After putting up our awning for shade(!) and wearing our vibrant black and red costumes, we got the crowd tapping their feet to the beat of our new Bedouin routines.
Many people were soaking up the sun on the green and in true Ya Raqs style we persuaded them to join our mini workshop and then dance with us.

We were also joined by a guest from Australia, who had a splendid time modelling one of our new Bedouin costumes.

Going home we were sun-soaked and very happy. We returned on the Sunday afternoon, wearing another of our colourful costumes. We managed to erect our awning in record-breaking time - less than 10 minutes - which was admired by some of the crowd!
We then performed outside in the sunshire to a cheerful, appreciative, audience who joined in with the festival atmosphere.

We rounded off the day with well-deserved drinks and ice cream, which were appreciated with the sun at 24 degrees!
