space for students by phone but you can usually drop
in for a little higher price. First come first serve.
We do not take credit cards for classes, only cash or
checks. Registrations needs to be sent at least 3 days
in advance. We know some people like the freedom of
registering on the day of the workshop or class. That
is fine if there is room and dancers pay a little more
at the door for that convenience.

people register in advance. In that case, we refund
all money. There are no refunds or makeups for missed
classes.
Please pay CASH if you are registering the day of the
workshop ( we have had problems with checks and we
charge $20 for returned checks).

Costume Workshops
Delilah’s Parade Costume Workshops
Part 1 and 2 with Delilah and Tayissa.
Getting ready for the Solstice Parade early never hurts. The theme this year is “Achievement” and the costumes are to be Ancient Egyptian inspired. As promised, Delilah is holding a workshop that will include how to craft one of her Ancient Egyptian wig headresses.
Theme: Ancient Egyptian Costuming!
Delilah has always received compliments on her pharoanic style wig headdress. (She thinks she must have been an ancient Egyptian wig maker in a previous life-time). She wore one of her wigs into a restaurant in Egypt in 2000 and a club owner was so amazed by it, he tried to buy it right off her head for $500. Then he begged her to make him one. You will love owning one!
IMPORTANT:You must register by January 6th because of the procure-ment of supplies involved. You can divide the total costs and make two payments if you like.
You will need to bring a styrofoam wig head and a C-clamp apparatus to secure head onto a tabletop or counter. Details send via e-mail in January
.
