The year ended with a flurry of activities for various troupe members, these events included a Ren Faire, an ATS workshop in Springfield, and our troupe hafla.

This year The Jones Center's annual International Festival was moved to the fall and we had a great time performing there as we always do.

At Shimmy Fest we had a great time learning Turkish Roma dancing
 and a jazzy fusion piece from Dalia Carella.   

This year presented a new venue for us at the Culture Fest in Noel, Missouri.  We had such a fabulous time that we hope this will become another annual event for us.

Some of our members were luckily enough to take a road trip to Buffalo, Missouri where they attended an American Tribal Style workshop taught by Zivah Serpentina of Red Moon Tribe and they performed at the hafla that evening.

Our second year to perform at the Rogers International Festival was even better than the first.  Ngaio even got the emcee involved!

There was a miracle at Springfest this year - no rain!  It was sunny and warm.  Our thirty dancers looked so beautifully in all their colorful costumes.
