Yes, Malia DeFelice: she teaches in the SF Bay Area and is still a riveting dancer of amazing power, perhaps now more than ever. Her troupe is New Moon Bellydance, and I'm honored to play for her occasionally, and to call her friend :-)

I love it. This was when floorwork, sword, folk style costuming and paying attention were still in vogue with bellydance. Other than ATS, we don't see much like this these days.

Wow! Wonderful to see this great dance of Malea, really brings back the memories. This is actually the group ' Fellahin' one of the off shot groups from Bal Anat, that would perform at the SF street fairs... Behind her are Rashid, Cloud and Robert...wonder where they are now.
