Planning for the Amrazhi Japan Debut began back in March of 2005. The three of us, having both held our debut in Philadelphia and attended an event in New Jersey, decided Azhia should come to Japan for a weekend extravaganza. We organized an entire weekend of exciting events including a Trunk Show, a day of workshops, and both a fashion show and dance show showcasing some of the lovely dancers in Osaka.

On Saturday, July 2, Azhia taught two workshops for a group of talented dancers who were pleased to have the opportunity to learn from Azhia and rose to the challenge of learning a new style and new techniques.

After the workshop we quickly packed up and began the preparations for the show. The "Belly Dance Nights" show took place at a trendy, little nightclub called Visionnaire, in the center of Osaka. Our talented emcee Rob Horgan performed his duties both in Japanese and English and he was a huge hit. He even created a Top 10 List-David Letterman style!

We couldn't agree more! We'd like to share some of the pictures taken that evening of all our beautiful dancers and models who help make that event a huge success.
