Saturday June 6th, some lovely members of Karma joined me at the Arts Festival.   We danced 3 numbers, the first was a folkloric dance, Assaya (cane). Rebecca and Donna are dancing with me here.

Notice that we are wearing full length dresses that cover our bellies.  Most people don’t know that there are many styles of costuming in belly dance.  The dresses are called Beledi dresses, and there are 2 styles, one where the front allows a decorative bra to be seen (Rebecca and Donna are wearing that type), or it totally covers  you up, like the one I am wearing.

Then we were joined by  Sonia, Faith, and Leah for a pop number and a drum solo.

What a great weekend!!  Saturday morning June 6th, we took our pups to an event hosted by Russell Rescue (JRTRO) and the JRTCC (Sunday)

Siren ran the Agility course just for fun, and boy did she ever have fun!

 Here she is coming out of a tunnel…!!!

 On Sunday we ran the Lure course…..Oh My Gosh….they knew before we even got to the event that lure coursing was on the menu for the day…. my Turbie took quite a tumble on the last corner before the home stretch, so I don’t think he ended up with a good time….too bad…it was looking pretty good before that happened.
