I've been to a number of star parties over the years. And generally the entertainment, if any, consists of astronomy and space science related lectures, the occasional sci-fi movie, and music with the most tenuous connection to astronomy on really crappy speakers. But the entertainment at the Delmarva Stargaze was a first for me and pretty much everyone else there, the Arabian Lights Dance Company in a performance of traditional and perhaps not so traditional (belly dancing to "Walk Light An Egyptian"?) belly dancing. Several of the dancers were very talented, and compete in national contests and some appeared to be new. But they were all enthusiastic and obviously having fun. And I had fun watching.

I love the movement and color in this shot! I think you should post a companion shot of the enthusiastic audience....
You definitely caught some skin - this looks like a fun show!
@ Julie: Do you really want to look at a bunch of astronomy geeks?
@ Chesney: It was a fun show. Somewhat surprisingly I must add as we, the astronomy geek audience, was somewhat skeptical when it started. But they won us over with their talent and enthusiasm.
Love the freedom that Belly Dancers engender, at one of Sally's concerts they had a BD group with no member under 40years of age, and no it wasn't a 1,000 nights stuff but the energy was paplable and so full of life.
I hope Tammy doesn't become a WoW"ser" get with the program Syster.
Hooray for MevetS!!!!
