� e mayoral race came to an end earlier than Albuquerque expected.

� e Oct. 6 Albuquerque Mayor-al Election will not continue with a runo� election in November.

According to the City Clerk’s Web site, Richard “R.J.” Berry won the election with 43.22 percent of the vote over Incumbent Mayor Martin Chavez and candidate Rich-ard Romero. Berry had 32.273 total votes. Chavez ended the election with roughly 35 percent of the vote, and Romero had about 21 percent of the votes counted. � e election out-come was declared with nearly 90 percent of Albuquerque precincts reporting. Berry needed more than 40 percent of the vote to win the mayoral election.

All the city bond measures on the ballot passed, including bonds for a transportation tax, public safe-ty, energy and water, and public transportation.

Of about 327,000 registered vot-ers in Albuquerque, only about 80,000 votes were cast, according to the City Clerk’s Web site.

� e Clerk’s o� ce expected turn-out to be between 30 and 40 per-cent, but instead it was less than 25 percent.

UNM business professor How-ard Kraye said he encouraged his students to vote, even if they were apathetic about the race.

“I pushed all my students to go vote. …� ey didn’t see the connec-tion between their voting and what was happening,” he said. “I said you have to do this because it’s a sacred right. So they all went out and voted,

so that’s the good news.” Mayor-elect Berry attended the

University of New Mexico where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in � nance.

He and his wife own and op-erate a construction business in Albuquerque.

Berry’s campaign focused on government transparency, educa-tion and public safety. At the debate held Sept. 19, Berry said public safe-ty was an issue that came up as he campaigned door-to-door.

“� ere is a common thread with the people I’ve had discussions with. People want to feel safe in their homes,” he said at the debate. “And they don’t. � ey want a bright future for their children. � ey want a good job that will enable them to support

� e dorms on south campus have yet to be approved, but they’ve already prompted claims of prefer-ential treatment for athletes.

GPSA President Lissa Knudsen said south campus dorms would give preferential treatment to ath-letes because they will be close to athletic complexes.

“� ere are just a lot of concerns that we have with that particular site, and one of those concerns is that it’s located adjacent to the athletic facil-ity,” Knudsen said. “� is seems to be a way to cater speci� cally to the ath-letes — it’s the only thing that I can see that’s going on there.”

Steve Be� ort, Vice President of Institutional Support Services, said the south campus dorms are not in-tended to give student athletes ad-vantages over other students. He said the dorms are being built for upperclassmen use.

“� ere have been some peo-ple trying to imply that it’s only an athletic venture, and it really has nothing to do with athletes,” Be� ort said. “� e whole point is

athletes would have the same op-tion to live there as other people if they’re upperclassmen.”

Knudsen said the University would violate NCAA guidelines if the south campus dorms are used mainly for athletes.

According to NCAA bylaw 16.5.1.1, athletics dormitories are de� ned as “institutional dormito-ries in which at least 50 percent of the residents are student-athletes.”

Sports Information Director Greg Remington said it’s not possible for half of the new dorms to be occu-pied by student-athletes. He said there are 415 student-athletes — 125 of them freshmen — attending UNM this year. Since the proposed dorms are reserved for upperclass-men only, Remington said less than 300 student athletes could live in the residence hall, which will have at least 800 beds.

Sports Compliance Manager Dawn Martinez said athletic dorms would never be allowed at UNM.

“From the athletic department perspective, we wouldn’t support athletic-only dorms because it is

UNM’s Sustainability Studies Program has seen an increase in student enrollment and demand for a sustainability studies major this year.

Program Director Bruce Milne said last semester the program had approximately 55 students, and this year 87 students have enrolled. He said the increased enrollment will allow professors in sustainability studies to provide new classes.

Milne said the increase in the number of credit hours will also provide more funding for the pro-gram next semester.

“What we’re set up to do this year is to have a 56 percent increase in the student credit hours we gener-ate,” he said. “So it’s de� nitely a fast-growing program. It’s not huge, you know, but it’s fast-growing.”

Students still cannot major in sustainability studies, Milne said, but they can take it as a minor or en-roll in sustainability studies courses as electives.

When the program � rst started, a major wasn’t o� ered because of concern for students being able to � nd a job with a degree in sustain-ability studies, Milne said.

“We didn’t want to put the stu-dents at risk — like if you were a sustainability major, your boss might say ‘Yeah, but what do you re-ally do?’” he said. “Now that was a few years ago, when we set this up, and now the demand is there for a major. I surveyed my students the other day, and it was unanimous. � ey would love to see a major in

sustainability studies.” Milne said the Sustainability Studies Program works with six departments at the University, including those in the School of Architecture and Plan-ning and the College of Arts and Sciences.

