BolderBOULDER 10K
The BolderBOULDER 10K was founded in 1979 as a small, local 10K, and since has grown to be one of the world’s largest and most respected community running events. In the various waves you’ll find everything from serious world class athletes competing for the best times and notoriety to folks joining in for the celebratory and fun nature of this race dressed in outlandish garb and costumes! With the festival like energy, entertainment along the whole route, including Elvis Presley impersonators, artists, performers and yours truly, Tribe Nawaar, Desert Rain & friends, there’s something for everyone in this 10k!
For Monday’s Memorial Day BolderBOULDER 10K we’ll be dancing, drumming and making merriment on ‘Belly Dance Hill’ near the intersection of Folsom and Valmont. The streets along the race close at 6am for the Memorial Day run, so, if you aren’t running in the race and are just coming to have fun with your tribal belly dance peeps be sure to plan accordingly.
-Location: Belly Dance Hill is just south of the intersection of Folsom & Valmont. Check out the BB page on transportation and race route.

Creek Festival Performance Note: Our time slot has been changed to start at 2pm (instead of 2:15pm). If you are coming to watch us perform, plan to get there even earlier as these times are fluid and we could go on a bit earlier (or later).. See you in about a month!
Boulder Creek Events’ BCF does a great job celebrating dance arts with their Community Stage! We know of many people who once a year come from all around Colorado just to see the performances (and then stay for the great food, fun and shopping!). This is a not to be missed festival, for sure! Tribe Nawaar is thrilled to be back and can’t wait to share our latest works. Happy International Dance Day!
btw: I’ll post the full performance lineup tomorrow afternoon in the Facebook event 🙂
What a great weekend! I couldn’t be prouder of all the hard work my students and troupe put into making this set at the Boulder Creek Festival as fantastic as it was.
It was crazy hot during the show and although they were wearing over 50 yards of clothes and near heat exhaustion, you couldn’t tell thru the radiant smiles and energetic dancing! Way to go crew!!
