Divadlo Na Prádle – GALA SHOW

The very first Tribal Festival in Prague and we couldn’t miss it! We were invited by Martina to dance at the evening Gala Show alongside such dancers as Elizabeth Strong and Bri Hurley.
The theater buzzed with activity as more than eighty dancers prepared for their performance at the Open Stage or later Gala Show.

We met some good friends we knew from other events and between doing our make-up and hair, caught up with them, exchanged news and exciting ideas. It was a high quality show with many different styles, all flowing in a steady stream of solid performances. The audience applauded, screamed and zaghareeted for every dancer and group, and of course we were watching our fellow dancers too and supporting them loudly!

After the show, all excitement slowly ebbing away, we met for kofola at the theatre bar and had a profund discussion about false eyelashes and babysitting jobs…

…..we always have a lot of fun!

Inspired by the Rustiqua sessions in Bratislava, we set out to find a place in Vienna where we could hold our Vienna sessions. We came upon an Indian Shop / Restaurant with great decoration and sutiable atmosphere – Govinda. The owner of the place, Ilse Vossough, was exicted about the idea and we had a planning meeting right away !

We agreed on a date, spread the news. The day came and the place was filled with our friends, family, students, and customers of the shop.

We talked, danced, ate and drank, laughed and had a wonderful evening. Ilse prepared delicious Indian food, drinks and sweets, and by the end of the evening it was all gone!

See you all at the next one!!

Big thanks goes to our friend Marianna M who came all the way from Bratislava and made these photos for us!

December 2009, we finally managed to go to Bratislava and watch the Rustiqua monthly Session in the teahouse. We enjoyed the combination of live music and good dancing and at one point even contibuted by playing sagat and of course screaming and clapping ;D. The girls invited us to come next time and dance with them….

so we came and danced….

surprise though there was only one Rustiqua!

but we still had a lot of fun

because dancing to live music is soooo great

so if there is anyone reading this who is a musician or can make any danceable noise please contact us!
