Troupe Women of the Well    (Pictured from L to R    -   June, Krista, Missy)
The troupe was established by June Standfield (Zethera).    The name was selected to represent the village atmosphere of ladies dancing when they happen to gather together.  A second goal for June was to provide to the dancers of the Antelope Valley a common set of dances which they perform at many Community & Bellydance Events.
