Mas-Uda is composed of women of all ages, sizes and walks of life who share a love for Middle Eastern music and dance. By profession we are State workers, schoolteachers, students, health care workers and others. We are a strong group of women who enjoy the sisterhood and positive female energy that belly dance offers.

Halima and Gilana's Spooktacular (on Halloween) in Tacoma is going to be the best ever!!! :)
My wriggling brain child is nearly ready. Mwahahahahahahaha. And then I will shout, 'It's Alive!!!!" or, perhaps it would be better to shout, "It's Undead!!!!"
Evening at the Oasis was fantabulous!! I can't wait until next year. I'm so happy I didn't explode/die/fall over/disintegrate. I hope Aleedra's "Shimmy Happens" goes well too!
Hi Mas Uda, I'm DJ Mike~iLL. I've been a successful DJ in the hip-hop scene for a while now. Spinning from San-Fransisco to Seattle at some the hottest fuckin' clubs, house parties, and underground battles. Now I'm branching out to a new environment and a new Music.
The Electronic dance scene!
As much as business has steered me away from this, I've always wanted to do it. I've DJ'd at a few Electronic/Visual scenes and had an amazing time. N' I need your local support to continue, here in Seattle. So get on my page and listen to my variety of Genre's and show some muh'fuckin love.
P.S I guarantee you'll love atleast one of my latest mixes. So add it to your profile. (For bookings email me at mk_e_tha_mon@hotmail.com)
