SHAKRA....
Exploring the Anatomy of Power....
Join Shakra for an extensive dissection of high impact movement to discover empowerment through power moves. Using action-packed movements from specimens such as West African Dance, Bhangra, and their own Transfusion Style, Shakra will show you how to harness personal power and channel that energy to areas of the body where it is needed most.

You will also learn about odd beats such as 5, 7 & 9 and how to create your own rhythms too. This class is for all drums and percussion so bring what you have and is open to all skill levels.....
3:00-5:00....
Asharah....
The Cymbalist Movement: Integrating Finger Cymbals into Your Dance $36.00....
Finger cymbals are an integral part of American Tribal Style bellydance, and can be a lovely accompaniment to a solo performance. However, many dancers often feel daunted by cymbal playing and have been using them less and less… Finger cymbals aren’t scary, and this workshop will help you approach cymbals as an instrument and as a way to enhance your performance. With the right exercises, anyone can play cymbals and dance! Asharah will lead you through an intense warm up, teach drills that layer movements and cymbal playing, introduce common cymbal patterns found in Middle Eastern music, and teach a short dance combination focusing on the playing of your cymbals with the music and your movements.....
3:00-5:00....
Elizabeth Strong....
Strengthening, Layering and Floorwork $36.00....
Have you ever wished that you had more technique at your fingertips to express the rhythms and melody of the music?

Fast and fabulous, flirty and folkloric - learn a new Urban Gypsy signature choreography made just for you and Tribal Alchemy! The ladies of Urban Gypsy have expanded their folkloric dance study to continue to understand and appreciate the diverse cultures of Egypt. All this tribally folkloric goodness has been put together into a dance that will knock you off your feet! Part Ghawazee, with bits of Bedouin, some Saiidi and (of course) lots of good ol' tribal belly dance. In this three hour class, the choreography will be broken down first by technique with attention given to the origination and history of some of the more folkloric movements. Then we will build combinations that can be used within your own solo or troupe work. Finally, the combinations will be pieced together into a fast folkloric-inspired tribal number that will harkens back to the days of the desert and remind you of exactly why you fell in love with the dance!

Re: Tribal Alchemy Oct 16-18, layaway still available
Sun, July 5, 2009 - 8:18 AMHi! Visited your website. Only counted SEVEN (7) classes that you could take (Friday 1-3/3:30-5:30, Sat 10-12/12:30-2:30/3-5 and Sun 10-12/ 12:30-2:30).
Also, any group discounts? Teacher discounts?
Sounds like a great event -- and, your commitment to help DV survivors is especially admirable. Thanks much! Kim