“All of the students are eligible to take our minor,” he said. “� at means that if they combine that with their major, then when they work as an architect, they can be a greener architect, or if they work as a chem-ist, they’ll be a greener chemist or a greener economist or � ne artist.”

Milne said he is studying similar programs at other universities to get ideas about how to implement a sus-tainability studies major at UNM.

“I’m challenging myself to � nd out ways to di� erentiate our major from other sustainability majors,” he said. “What would really make it spe-cial here?”

Student Gael Whettnall, who is a student in the Sustainability Studies Program, said it’s important to learn about environmental issues.

Several UNM students are taking a stand in the national campaign to pass a climate control bill.

1Sky is a national organization campaigning for the bill, which the senate will vote on before December.

The organization was founded in 2007 to generate a grassroots effort that would prompt strong federal in-volvement in global warming by 2010, said Aaron Myran, 1Sky organizer of the New Mexico coalition.

Myran said the New Mexico branch is staffed mainly by UNM stu-dent volunteers.

“This kind of commitment to the cause from the youth is so important,” Myran said. “Younger people are see-ing their future and they see the need for immediate change.”

Myran said 1Sky will host house parties throughout the state in Octo-ber. The parties will provide phone banks to call New Mexico legislators and strengthen support for the bill.

Student Elizabeth Bennett said the group has been handing out postcards that prompt students and citizens to call Senator Udall and Senator Bingaman to push for legislation. The two New Mexico

against the NCAA rules,” she said. “Even if somebody came up and said, ‘We’re going to give you so many millions of dollars and build dorms for athletes,’ we still couldn’t use them, and they’d just sit there and look pretty.”

Martinez said no student-ath-letes have ever had to move out of their dorms because of the guide-lines, and there are, on average, less

than 200 student-athletes in all of UNM’s residence halls.

“Typically from year to year our number of on campus athletes don’t really change, and it’s usually about 170 to 175 students,” she said. “There are only four dorms where it could be numerically possible that more than half of our kids could take those spots.”

Beffort said the south campus

dorms will not give preference to athletes. He said every UNM stu-dent will have an equal opportunity to live there.

“That’s not why were building those dorms there,” Beffort said. “They were never looked at as ath-letic dorms at all — they will be built because we need additional bed space.”

Daughter to raise murdered parents’ kids

by Don BabwinThe associated press

CHICAGO — A Florida woman said she is fulfilling a promise she never thought she’d have to keep by raising nine special-needs children her parents had adopted before they were shot to death in their home in July.

“She would talk about it to us, ‘If something were to happen, make sure my babies are taken care of,’” Ashley Markham said of her moth-er during an interview on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” that aired Wednesday.

Markham, who appeared with her husband on the show, said her parents, Byrd and Melanie Billings,

traveled a lot, and that her mother asked that the children be kept to-gether, not placed in group homes or foster care.

“I told her, ‘You don’t ever have to worry about that.’”

Markham, who has declined numerous interview requests from the national media, allowed the show’s cameras into the home west of Pensacola, Fla., where her parents were killed and where she and her husband, James “Blue” Markham, now raise the children.

She said after sleeping on the couch when they first arrived, she and her husband now sleep in the bedroom where her parents were shot during what authorities say was a home-invasion robbery.

“I just developed a certain

peace, almost like her (Mela-nie Billings) telling me, ‘It’s OK, you can do this,’” Markham told Winfrey.

Markham did not discuss the details of the slayings or the eight people who are charged in the July 9 attack that occurred while the children were at home.

But during a segment in which a film crew from Winfrey’s show visited the house, Markham and the children — who have special needs ranging from Down syn-drome to autism to fetal alcohol syndrome — did talk briefly about the night of the shootings.

“I can only imagine what they were thinking and what they saw,”

Editor,� is week, as we walk through campus, we

face graphic, imposing images of aborted fe-tuses, which are not only o� ensive and unsuit-able, but indicate clearly the mentality of the hosting group “Justice for All.” � ese people do not seek public dialogue, but instead choose to force their viewpoint down the throats of others as violently and unilaterally as they can.As an anti-abortionist activist myself, I thought I would have common ground with this group

and tried, ine� ectually, to communicate to them my grievances with their tactics. � ey did not attempt to listen. At every pause they launched into stale and already-stated dia-tribes without responding to my articulated concerns. � eir Web site is no better: � eir “What do you think?” page o� ers no means of lodging complaints or forwarding sugges-tions, but only permits the visitor to donate to their cause or re-read a page of propaganda.My husband and I have been active in anti-abortion movements in New Mexico for at least two decades. � e groups we have been a� liated with are peaceful, prayerful, posi-tive and supportive. We believe that all life is wonderful and should be treated with dignity.

