It's the busiest time of year for bellydancers! Costumes and choreographies are getting last minute touches. Rakassah--the world's biggest bellydance festival meets March 15, 16 & 17 at a new venue: the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo, off Highway 37 and near the Six Flags amusement park.

Dhyanis' two troupes will perform on Sunday March 16. Troupe Dhyanis performs at 7 PM and Troupe Les Gazelles at 7:40 PM, both in the west (entrance) building.
