What People Are Saying...
Yearning for more Ajaya?...

Ajaya is currently teaching classes at her
studio in Port Angeles. For more info on her
class schedule, see her
Classes Page.



Wine, Women and Song?...Nope,
Dance!

Due to the closing of the Lyre's Club,
Shula Azhar will no longer be able to
perform at that location. But do not dismay!
Beginning January 7th, and continuing the
schedule of the first Thursday of each
month at 7:30, Shula Azhar will be providing
the same dazzling dance entertainment
they're known for at Wine on the
Waterfront in "The Landing".


NW Folklife Festival 2010

Shula Azhar performed at the NW Folklife
Festival again this year, and what a show it
was! Amazing dancing, stunning costumes,
mesmerizing veils and silk fans... I wish I could
have watched it from the audience's
perspective. In a word, it 'ROCKED'.
Here are links to some
awesome photos

Medfest 2010

Start planning your MEDFEST weekend! If
you missed the debut of our new sword and silk
fan-veil choreographies at the Folklife Festival,
you'll get a second chance to see this amazing
performance. Shula Azhar will be performing on
Sunday, July 18th, on the indoor stage.
"You ladies Rak! The solo dances were
superb, not that I'm qualified to judge; the
thing that captivates my attention is the
control and coordination and passion that I
see when every motion translates to the
music and I can see the effort of making
muscles obey fluidly despite the obvious
difficulty. I can't chew gum and tie my
shoes at the same time. You ladies are
talented and beautiful to see in motion!"

Florence, Oregon post-show report:

"And the gals of Shula Azhar: WOW those
girls rocked my SOCKS! Po and I decided
we're in love. This is a group of dancers
from Port Angeles, Washington--all very
talented Egyptian style soloists, and then
they are so tight as a group, they are like
sisters!
They did a really cute Indian-inflenced
group dance (like Belly Dance Superstars,
but BETTER, and I'm not kidding!) and then
they did a super-sassy Egyptian style
troupe drum solo at the end. Ye gads they
were cute. And they are all shoulder-height
on me, so that makes them even cuter. Go
see them, if you get a chance. "
