If you are interested in taking some dance lessons (Middle Eastern/Raks Sharki/Belly Dancing/Egyptian Style), check out my information page at:  catherinebarros.info 

My Maine Coons  provide me hours of entertainment even if I do have to chase them off the computer.  See them on My Maine Coons page, where there is a slideshow for MAXIMUM Maine Coons. 

I am now on Facebook, so look for me there.  If I don't know you, I won't accept a friend request unless we have some friends in common (all dancers from around the world are welcome).

My blog  is a journal where I make entries on a weekly basis (hopefully) and post pix of various events or whatever I feel like putting up there.  Partly a way of communicating more immediate activities in my life with family and friends . . . or anyone else that is interested!!  Find out where I have been travelling to for work and dance workshops.  My niece has a blog too. catherinescott.blogspot

I have created many Picasa Web Galleries.  I will include links for the individual galleries throughout my website as embedded slideshows!!

Although it is not used so much anymore, another place to check out some of my photos is my photoblog at: cebddd.buzznet .  There are many photo galleries including:  Hong Kong (3 business trips in 2006), Egypt - 2007/2006 (Cairo), 2005 (includes Luxor), Egypt 2004 (Pyramids, Alexandria, The Nile, Egyptian Museum), Washington DC (Cherry Blossoms, Gettysburg, Mt.Vernon, Rockville MD: April '05 - Aug '05), my garden, snow in Allentown (Jan '05) and Chicago (Sept '04).

UPDATES:

APRIL 2009:   Yes, it has been a long time since I have updated my website.   I have been busy with some intense projects at work plus I've been working on my fitness routines (more cross-training for strength).   I didn't neglect my dancing and writing but I did neglect this website and my long-term project on learning the accordion.

I need a major overhaul of how I arrange things here (but a new website is not feasible at this point).  

First,  I have split off the links to my Gilded Serpent articles (reviews, interviews, etc) into a separate page ( Articles ), where I will also post other article information.   Then I will figure out what to do with the rest of this crazy website.

NEW ARTICLES - some on Gilded Serpent of course.    These include music, DVD (Farha Tour), events (Fifi Abdo), travel/photos (Dina and Cairo 2008), an interview with Dr. Mo Geddawi and one upcoming interview with Farida Fahmy (not yet written but, insha'allah, very soon).  Plus a couple in The Chronicles:  Katia of Boston in DFW and Aida Nour in Chicago (scanned and uploaded here).

NEW PHOTOS: The trip to Chicago in October 2008 for Cairo Raks Chicago gave me a chance to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo.  Go here:  Zoo .

With 2 more trips to Cairo since the last time I posted, I have some more photos of various things.  I've been busy creating more Picasa Web Galleries for these.  

Not so many photos from the Feb. 2009 trip.   I wasn't being too touristy but I did take a little trip out to Sakkara & Memphis.  I put those photos on the page where I have other photos of the Pyramids ( Pyramids ).  I have some video footage too, which I hope to get uploaded somewhere.

Mainly I was visiting people and taking some classes with Farida Fahmy (hosted by Keti Sharif).   Check out their websites.    KetiSharif  and FaridaF

From my trip in April 2008:  I am doing some re-organizing of my Egypt photos, starting with a new page for my 2008 trip.  Dina at the Semiramis ( Dina ), Leila on the Nile dinner cruise (Leila), Al Azhar Park ( Cairo2008), Day Trip to Alexandria ( Alex ) plus Nile Group Festival  ( Cairo2008 )with some other miscellaneous pix.    In case you can't figure it out where the other photos start, head to the "Photos from Egypt" page 1 (aka More from Egypt) and that is where I have put the most of the Picasa Web Galleries for Egypt (and they are overflowing the page). 

I have video footage but I have stored it in other places.    The footage from a Felluca Ride on the Nile is on facebook right now along with Lorna Gow in a short segment from her show on a Nile Dinner Cruise (Posted links to facebook on a new page MyVideos until I can figure out how to embed or whatever).

LUXOR!!!!!   I moved my webgallery of photos from my trip in 2005 to a new page and made the size bigger . .  easier to see the great photos!        Go here:  Luxor

More New Photos/April 2009:   Scanned a bunch more photos from my old Dance album - that is a blast from the past as I don't keep an album of these anymore.  And I put them in a Picasa Webgallery so it is easier for someone to view and for me to add more.  So check my Dance History page.

July 2007:  Added another new page for links to fellow bhuzzers websites at  Bhuzzers.  Remember to visit  bhuz . . . see the golden bhuz at the bottom of the page !!!

I've updated my page for my trip to Turkey with a Picasa Web Gallery slideshow!!!   Go check out Turkey

Look on my Photos page for a new slideshow of Hong Kong photos.

June 2007:   Uploaded photos from my trips to Egypt into a Picasa Web Gallery.   This makes it easier to view the photos rather than posting them on this website.  I have many of the same photos that are on my photoblog, but that takes so long to load these days since buzznet has gotten so popular.   Go to More from Egypt  to see the galleries which I have created so far.  

Aida Nour - go here:  Aida Nour  .    There are photos from 2005 and 2006 shows.  I have a blog where I posted some videos that she allowed us to take in Las Vegas (2007), Nile Group Festival (2008) and Chicago (2008) - Blog

April/May/June 2007 - I had a review of Hadia's Teacher Training Level I (presented in Baton Rouge Oct. 2006)  published in The Chronicles (link now posted on Articles page).  Also a page for Hadia, where I might post other photos of her - go here:  HADIA .

Feb/Mar. 2007- Back to Cairo.   I took some great sunset photos from the balcony of the flat.  You can see some of those photos in one of my Picasa Web Galleries.   

March 2006:  Another trip to Cairo, Egypt for 2 weeks.     Did a lot of touristy things:  went to Manyal Palace, the Geyer-Anderson Museum, Ibn Tulun Mosque, Coptic Cairo, Khan el Khalilli (of course . .. always go there).  I also endured several days of brown sandy skies due to the sandstorms blowing in.  It was interesting, but not fun if you wanted to walk around outside at the various sites.

Feb/Mar 2005:    Egypt for 2 weeks with a trip to Luxor.   Some great photos from Luxor (check my Picasa Web Galleries, etc). 

Photos of Dina in LA, May 2004 and Cairo, at the Semiramis, June 2004.    Dina photos.  (Now slideshows)

Mona el Said photos from the workshop/show in September 2004.    MonaElSaid photos   (Now a slideshow)

Photos from my FIRST Trip to Egypt in February, 2004: More From Egypt page.

March 2005/Here I am at Hatshepsut's Temple in Luxor  ( left).   March 2006/Standing on the minaret of the Mosque ibn Tulun with The Citadel in the  background (right).   Slideshows for both these trips now.