I found no dignity a� orded those poor abort-ed fetuses displayed on giant billboards, and I hope that the young people who pass by do not believe that all anti-abortion movements are so negative, so exploitive, so self-righ-teous, and so extreme as this one. I hope stu-dents will know that there is a possibility for real dialogue and non-condemnatory discus-sion on this issue, and that not everyone in-volved in the anti-abortion e� ort is as closed-minded and uncaring as those involved in the inaptly-named “Justice for All.”

Suzanne RoopUNM student

Editor,Today I was shocked to be crossing Smith

Plaza between classes and unexpectedly confronted with an 18-foot display of anti-abortion propaganda.

That, of course, is the intent of the “Jus-tice for All” exhibit: To startle, confuse, and frighten women into thinking that they are participants in genocide if they have an abortion. With microphone and camera in tow, this organization has cleverly concoct-ed the appearance of public discourse. But debate is not their intention. With their hy-perbolic imagery, the goal is to shame wom-en into their theological belief that life be-gins when they say it does. This well-funded and well-scripted organization is trained to

deflect dialogue by turning everything into a question with the ultimate answer always being that abortion is systematic murder with enormously gruesome images to sup-port their claim.

How is a woman to refute this? By tell-ing the truth. I have had three pregnancies. The first resulted in the birth of my son, who is now eight, and the second two I had ter-minated. I am not embarrassed or ashamed by this. They were not the trivial whims of a selfish girl as their propaganda would lead you to believe. I was, and still am, married and in my late twenties, and when I termi-nated my pregnancies I did not agonize over my decision. I knew what was right for me, and I exercised that right.

I share this to bring the issue out of the horror show that “Justice for All” makes of it, for only when we openly discuss our own truthful experiences can any woman make an informed choice. The fact is women have

the right to choose what is best for their re-productive health, but organizations such as this are constantly challenging this right in increasingly insidious ways, and I am dis-gusted that UNM allows this gratuitous dis-play on campus.

I will not quietly walk by and allow these people to tell me that I am a murderer. I know better. I know that what they present are lies. My hope is that all the other women that are forced to walk by and feel shamed and guilty realize that they are not alone. Do not let them humiliate you. You are not a killer and you are not selfish. You are a daughter, a sister, a wife, a student and so much more than these people would allow you to believe. I am not a murderer. I am a mother: a mother by choice, not by force.

Mother criticizes degrading tactics used by Justice for All

LETTERS

In “Anti-abortionists won’t admit to oth-er side of arguments,” published Wednesday, student Lawrence Allen said groups like Jus-tice for All have not adequately considered what their position entails. Readers on Daily-Lobo.com responded:

by ‘thomas’ Posted Wednesday“People, lets get one thing straight, abor-

tion is not the problem. Abortion is nothing more then political wrangling. � e issue is unwanted pregnancy. Prevent the pregnancy and the abortion is a non-issue. Preventing pregnancy can not be legislated or regulated. Abortion can, so it becomes politicized, and battle lines are drawn. And because of this, the Republican Party is all but dead because the proponents of ‘pro-life’ are also the antag-onists for birth control…”

by ‘Diana’ Posted Wednesday“� e only thing that anyone needs to think

about is: Whose child is it? Yes, a man com-mits his seed and, potentially, his name, but whose child is it really? Who goes through nine months of bearing the child and many hours of the most excruciating pain to give birth to the child? � e woman does. She is the one who has to decide whether to keep that child because it is her body and her life on the line. She is the deciding factor and should be the only one to be consulted in the matter. � ings such as rape, getting pregnant when you’re very young and even an accidental pregnancy happen and it should be only the potential mother’s choice and decision. No of-fense guys, but since you can opt out of any re-sponsibility at all, and many men do, I feel you shouldn’t have much, if any, say.”

by ‘Damian’ Posted Wednesday“Anti-abortionists hold up pictures of

third-term abortions because they know that reason is not on their side. If reason were on their side, they would understandably hold up pictures of � rst term — where over 90 percent of abortions occur. � ey appeal to pure emo-tionalism, suspending reason.”

by ‘J.’ Posted Wednesday“Why is it that pro-choice people typical-

ly try to revert the argument back to doctor murders? I hate to break it to you, but bring-ing up the isolated cases of abortionists being murdered is a red herring. Nothing “Justice for All” had on their boards advocated utili-tarian murders of doctors. Of course, it does happen once in a while, most recently the case of George Tiller, but it’s neither on the grand scale Allen would like to believe, nor is it endorsed by the vast majority of the pro-life movement…”

“� e world de� nitely is going to have some challenges ahead, because of global carbon emissions. We need to bring it back down to a safe level,” he said. “� e way that we’re going to do that is through programs like sus-tainability studies.”

