mistymassey“Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?” Today in 1893 the fabulous Mae West was born.
And in Miss West's grand tradition of setting a room on fire, last night during Asali's Evening In The Orient II", Naima was halfway through her solo when the building's fire alarm began blaring!!! We all evacuated the theater (and you've never seen anything like a crowd of bellydancers rescuing their bedleh during a fire evac - ha!) Eventually, the hunky firemen arrived. They went in, checked things out, and cleared us to return. Asali had Naima dance once more, so that the DVD would be complete without fire alarm, then the rest of us finished the show.
Every year, my troupe, The Beledi Beat Dancers (scroll to the bottom of the page to see us), always has one event that is the Crazy. In the past, we had to dance with a huge pillar in the middle of our space, and another year, our stage started coming apart during the performance. But a fire alarm? This is the best one yet.
