Private Party:  Mediterranean Feast -  May 16, 2008

  

For the second year in a row, Bahira, together with Shiva and Fara'Asha of Indigenous were pleased to perform for a private party as part of an Auctioned Dinner/Entertainment Package to raise money for Washington Open Elementary school.  Two families and their guests were the recipients of the gourmet dinner for eight catered in their home.  Parent volunteers from the student body provided fantasy patio and table decorations, top notch service and an incredible array of scrumptious Mediterranean dishes as well as post party clean-up for the lucky winners. 

  

The patio was transformed into a sumptuous dining tent

Also included in the auctioned package was dancing entertainment provided by Indigenous.  Bahira introduced the Dancers and performed in a 20 minute set of dances that included sword, veil and fan.

   

Here are a few photos of the performance.

  

  

The Resident Host had this to say about the evening:  "...We had a blast watching the very-talented belly dancers, and then enjoyed laughing at ourselves as we tried to join in the dance. .. "
