Dear Community,

We are deeply saddened to announce, that due to circumstances beyond
our control, the Wiggles of the West Belly Dance Competition and the
Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive will not be held together in 2009.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to secure the needed time and
space at
Palace Station to do both events together. Additionally, we have not
been able to find another location that is affordable, available, and
in a decent location with the amenities we require.

Due to the amount of time needed for proper planning, we have decided
to run our events separately in Las Vegas. We want to be clear that
this is a joint and mutual decision. We truly want both events be be
successful and well-attended. We wish each other well in our
respective endeavors.

Sincerely,

Janie Midgley & Chris Proebstel, the Wiggles of the West Belly Dance
Contest
Samira Tu'Ala, the Las Vegas Bellydance Intensive
