Note to those who might be interested in my workshop--it is intended for people who already have belly dance experience but do not know much about gothic belly dance or goth in general. None of the movements we'll be working with are that complicated or advanced, but dancers in the workshop should feel comfortable with basic movements (tribal or cabaret, won't really matter).
