   The Gilded Serpent presents...Second 
          Annual Giza Academy Awardsby Amina Goodyear
 The Second Annual Giza Academy Awards of Middle Eastern Dance Videos 
          was presented by The Giza Club on Sunday, December 6, 1998.
 The Giza Club is a non-profit cultural organization devoted to the study 
          and understanding of the Middle East. In the bimonthly meetings various 
          subjects regarding the Middle East are discussed and key or expert people 
          in that area present either lectures, slides, videos or lead discussions. 
          The people who have participated read like a Who's Who of Middle Eastern 
          culture: travelers, doctors, teachers, anthropologists, musicologists 
          and, of course, dancers. Events may be formal, featuring lectures on 
          music, dance, literature, food -- even fashion and everyday life and 
          Middle Eastern film festivals, including and especially The Giza Academy 
          Awards of Middle Eastern Dance videos. There are also field trips, potluck 
          parties and The Giza Cabaret, where dancers and musicians are provided 
          performance opportunities.
 All the judges were either members of the Giza Club or had spoken or 
          made a presentation for the Club. All of the judges view all of the 
          tapes in their entirety in all of the categories. They keep an open 
          mind. No political or dance preferences are allowed, nor are any prizes 
          given for most money spent; however, the videos do have to be clear 
          and well thought out...click to continue
