Hope you’re having a terrific summer!
I’ve been working on follow-ups
to The Belly Dance Handbook, and Showgirl Confidential, which wills both,
be out sometime in the middle of 2015.
And there is talk of a new instructional DVD- keep your fingers crossed,
you’re gonna love this one!
This summer has been non-stop dancing and
touring to teach and perform by myself as well as with Issam Houshan on our
BaLAdi Tour. We’ve hit Eugene, Oregon, Wichita, Kansas and El Paso Texas, and we’ll
be teaching an performing a lot together next year, nationally and
internationally. Like The Baladi Tour on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrincessAndIssam?ref=br_tf

Our new Baladi Tour CD just came out; the release
party was off the hook! Some of the best dancers in LA performed, many of who
are internationally known, like Rania, Aubre Hill and Stefanya (all former
members of Belly Dance Superstars) DeVilla and Nathalie, Olu, Adrianne and Qabila
Folkloric Dance Company, directed by Aubre.
If you missed it, the party streamed live and
will be up on the internet for the next two days at www.justin.tv/iqaat Get the CD here: http://www.princessfarhana.com/shop.htm
In between workshops in Oklahoma, The Theatrical
Belly Dance Conference in New York City and Cairo Shimmy Quake in LA, (both
festivals were amazing!) I shot a movie
last month with director Steve Balderson; called “Hell Town”…it’s a horror movie
about a faux soap opera, and very tacky-on-purpose. I play a very naughty and murderous nurse in
the film…and I got to have blonde hair!
I also got to watch myself get killed in the movie- cause I died off-screen. That was an
experience, I tell you!

As of
right now, I have space for two dancers in my
Star (Em)Power Professional
Development And Mentorship Program.
This
highly individualized course of study
will be fine-tuned to your individual needs and help you
make your dance goals and dreams turn into reality. It can
be accessed from all over the world,
we’ll work on your goals through live Skype lessons and discussions, video reviews, and a plan of action,
with homework assigned via email. Candidates are generally
advanced intermediate through professional level dancers.
