutes.....how do all of you do it with so much grace? I am so inspired! I want to come take classes from you.

      Thank you to all of the DholRhythms dancers who volunteered their time and talent for this show. I have to second Beth on the number of people that commented on how amazing you ladies were. Thanks so much!
