www.helene-eriksen.de News:
I'm leaving again tomorrow for 3 weeks in Europe. This weekend is a Moroccan workshop in Emmelshausen in Germany, then I continue on to Catania, Sicily and Ljubljana, Slovenia for further workshops. I do hope to see many old and new students!
My performances last month in Germany were great...it was wonderful to see old friends, colleagues and students. Thank you to everyone who participated or came to watch...it is afterall for you!
The Göttinger Tageblatt wrote a nice article about my work that you can read here. And you can see the beautiful photos that my dear friend Daniel Fuchs took of the Göttingen Gala on my Facebook fan page (do sign up if you haven't already!) The photo of the Moroccan dance to the right is a small preview. There is also a lovely album of photos by Byron Dazey from the Seattle MEAI show in September that you can see here.
One of my yoga teachers Jim Weber wrote this little article about me on his website www.prescriptionyoga.com (scroll down to find it).

Please notice that my usual weekend in Rome this November has been replaced by a gig in Sicily. This might be worth flying down to and having a nice short vacation before winter really sets in!
For those of you in the rest of the world you can now register for year-long training projects starting in 2010 Göttingen, Germany (starts in January) and in the Bay Area (San Jose), CA (starts in May). You can find more information about intensive training programs here on my web page: www.helene-eriksen.de/trainingprogram.htm If you are interested in the training project in the Bay Area, CA starting May 2010 please contact Dakini at amitabha108@...
I am planning new dance study tours for next year: There will be tours to Georgia and Istanbul in April. (so you can start reserving your places now...this trip is getting more popular every year). I am also planning a summer trip to Marrakesh for the big folk festival in 2010...it will be wonderful to be going back there after a long hiatus. A new event will be a tour to Istanbul in June that I am planning with my nephew...an up and coming fashion designer. On this tour we will concentrate on traditional textiles and fashion...but also have plenty of time to explore some music and dance. More information about Dance and Culture Tours: www.helene-eriksen.de/tours.htm
Winter is coming and it is getting cold. I have revived my Etsy site where you can see my hats and get one to keep you head warm and colorful! Check it out here.
A new DVD is available of my dance ensemble ANAR produced by the Seattle Channel TV. Contact me for more information!

I have reprinted by Nailiyat Source Book. It is full of historical images that I have collected for years as well as texts about these fascinating dancing women of Algeria. If you would like to order a copy please send me an email or visit my online shop on my website.
Now is the time to plan your event for 2010 and 2011...so please contact me if you would like to organize a workshop or performance!!!
