Good evening, everyone!
Welcome back to this week's edition of "RSU: Ray's Sirens Update!"
I got back from the monthly Sirens Board meeting a little while ago, and there was so much great stuff in the works!
Starting with the fact that my talented friend Gremnir will be putting on an event at Sirens on Saturday evening! He's a most creative musician who does wonderful collaborations with other artists, especially dancers, like you will see that night! Yours truly will be there to welcome you all to the show! https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10239410675858188&set=gm.1355195646516057
There are always classes going on, too. On Monday nights, Radha Romero the Lady in Blue, has her "The Foundation Effect" class at 6:00pm, looking at the fundamentals in bellydance technique from which a more complex choreography is created. Then, at 7:00pm, that complex choreography is explored FURTHER, in the SECOND class that Radha teaches on Mondays.
Want to learn something new? Want to have fun? Want to become part of a growing following? CHECK OUT these classes!

Shifting to Wednesday nights, gives you the opportunity to check out TerriAnne Gutierrez's classic bellydance class! With an extensive background and firsthand experience in Middle East music, dance and culture, she continually creates new performance milestones with her resident troupes, Joweh R.A.W. and Dancers of Janan, and the audiences are ALWAYS the better for it!

But Sirens Studio isn't just about shows and performances that people can come to...
You see, in addition to teaching dance at Sirens, the main theater and dance studio that comprise Sirens Studio can also be RENTED by the public! It can accommodate themed events as well!
I personally have seen the venues rented for wedding receptions, martial arts classes, yoga instruction, and SO MUCH MORE! And now, there are plenty of slots throughout the week for our beloved community to utilize this resource!
Sun-All day /Mon-5:15-6:15pm /Tues-5:30pm and onward/
Wed-5:15-6:15pm /Thurs-7:30pm and onward /Fri-All day/Sat-After 1:00pm.
Need a place to rehearse, or run a workshop or host a reception?
Think about giving Sirens a try!
I can personally attest to how it's such a big help when you're a performer putting material together.
For further details, or if you ever have questions about what else is going on at Sirens at any given time, always feel free to go to www.sirensstudio.org
And finally, HOLD THE PRESSES! This just in!
As I alluded to earlier, I came back from the Sirens Board meeting, and we discussed a multitude of topics, not the least is SIRENS FEST, coming up in July! There's going to be so many awesome workshops, vendors, performances...it's going to be so fun, like always!

Oh, and I am also excited to announce that it is now official: "Bailando", my Latin dance showcase is set to take place on Sunday, November 15th! Details to follow in the coming months! YAY!!
And as always, THANK YOU to you, our community, for without you, Sirens wouldn't be what it is today!
