Episode 41: The Husbands Speak!

9:48 PM Edit This 3 Comments »
Two of our favorite bellydancer husbands swing by the YIP studios to share their thoughts on bellydance and marriage! George Perez and Ismael "June" Alsina both dote on their lovely wives (Carol and Keely, respectively). One wife dances classical bellydance, one dances tribal fusion - what drama will ensue when these two combatants enter the ring?!?

Just kidding! We're all friends here...sorry if you were looking forward to some drama! :-)

Mary also indulges her love for pop music and Tammy plugs an event taught by George's lovely wife (and friend of YIP) - Carol!

Also a Quick Note: In case anyone was curious, Keely (June's wife) has had their baby since the recording of this episode. Mom and Baby are both healthy and happy!

It's our final Seattle Session episode!! This week we get an answer to the question "Just who is CopperClock?" It turns out that CopperClock is a super awesome power duet consisting of the fantastic Sarah Kate and Letty of Seattle, Washington!! (Does is seem like we're gushing a bit more than usual here? That's because they are bona fide Friends of the Show!) CopperClock combines elements of bellydance, ballet, tango and awesomeness to create a wonderfully playful and unique aesthetic that is not only impressive but also thoroughly entertaining! (They're also really nice, which is one more reason to like them!)
