Hello Gang!\u00a0 It’s that time of the year when businesses dive into a yearly review.\u00a0 2020 has been a bit of a struggle for all people across the whole planet.\u00a0 I thank my lucky stars that my hubby is still working and that we are surviving this dark year.\u00a0 My business, like many small belly dance businesses, took a huge hit in 2020.\u00a0 My motto for the year changed during the month of March to\u00a0 “Strive to Survive!”<\/p>\n

However, the silver lining in that dark cloud was time to really think about my mission.\u00a0 What I enjoy the most is historical research and sharing it with my fellow dancers.\u00a0 With this in mind, I am making a pivot in my business, and moving all of my most popular slide-talks into digital form, one month at a time.<\/p>\n

New Format – “Topic & Talk”<\/h2>\n

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve seen my posts on history.\u00a0 Throughout the coming year, I’ll continue to make these posts on Facebook and Instagram.\u00a0 However, moving forward, I’ll be wrapping each month up with a history slide-talk.\u00a0 This is a great opportunity for those who want a deeper dive into the subject to join me to see even more images, soak up more history, and ask questions about the content.<\/p>\n

“A Journey Down the Nile 1910”<\/h2>\n

This month’s “Topic & Talk” is “A Journey Down the Nile, 1910.\u00a0 This is one of my most popular talks that I’ve given numerous times in the past 8 years.\u00a0 Join me for a discussion of how an American tourist would travel to Egypt at the end of the first decade of the 20th century.\u00a0 This year dovetails into my researcher in both dance and textiles, and so within the framework of tourist travel, I’ll be discussing how you would buy an assiut shawl, where, and why.\u00a0 I’ll also be sharing eye-witness accounts of Egyptian dance, and the surviving ephemera that helps us understand how the taste for belly dance evolved and propelled the expansion of our art form in the US. This talk is hosted by Sara Shrapnell<\/a>, one of the co-authors, and one of the owners of the Belly Dance Business Academy.<\/a><\/p>\n

The beauty of this “Topic & Talk” format is that I get to share even MORE historic images!\u00a0 There’s such a rich visual history from this era, there will be very few “repeats” from the image posts on social media! If you have any questions about this or future talks, please send me an email at davina@davina.us or message me on Facebook or Instagram.<\/p>\n

I’m so excited about this new adventure!<\/strong><\/em>
\nI look forward to seeing you at one of my talks,
\nbut in the meantime, have a happy and safe holiday season!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
