Fremont Solstice Parade 2008


More Solstice Pics Here

Dear Dancers,

It is with extreme pride that we are pleased to announce that this will mark the 18th year the Visionary Dancers will become a beautiful addition to the parade. The theme this year is "Women for Peace" We are aligning our bellies and dance enthusiasm towards the direction of world peace. How? By a simple show of numbers of women coming out to belly dance all decked in BRIGHT PINK. IT'S CODE PINK! Pink is an Aphrodite color! It's healthy, attractive, and luscious. We want to spread our message of peace!

Come to our opening day party night on Thursday MAY 1st for the full game plan! Bring any interested friends!
7:00pm
VDP Studio
4128 Fremont Ave N Seattle, Wa 98103
(206) 632-2353

We have many styles of belly dance to choose from this year! We have Ghawazee Pink contingent by Dahila Moon. And we have the Original Parade contingent ala Delilah & Laura Rose.

You do not have to be in the parade to take Delilah's Parade Class; learn more about belly dance and get a great work out... but of course we hope and encourage everyone to take part. Nor do you have to be in one of our parade classes to participate in the parade with Visionary Dancers. We need many volunteers to be flower girls, water bearers, and banner carriers. You will have to wear some sort of costume in the theme colors of our group. We are also in need of banner painters and prop makers! Come to our opening night Thursday, May 1st..

Don't miss the fun! There are 7 weeks of parade classes this year!

It's going to be powerful!

Advanced Dancers String

The advanced string of dancers is for dancers with lots of interest, time and dedication and who want to take on a more of a leadership role in the ranks of the parade project in general. Many of the ideas for the future weeks rehearsals are born in this class as well as adding special attributes. This class officially meets on Thursdays 6:30-8:00 to work on concepts, challenges, choreographic design and special positioning. Dancers are expected to make it to as many Tuesday and Wednesday classes as they can to assist and lead the over all group class choreographs.
