With Ziola now in her last month of pregnancy, she has decided to take a break from dancing until after the baby is born (due December 1st!). While we miss her dancing with us, we are extremely excited about this beautiful new life and are glad she is taking good care of herself and her precious child.
Our classes are continuing at Upstart Crow Studios and we are having a great time with them! The beginning class will start learning to play zills this session, and our intermediate students are having fun leading movements themselves. Come join us for some fusion-style inspiration and creativity!
We are very excited about two shows this month, very different from each other, but both are going to be a blast! On the 14th we’ll be at Cozmic Pizza with local bands Fearless Love and Gypsy Moon. Fearless Love plays beautiful spiritual-based music and is led by singer/songwriter Eostar Kamala. They play a mix of devotional music ranging from kirtan to upbeat dance music to Celtic and other traditional genres. Gypsy Moon is the amazing group led by Deva Priyo, a master of the Spanish guitar. Their Afro-Mediterranean sound is led by his intricate flamenco/gypsy melodies which have mesmerized audiences from Hawaii to Australia, Italy to Spain, and now here in the Pacific Northwest! We are really looking forward to this show and encourage fans of flamenco/gypsy sounds to check out this wonderful music.
On the 15th we’ll be performing with our favorite dance DJ - DJ Layla! This show is a benefit for Grrrlz Rock! which is an awesome concert series put on by Cindy Ingram celebrating women in music and art. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten to jam to DJ Layla’s fantastic beats, and if you like world electronica, this is not a show to miss! Later in the eveing DJ Moonvoid will be joined by local hula hoopers, and the party will go on till close at Davis’ Restaurant in downtown Eugene.
Looking to December, we will be back with Gypsy Jug Grass on the first Friday, the 5th. More details are coming soon about this, but mark your calendars!
For more info about all these shows and classes, please see the events page. With it getting dark earlier in the day now, we hope you’ll come enjoy some fun shows and we’ll see you soon!
