    Thanks, Bonnie! I am so glad you're going. I'm really looking forward to this year... I'm in the first module of a four part, two year Yoga Teacher Training, and can't wait to apply the Biomechanical principles to Belly Dance. We'll be doing more postural integration and combinations this time.

    Post here when you register, I'll be taking requests regarding content. I want each year to be more effective than the year before.

      Will you have any special workshops for local students while you are here?

      There is a growing interest in ATS and TF among local dancers but it is still a developing artform here. I know a few will be going to the retreat but there are many more that would love to recieve this level of instruction but cannot go either because of their work schedule or the price ($1000 is pretty hefty here).

    Will there be classes/activities on the 23rd and 30th, or are those designated "arrival/departure" days? Looking to buy flights now and want to do it on the right days.

      Melinda, the retreat coordinator said, "Please book your travel to arrive on Saturday, August 23 and depart on Saturday, August 30."

      Looks like the least expensive flights on most travel sites are through Frontier, which just declared bankruptcy and might not be honoring tickets in August. Probably don't want to invest that much money in a company that is "reorganizing" right now, but it seems they are still running. More info here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontier_Airlines

        "I want each year to be more effective than the year before."

        I'm hoping this means you'll be doing Costa Rica next year! I can't swing it this year but soooo want to go so I'm making next years retreat(if there is one) my graduation gift to myself. The yoga training you mentioned sounds intriguing as well, can't wait to see what you learn from it.

            If anyone has the time you should definitely head up to Monte Verde to the cloud forests there! I spent three wonderful months there for a school study abroad program in tropical biology and fell in love with the people and the place. Pura Vida!

    oh my god, I can't go this year but I plan on travelling over mexico and costa rica during summer 2009 and finish this trip with a wonderful week in this costa rican retreat.

    do anybody knows if there's any other workshops or festival or anything related with bellydance plan in these countries for next year?
