The 23nd Annual Fremont Summer Solstice Parade
Saturday, June 18th 2011
10am-2pm
We are looking forward to a very powerful Summer Solstice Parade. We hope to see all your smiling faces in some capacity to show your support of the beauty and vitality belly dance brings into all our lives! The parade is about demonstrating our pride and conviction! We have an exciting plan for this parade!
Theme: “Blood & Oil”
Blood of Life and Blood of the Earth; Valuable commodities in the world these days.
Colors: RED and BLACK
Delilah’s Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday strings are RED with small black accents.
Dahlia’s Wednesday string is BLACK with small red accents.
Gold and/or silver hardware is fine in all strings.
In our costumes we will depict these two liquid substances.
Ceinture du Samson
Brigitte and helpers have made up some cool Parade Belly Dance Belts for sale. They are made of panels bound with eyelet lacing and can be bought by the panel. They are suitable for either RED Blood or Black OIL dancers and volunteer parade participants. You can buy them by the panel. We will put up a photo on the parade page later tonight or tomorrow morning. You can even build a top with them maybe.
$10 each panel or 5 for $45, 6 for $52, 7 for $59
*Rhythm Tracks Now Available Click Here>>
Ideas: Body paint red or black with glitters, black, silver, luminescence; maybe black iris glitter to make it appear oily.
We may use black and red veils or streamers and maybe even use visqueen. Props will be announced shortly.
