City Souks I and II

Zora (formerly of Zora's Personal Seamstress) and Bahira (Bahira's Beautiful Bedlah) set up a tent (twice!) in Santa Clara on June 21 and July 19 featuring their handmade craft items and gently used custom belly dance costumes. Their "City Souk" at 167 Cronin Drive in Santa Clara was highly successful and more of the sale items will be offered at The Pink City  in Mountain View starting August 1, 2008.  Here are some photos of the past two City Souks:

I am extremely happy with my purchases! I'm sure you will be too."

Rakset Wadi al Shems at the San Jose Women's Club Ballroom

  

Bahira served as DJ for Zora's Troupe: Rakset Wadi al Shems at the San Jose Women's Club Ballroom on  April 1, 2008.

   

        

Rakset Wadi al Shems performed a traditional set of dances in the lovely historic ballroom of the San Jose Women's Club in Downtown San Jose.

      

  

The one hour dinner show was catered by Pomegranate Cafe and Zora taught a few basic dance steps to the audience.    encouraging them to get up and dance with the Troupe.

     

A good time was had by all!