Milne said the program is designed to promote environmental conscious-ness among students.

“We’re really trying to get the green stu� out in the world as fast as we could,” he said.

Milne said that, besides o� ering classes, the Sustainability Studies Pro-gram can help students who have an idea for an environmental project.

“When they come forward, and they do come forward, with their own ideas, I really try to help them connect

with resources and people so that they can help make their dreams come true,” he said.

senators have said they support cli-mate change legislation

“� e conditions of the environ-ment are at an extremely critical point,” Bennett said. “To think that we could miss an opportunity as power-ful as passing strong legislation would be catastrophic to the future of the en-tire planet.”

Bennett said the UNM community and the general public need to take a stance on climate change.

“I think that the public com-placency is on account of a lack of

understanding about how serious the issue of global warming is,” she said. “What could be more important that the fate of planet earth?”

Bennett said an overwhelming amount of research has shown how much climate change can a� ect the world, especially through increased global temperatures and rising sea levels.

“People don’t understand it is an apocalyptic scenario, and there are rich powerful people who want to keep it that way,” she said.

their family. Last year 13,000 people lost their jobs in Albuquerque, and we’ve got to help them out.”

Sean DeBuck, president of UNM-PIRG, said Berry should take a strong interest in public school education and education at UNM.

“I de� nitely think that he should be involved, and I hope that he real-izes how important education is in New Mexico,” he said.

DeBuck said Berry should also focus on supporting a green economy and improving public education.

“I didn’t feel that he was strong in issues such as creating green job initiatives and certain programs that would have my support as a cit-izen of Albuquerque,” he said. “I do wish him the best of luck and hope that he realizes the importance of those things such as making sure we become a sustainable city and continuing what support we have for our public schools.”

On his Web site, Berry said gov-ernment accountability is becom-ing increasingly important for com-munities and their constituents.

“� e reason for open govern-ment is simple: Government should not be afraid to shed light on how they spend taxpayer dollars,” Berry said. “Taxpayers deserve to know how government allocates their money and they deserve to know the results achieved through gov-ernment spending. Implementa-tion of a system to make govern-ment more transparent will be a priority of my administration.”

Berry’s administration will at-tempt to create a Web site accessi-ble to citizens and advocate groups to watch government in action and monitor how tax dollars are spent.

Kraye said Berry’s � scal policies will a� ect UNM.

“It indirectly a� ects it because if he runs the city well, the city will make more money. More money gets paid to the State Legislature. � e State Legislature will give the University more money,” he said. “So, it’s an indirect e� ect. I think on an economic level, there’s not a lot he can do but possibly on a moral suasion level. Moral suasion means (through) his personality and how

he does things, he can create more con� dence. If he creates more con-� dence then people who feel more con� dent will be more willing to spend their money.”

Kraye said Berry won because of a � scally conscious wave in public perspective.

“I think this election rea� rms the fact that people are concerned about money and, if economic times were good, Chavez would have been reelected,” he said. “It’s more of a referendum — not on what Martin Chavez did, because he wasn’t a bad mayor — but more of a referendum on people look-ing for � scally conservative politi-cians. One of the things that Ber-ry hit on was to be more � scally conservative.”

Kraye said the constituency is looking for smart spending, and Chavez’s spending policies may have begun to overstep the current economic conditions.

“Chavez is a career politician. We can’t a� ord career politicians,” he said.

Markham said.Authorities in Florida say their

dozens of interviews have revealed a complex web involving the sus-pects and their ties to Byrd Bill-ings, his used car financing busi-ness, gangs, drugs and the Mexican underworld.

A safe taken from the home contained nothing of value, but a second safe that wasn’t stolen had $164,000 in cash, authorities said.

An attorney for the family has said the suspects might have been tar-geting the second safe.

Investigators said Patrick Gon-zalez, 35, the man police have de-scribed as the ringleader, suggest-ed to authorities that a group of car dealers with a grudge against Bill-ings wanted him “whacked.”

