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!

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 Join our MEDLS YAHOO GROUP.
