Description: For drummers and dancers alike! Danielle and Tim Gerwing teach the components of a dynamic bellydance
drum solo while drummers learn to work with dancers and dancers work with a live
drummer! Not only will drummers learn how to make their solo pop, dancers will
come to understand how to work with a live musician as they learn how to layer
isolations in Danielle\’s signature style. The workshop will allow variations in steps
for beginners to advanced dancers to increase the intensity of the steps to suit their
level, and for drummers to practice and build on technique. All levels with some
experience welcome

Cost: $35 or $60 for this and July 12 workshop

Banquet Room Table or Rack:  each space 60.00 per day

Consignment table:
As always, MEDA members are invited to sell their gently-loved goods on the MEDA Consignment Table.

Consignment Table Guidelines

MEDA provides this table as a service for members.  It is staffed by volunteers (whom we greatly value), so please be courteous to them – if you want to sell on this table please observe the rules.

1 – MEDA members only can sell at this table.  (Register with Shalazar by March 20th.)
2 – Only 10 items per member allowed on the tables at any one time – more items will be added as your goods sell.
3 – Items must be clean & odourless.  Air smelly costumes now!!
4 – You must supply us with a list of your items (two copies on an 8 x 11” page,  smaller gets lost too easily).  Put your name, address and phone # at the top.
5 – Every item for sale must have a tag or label with: (1) the item # from the list (2) the price  (3) your initials (e.g.:  # 4   $15.00   AL)
6 – IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TAKE OFFERS, MARK DOWN ON BOTH SHEETS THE LOWEST PRICE YOU WILL ACCEPT.
7 – Review the list with volunteers when you bring your goods.
8 – MEDA charges $5.00 for the use of the table plus 5% of the value of merchandise sold.
9 – MEDA will close the table one hour before the bazaar ends  on Sunday to tally up the sales and calculate payouts.
10 – No early payouts please!
11 – Sellers must make arrangement to pick up their unsold goods at the end of the bazaar.

Thank you for participating and respecting these guidelines!
