Many thanks to everyone who participated in the March 3-5, 2006 Karim Nagi / Turbo Tabla weekend
workshops and performances.  It was a wonderful opportunity for both dancers and musicians (and those
straddling both worlds) to come together for two days of laughing, learning, and music.

In addition to all the recreational photographers in attendance, we were also fortunate to have two professional
photographers attend the evening events.  Please check out our Turbo Tabla page for more information on
ordering those photographs.  For those that videotaped the events, please contact Sylvana about providing her
copies of the videotaped materials.