On Wednesday, however, Es-cambia County Sheriff David Mor-gan told Winfrey: “The closest

thing that ... could tie their dad to this crime was that he had the mis-fortune, I repeat, misfortune of do-ing some business with some peo-ple that were very bad and that he was not involved in.”

The Billingses adopted 13 spe-cial-needs children and had two biological children each. Nine of the children, all between the ages of 4 and 11, were home when their parents were killed.

Up, up and awayby Chris Quintana

Daily Lobo

October must be here — hot air balloons are � lling the blue sky over Albuquerque.

Most people will take a minute or two to admire the color-ful � oating globes, but few stop long enough to consider how much work goes into every � ight.

Every balloon has a pilot and a chase crew of about � ve to six people who eagerly wake up around 3 a.m. to � ght o� the cold in anticipation of this event.

Ken Tadolini, from Colorado, pilots the Outlaw balloon. Tadolini has been a professional balloonist for 21 years, but has made the trek to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta for 27 years. He said he got involved with ballooning because other sports didn’t hold his interest.

“It’s a unique sport,” Tadolini said. “Nothing else compares to it. It’s a unique feeling being in the balloon. I used to race cars to go real fast, but I � y balloons now and I want to go slow.”

Patsy Buchwald, Tadolini’s crew chief and longtime sweet-heart, was an airline pilot for 30 years. Buchwald said she pre-fers ballooning to other forms of aviation because it involves a sense of family.

“When I owned an airplane or helicopter, I could go o� and � y away by myself,” Buchwald said. “You can do that in bal-looning, but it’s not real practical because how are you going to get back to your chase vehicle? It’s the social aspect.”

Tadolini said ballooning is also the safest form of aviation, considering the number of plane and helicopter crashes. Still,

in the world of ballooning nothing is ever certain.Tadolini said he oversees all pre� ight operations, such as

tying safety knots on the balloon gondola and checking safety gauges.

“We’re called fair weather � yers,” he said. “We � y when the weather is predicted to be good.”

When landing his balloon, Tadolini is generally assisted by other pilots who have landed, and after performing a quick check of his balloon he rushes o� to help other landing balloonists.

Ballooning is safer because of the supportive community: Ev-ery balloonist is willing to help another, Buchwald said.

“It’s like a really big family,” she said. “Tonight we might be mumbling and grumbling about this balloon or that balloon but when you are out here you always go help, without exception.”

Despite the precautions, a lot can still go wrong while � ying. Power lines become invisible in the rising sun, and winds can pick up without warning, making for a rough landing. Tadolini said these problems can be overcome if a pilot is cautious and willing to learn.

“I learn every day,” he said. “Every day that I in� ate, every day that I � y, every day that I am watching the balloons go around, I am watching and learning what’s going on.”

� e balloonist’s safety is also ensured by his chase crew. � e crew unpacks, chases down, and repacks the balloon while help-ing the pilot in any way possible. Buchwald said that often, while she’s chasing Tadolini, she has no idea where he might be.

“I have more fun chasing,” she said. “It should be called hide and go seek.”

Chase crew members Bob and Trudy Logan have worked with

Tadolini and Buchwald for two years now. � ey said they contin-ue to chase despite the hard work.

“It’s fun you meet a lot of people,” Bob said. “We haven’t met a bad ballooner yet.”

Crew members said they also chase because of the feeling of community.

“It’s kind of like when I was young,” Trudy said, “Everybody gets together and has fun.”

Tadolini said that despite the joys of ballooning, the sport has a hard time attracting fresh � iers.

“� e age of balloonists is getting older,” he said. “A few years ago the average age in the � esta was 35. Last year and the year before I heard the age was 53. We � y and enjoy getting the media involved because it helps get our sport out there more to get some younger people into the � eld.”

Still, Buchwald said they try to get people involved with bal-looning by inviting anyone to join the chase crew.

“A lot of us in the industry are working hard to get more peo-ple involved,” she said. “We only need one pilot but we need a lot of crew.”

“The Outlaw” ascends Tuesday at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Listening to Mark Farina is like taking the melody train all over the city of sound.

Farina said his style fuses house beats with hip-hop and acid jazz — and he calls it “mushroom jazz.”

“Acid Jazz started as a kind of English style of funk and hip-hop type of thing in the early 90s and was popular in San Francis-co in the mid 90s,” Farina said. “I thought I would take a more or-ganic approach.”

