Kudos and Accolades
Artistic Director - Gold Dome Multicultural Center: I would love for your dance troupe to perform. I've seen them perform at IAO's Biting the Apple and absolutely loved them... in fact, I'd love to take classes …….
“Gopuram Patron”: There was standing room only – lots of people could not get into the Party Room and had to take tables in the restaurant area. (New Year's Eve show)
Owner, Taj India Cuisine: Everyone was having such a great time – we asked them to stay longer and continue their show. (New Year's Eve show)
“Happy Zorba’s Patron”: The Bellydancers were great! We used to see them regularly at Express Café and have been waiting to see them again. Definitely made our New Year’s a night to remember. (New Year's Eve show)
Shari Zaloski: I just wanted to let you know how fantastic the dancers were at the "Memories of the Silk Road" performance in Lawton, OK. The Gypsy Stars and the Tribal Stars were wonderful! Do you offer private lessons?? I would love to learn from your fabulous dancers when I'm in the area. I would love to see any and all upcoming performances.

Win Platinum in Preliminary to Las Vegas Dance Competition~
Three of our Desert Fire Princesses are sitting on
top of the world after winning the first place, Platinum Trophy, at the Cathy Roe Ultimate Dance
preliminary competition in Oklahoma City, January 2004. In addition the group
also won awards for 'Best Costume.' Now the Princesses are gearing up to compete
in the nationwide dance contest. The final competition will be held in Las Vegas,
July 2004. The dancers are entering in the Ethnic Dance category.
The
Princesses, under the name of 'Desert Fire Dance Team,' competed with over
100 other contestants from all other dance genres, and were judged on cumulative
points only. The competition wasn't judged by dance genre, so they competed
against ballerinas, hip hop, jazz, lyrical and other dance styles. Their marks
from the Judges ranged from 99 (out of 100) to 93 - Great Job Princesses!!
