  Hope you’re having a terrific summer!
  Mine has been jam-packed with lots of fun stuff and new projects…   seriously, I feel so blessed to be able to have my job be something I love to do!

I’ve been working on follow-ups to The Belly Dance Handbook, and Showgirl Confidential, which wills both, be out sometime in the middle of 2015.  And there is talk of a new instructional DVD- keep your fingers crossed, you’re gonna love this one!

 This summer has been non-stop dancing and touring to teach and perform by myself as well as with Issam Houshan on our BaLAdi Tour. We’ve hit Eugene, Oregon, Wichita, Kansas and El Paso Texas, and we’ll be teaching an performing a lot together next year, nationally and internationally.

 Our new Baladi Tour CD just came out; the release party was off the hook! Some of the best dancers in LA performed, many of who are internationally known, like Rania, Aubre Hill and Stefanya (all former members of Belly Dance Superstars) DeVilla and Nathalie, Olu, Adrianne and Qabila Folkloric Dance Company, directed by Aubre.

  If you missed it, the party streamed live and will be up on the internet for the next two days at www.justin.tv/iqaat Get the CD here: http://www.princessfarhana.com/shop.htm


 In between workshops in Oklahoma, The Theatrical Belly Dance Conference in New York City and Cairo Shimmy Quake in LA, (both festivals were amazing!)  I shot a movie last month with director Steve Balderson; called “Hell Town”…it’s a horror movie about a faux soap opera, and very tacky-on-purpose.  I play a very naughty and murderous nurse in the film…and I got to have blonde hair!  I also got to watch myself get killed in the movie-   cause I died off-screen. That was an experience, I tell you!
