Do I need permission from anyone to take this workshop?
No. This workshop is open to bellydancers of all levels. I recommend you have at least 6 months experience. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran, you will get more out of a weekend with Suhaila than you can imagine.

Is this a Level I workshop, or a Level II, or ... ?
No. This workship is not focused on Suhaila's Levels. It will cover many components of both the Suhaila & Jamila Formats, and Suhaila will teach us a choreography built open what we've learned.

Will there be Level I testing after this workshop?
No. Kaihea and DCTribal will sponsor a Certification workshop with Suhaila in the fall.

Will this workshop counts towards my CEC's with Suhaila?
Yes! While there won't be testing or certification, the hours you spend in this workshop count towards your yearly requirements to maintain your certification. And since this workshop is 15 hours with Suhaila, it completely satisfies your Level I CEC's for the year.

Can I register for just one or two days?
Not right now. If space is available as we get closer to the workshop dates, something may open up. But past events have made it clear that the students get more out of taking the entire workshop. I encourage anyone debating one or two or all three days to come for all three. You will be amazed.

Will Suhaila herself be teaching the workshop?
Yes.

What hotel is the closest?
The Omni Hotel is located on the downtown mall, within walking distance (it's not cheap, just close.) There are also many hotels on Route 29 and along Main Street, both of which are a short driving distance from the workshop.

How should I prepare for this workshop ?
I recommend using Suhaila's Belly Dance Fitness Fusion DVD's daily for a month prior to the workshop. Use the Jamila Salimpour Archive DVDs as well. Try to get a good cardio workout at least three times a week. And don't forget to take care of yourself: get enough sleep, eat well, and drink lots of water.

Will there be a show?
Sorry, but there will not be a show this year.