Farina is the headlining act at Sound Therapy, a show this Satur-day at the Moonlight Lounge.

Farina said the genre’s popular-ity in San Francisco gave him gigs with packed crowds on a weekly basis.

He released the first of a series of six albums titled Mushroom Jazz in 1996.

“Mushroom Jazz became a pop-ular mix tape, as opposed to being more clubby music, it became mu-sic to chill out to after the party or before,” Farina said.

Local funky house disc jock-ey Timm Reynolds, aka Reverend Mitton, said Farina’s style is phe-nomenal and brings in a diverse crowd of music listeners.

“A lot of people get into the Mushroom Jazz series, come to his show, find out that they are also checking out house music, and discover that they are both real-ly similar to each other,” he said. “There are a lot of people that real-ly like him for down-tempo and get into house music later, people that would not normally like house.”

Local DJ John Bowra said Fa-rina appeals to both the hip-hop and house scenes.

“I have a lot of hip-hop friends that know just as much about Mark Farina as my friends who like house,” Bowra said. “He is

definitely respected in both cultures.”

DJ Eldon, a local soulful house DJ, said Farina is unique because he has a variety of influences.

“Mushroom jazz is based on real instrumentation and has an organic feel to the music, as well as an updat-ed version of tri p-hop,” Eldon said. “It utilizes jazz and scat, along with trip-hop and new jazz,” he said.

Farina said when he plays a live show he feels out whether a crowd wants pure house, pure mushroom jazz, or a combination of the two.

“Some cities are more into tem-po changes, some like Chicago want straight house all night,” Farina said. “In places like Albuquerque or Port-land, people expect a half an hour or so of a change of tempo with some down-tempo,”

Farina said he enjoys spinning for several hours at a time.

“I like playing long sets. When I started DJ-ing, I played all night in Chicago, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.,” he said. “After playing long sets for six years or so, it was harder for me to reverse to two hour sets.”

Farina said he is getting ready for a digital/vinyl record label that will be up and running next month. His next installment of the Mushroom Jazz series, Mush-room Jazz 7, will be released in the spring of 2010.

Mark Farina is the musician behind Mushroom Jazz. Farina will perform at the Moonlight Lounge on Saturday.

“Farfesha” is Arabic for “laugh joy-fully,” said Michelle Morrison, founder and owner of Farfesha Belly Dance.

This weekend, Farfesha is hosting a show at the Filling Station to cel-ebrate the differences and similari-ties in Eastern and Western styles of dancing.

“For me, belly dance was kind of a gateway dance, where once I kind of got into it, things like samba, and Bhangra and Bollywood were all the sudden a lot easier,” Morrison said. “I had had western dance training as a child such as ballet and jazz, but it’s a whole different body concept when you get into belly dance.”

Alongside traditional Egyptian-style belly dancing, the show will fea-ture American tribal belly dance, fu-sion belly dance, samba, Bollywood and Bhangra.

Harrison said the Farfesha dance troupe performs at Taj Palace ev-ery month for student salons, which

showcase the talents of the dancers.“(This performance) takes it out of

the bar mentality and puts it on stage,” she said. “We do restaurant shows ev-ery month, but at least once a year we try to do a big stage production just to really let the dance be all that it can be and fill the space.”

Troupe member Evon Harrison said the troupe has input on a lot of the choreography that goes into the show.

“Michelle is our main choreogra-pher, but we try to have a little bit of input on everything,” Harrison said. “An East Indian lady was teaching us the (Bhangra) moves, and it was fun to put it together.”

Morrison said her favorite part about owning a studio is seeing how dance improves her students’ lives.

“I certainly notice that they might come in grumpy or down and they leave feeling better,” she said. “You look in the mirror and think, ‘Oh, this is bad,’ or, ‘that’s fat,’ and by the end of the hour you look at yourself and think ‘Oh, I look good.’”

Debi Hall, another Farfesha danc-er, said dance has had a positive effect on her life and boosts confidence.

“It’s not really expensive and you can just go whenever you want,” she said. “There are women of all shapes, sizes and colors in there.”

Hall said Farfesha also offers classes in hula and flamenco, and those styles work their way into each performance.

“Sometimes we invite them to come and join us in our shows,” she said. “It’s cool because it all kind of melts together. Sometimes the fla-menco arms go with the hips from belly dance and hula. It’s nice because it makes it a variety show.”

Zach Gould / Daily LoboEvon Harrison rehearses a samba piece in preparation for East Meets West at Farfesha Belly Dance Studios on Monday. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the Filling Station.
