Hey all! All of our my space pages are still up and running and if you need one done or would like me to set-up a free e-mail account through our host for you, let me know. My fees are very reasonable and I am doing myspace pages for free for the first 5 to respond. I have already done one, so only 4 more for free and it comes with free e-mail account set-up, too for your biz or org. To see the page I have already done look at any of my pages online - I did them all! This is an offer to those who do not have any knowledge at all about html codes and can not set-up a professional looking page or website themselves. As always, thanks for the many years of support! Stay Blessed and Grow On! Amina Amina's DVD in the works called,"Feminine Healing African Dance" will be available for sale by the end of August 2008 and will include a booklet with details on the technique and rhythms! Amina uses creative visualization, affirmations, and meditations to clear the womb and calm the spirit. The movements are specially selected from various West African dances & GangGang and will balance out feminine energy and increase sensuality and self-esteem. Orders for the DVD will be taken starting in July 2008. |

It is my goal to get African Ballet technique onto Broadway not contemporary versions of it, only, but all of it's forms. I have almost completed the writing stages of the project and am now going to begin to seek dancers to interview who would be willing to have their voice be heard during segments of my African/ American Ballet, as well as guest artists. If interested in the project let me know. Balletintlafricans@yahoo.com I aim to be finished and ready to present the completed project by July 2009. Blessings, Amina - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - BLESSINGS TO ALL! THE BIA FAM Remember...
