Zill Playing Lust Belly Dance Show at Kalia's August 22, 2010

On August 22, 2010 Hips For Hire hosts a very special Pearls of the East Belly dance show", A Mostly-Portland Pearls Show" at Kalia Indian Cuisine of Greenwood (Seattle, WA). This monthly belly dance  show begins seating at 6:30 pm, with the show starting at 7:00 pm. The cover fee is $7 (tips welcome), which goes to pay for the dancers.

In Hips for Hire tradition, I may be attaching a fundraiser (more information TBA). Guests are welcome to participate through donation or gathering more information about the specific fundraiser. We encourage guests to take a moment to use Twitter and Facebook to tell others about our events, even during the event itself (we won't think you're rude if your face is looking at a screen).

This month's show information:
Featuring: JEWELS  of Portland, OR (American Cabaret Bellydance)
with very special guest soloists and troupes
Kristnh (Turkish bellydance)
Najma and Znama Dance Company (belly dance fusion)

and your hostess and soloist, Imei (always a surprise)

Coming on the heels of Seattle Geek Week (see SeattleGeekWeek.com), I've invited geeks from my community to also attend our show! Please welcome these volunteers and enthusiasts, who also share a passion for technology, entertainment, food and wine, and "geeking" out! You may see guests from participating Seattle Geek Week attendees such as ChicMeetsGeek, pii2010.com, and Gnomedex.

Our guest dancer line up this month will be showing Seattle how Portland can pimp out some amazing dance! For those of you who have not seen Jewels, she has been involved in Alimah/Manon/Tamalyn's "Artist's Circle" project (2011), and really impressing me with her use of older music, new energy, and down-right technically flawless zill playing that makes the musician in me get chills of ecstasy. It's the closest thing you'll ever experience to zill-playing lust.

Paired with Mr. Kalia's spontaneous dancing (!) and his Pearls of the East dinner specials (paired with a glass of red or white wine), our Pearls shows have been impressing the community and drawing regulars.

Would you like to volunteer for this month's show? I (Imei) need one volunteer with experience with sound equipment, using a hand-held microphone, and collecting door fees,as well as  walking the floor at intermission. Your door fee is compensation, plus a  percentage of the door fee. Volunteer will be accepted by experience and willingness to help promote the show via Social Media channels two weeks prior to the event. If you are interested, please email me ASAP at info@hipsforhire.com.

Next month: J9 (Janine Pierce)

Hope to see you there!

Cheers!

Imei
