May 2nd was the Boiler Bar Productions May Day Party.  What a fantabulous time!  There was delicious food, fireworks, a giant iron snail, and the best show and performers.  The lineup included: Holly Volatile, Mareeshka, Mitara, Room for Cream, Sister Kate, Tanzee, Gibson Pearl, and of course Denzel.  The acts ranged from vintage styled bellydance to straightjacket escape! There was so much to see and do, it was amazing.  Lots of photos here at the master photographer Brad’s site; Taboo Media.  And a summary with more photos at the Boiler Bar Blog.

And the party was profiled on Boing Boing!  Watch the video, Denzel is on the splash frame and some highlights of her dancing throughout.

Well, better a late post than a never post.  In the largest bellydance festival in North America, Denzel performed Sunday at 11:15 am(!) to a remarkably appreciative crowd.  I had a wonderful time performing on the glasses and then to a Shantel remixed version of “Tha Spaso Koupes”.  Funnily enough, this translates to “I smash glasses”!  Photos are coming soon.
