It seems that many people in the Tribal Dance community, who know of Zaar Bellydance, are under the impression that we are no longer dancing since Bianka left for an indefinite break! I just wanted to get the word out that this is far from the case! While Bianka was the Artistic Director of Zaar for some years, we actually started as a cooperative dance troupe with the founding members of Zaar being myself, Bianka, Zade, Ange, Karin and Julie (no longer dancing with us). It kinda hurts that people have just assumed that we have fallen apart since Bianka left. While it has taken us a little while to get going again (primarily due to our other personal, family and work committments), we ae getting back into the scene. We are performing at the Melbourne Mind Body Spirit Festival on Sunday the 10th of June at 1.30pm (I think:)!) and at Warburton Winterfest on Friday the 22nd of June. Zade has also been teaching Tribal Style Bellydance at various venues since the start of the year. We would also still love to be involved in Bellydance events that go on down in the city so please remember that Zaar Bellydance is still definately alive and kicking!!!!
Thanks, Sophie:)

      Hi Dee, thanks for your message and I dont think people are being hurtful or anything. I was just feeling a bit grumpy because one of our members had been out and met up with some other tribal dancers all of whom kept thinking we had folded! Mind you, we have been failry quiet...
      Anyway, lovely to get messages of support from others! much appreciated. By the way, we are all still very good friends with Bianka who simply wanted to take a break from dancing and reassess her role in ZAAR. We are still hoping she will be joining back with us at some stage but in the meantime, we will be performing in an event she has put together, the details of which can be found in my event post and also on our website under the See Us section.

      Thanks Jedda!
      Just to announce that Bianka Rich has rejoined Zaar as a troupe member and we are all looking forward to dancing together again! She is however, making a slow entry back into dancing due to her myriad of other commitments. All the Zaar dancers are troupe members with no one person in a director role which is fun and always leads to lengthy discussions on any decision or issue! Thanks, Sophie :))
