“Aszmara, an internationally known dancer, provided one of the highlights of the day with an exquisite solo. Using every inch of her eloquent body she clarified
the music in all its depth and richness.”   Reading Times, PA

“There were several vivid solos. ‘Herosi Bar,’ choreographed and performed by Aszmara... began languidly, then grew increasingly intense.”    
Jack Anderson, New York Times

“Aszmara... respected for their high production value and their repertory of dances spanning the Middle Eastern spectrum”    Arabesque Magazine, NY

“... frenzied moments surfaced when Aszmara made full use of theatrical possibilities of the finger-cymbals and swirling chiffon costumes of her own design.”     
The Irish Times, Dublin

“She is the most beautiful... and dances so, that one is first in the story of a Thousand and One Nights.”    Zurich Press, Switzerland

“... a fire red whirlwind is Aszmara. Her artistic movements go beyond this dance.”    Neue Zurcher Zeitung, Switzerland

Camp Location
321 Niles Pond Honesdale, Pennsylvania 18431

LOCATION AND CLIMATE

Camp Cayuga is nestled high in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. Set on a 350 acre wooded estate just outside the village of Honesdale, Camp Cayuga is
less than a 3½ hour drive from New York City and Philadelphia. The Camp itself occupies several hundred acres of unspoiled hardwood and evergreen forest land, embellished
with expansive fields and a natural stream-fed lake. Our lake is private and reserved exclusively for the use of our campers. Similarly, our camp is private and situated so as to
preserve its seclusion. Camp Cayuga’s location in the Pocono Mountains provides warm sunny days and cool crisp nights. The mountain air is clean and dry which is a
welcome change from the hot and humid sea level climates. The area is also low in pollen and not bothered by mosquitoes and other annoying insects. The most outstanding
feature of the site is its natural beauty!

ZA-BETH IS GRAND DAME / DIVA OF THE YEAR                                         
Purely by accident I became a real 60's go-go girl; boots, fringe, and booking agents.  My first go-go club was the New Yorker in downtown Boston.  The shows were full of singers,
dancers of all types, and comedians.  Because of the new era of go-go, I had to learn fast if I expected to be in the shows. It was during this time frame I saw my first bellydancer and
knew it was another form of dance to learn.  My first bellydance lesson was with one of the strippers.  Back then to earn a living you had to dance almost any style.  You never knew
where an agent was going to book you and what type of dancer was needed, so you had to know them all.  You could make a living at traveling as a show girl.  It was show biz and
we were show girls.  You could work six nights a week and actually make a living from it.  Eye lashes were on and off every day.  READ ARTICLE
