Feedback from Cairo 2010

"What was your favorite thing about Cairo Caravan 2010?"

 

Everything! There's dancing, shopping, the drums outside, all in a unique and interesting venue. It's wonderful to see all the different dancers and groups perform all day, the variety and see what's new out in the world of belly dance; I liked that there were a few more groups doing traditional folk and did their own singing and music- that was great.  ~Christine Young
