ROSALIND!

 
         Rosalind Sabet from Ontario is in the process of starting up 2 "Egyptian Dance for Kids" classes through the Recreation dep'ts of Chino and Ontario, in January 2007.
Consistent students will have the opportunity to perform at the L.A. Fair fall of 2007.  It's a long way off, but requires a lot of practice.  Kids like to have the chance to showcase what they've learned in a good venu-the fair has always been a good experience for us.  This past Oct.  We had Shadi Siha play with the drummers-audience loved it.  I'm trying to create worthwhile experiences for the dancers over and above just taking lessons.
 
Ontario: De Anza Community Center          6-7 PM      $40/session  Wed's
 
Chino:  Chino Senior Citizens Center (by City Hall)  $40/session Mon's
 
Age Range: 9-15 years
