Announcing a day of medieval activities and belly dancing in Pensacola Florida, July 4th and 5th at the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds. the Society for Creative Anacromism is hosting Arabian Nights and this year the theme is the melding of cultures after the Mongolian invasion of the middle east in the 13th century. We have a full day of belly dance classes for Saturday and live drummer haflas on both Friday and Saturday nights. Here is the line up:
Atira of Atira Arts Studios in Gulf Shores Alabama will be teaching a choreography class and a sword dance class and possibly an Egyptian/ Polynesian fusion class depending on interest.
Kira of Savannah, Ga will be teaching Tang Dynasty Classical Chinese Long Sleeve Court dance movements, Mongolian Ceremonial Tea cup dance and Chinese dance folk movements, and Friday night, How to incorporate Chinese dance movements into your ME dance vocabulary.
and Finally!!!!
PETITE JAMILLA of BDSS will be teaching two workshops. These two hour workshops will be Dance Fundamentals and Double Veil. Both of Petite Jamilla's workshops are two hours long and are being offered at the low low cost of $20 per workshop!
We havn't seen this kind of line up around this part of the gulf coast in a long time!

Fee's are $29 at the door for adults for the whole weekend, children under 12 are $16, under 5 free.
For Saturday only $25 for adults $14 for children under 12.
This fee includes a five course medieval feast with belly dance performances in the evening as well as activities galore! Dancing is not all there is, we have medieval style fighting, fencing and archery. A full contingent of classes on arts and crafts and many merchants to peruse!
Bring the family, we have children's activities which are fun and educational.
And don't forget the late night of drumming and dancing, all in the air conditioning!
This event is unlike any dance weekend you have ever seen before! And way better than a renaissance faire because you aren't watching the activities you are participating in them!
If you or you're troupe would like to perform, or you would like to merchant please contact us soon, space is running out.
