What is the combined bellydance (modern/cabaret and tribal) atmosphere like across the pond?

Is there equal anticipation in expectance for those of you Euro bellydancers here as it is for us
when Raqs America or Raqs LA comes by (of course, y'all got to get a performance this year
out of it, lucky ladies)?

Is the tribal bd community stronger or still more regionally underground throughout the UK
since Raqs UK's inception(s)?

What's the one thing you like to see added to Raqs Brittania for 2010?

Who are the fresh faces bound to make for stardom IN the UK as far as modern/cabaret and
tribal bellydance goes?

Were the workshops taken/attended everything that you thought they would be? Was there some-
thing missing?

Feedback welcomed, including short stories on your personal experiences of taking it all in
and just being around all the goodness... :)~
