alonewiththemoonThis Sunday, July 17, I am dancing my first solo at the Middle East during the open floor session. I'll be going on sometime after 9:30, just for 4-5 minutes, but it's a pretty big deal to me because the Middle East is the cradle of belly dance civilization in Boston. So, if you feel like going out for a late dinner or a nice pint of drink, I'd be thrilled to see friendly faces in the crowd (well, thrilled or panicked--I can't figure out which). No cover charge, no drink/food minimum, though the waitresses may get justifiably pissy with you if you sit at a booth or table without ordering anything, since you then cut into their tips.
(Speaking of tips--by no means am I asking you to tip me, but as a public service announcement, if you should care to tip a belly dancer at the Middle East, watch how other people do it first. Usually they shower the money (anywhere from $2-3 to lots) over her head, or toss it joyfully in the air at her. Somebody will pick it all up for the dancer when she's done. Attempted body-tipping will not be appreciated by most dancers and definitely not by the management, and may get you thrown out, even if you've seen it done at other venues in the Boston area. :-)
