<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Saturday:
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>“Classical Egyptian Technique and Combinations” - Take your dancing to the next level with challenging hip technique that will enhance your performance. Focusing on personal style and music interpretation, each dancer will bring out their “dance personality” and put it to use in each dance combination. Special attention to body language and facial expression will take place in this unique class, with exercises to help dancers unleash new ways of interpreting the music.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>"Reaching New Heights” - Bozenka will give each student specialized attention on transitions, execution of movement, aesthetics, and musicality (what Bozenka likes to refer to as (T.E.A.M.). To take your dancing to a higher level, awareness of all these elements is essential. Let Bozenka guide you through exercises (dance combinations) that will help you project better posture, strengthen your articulation of movements and put a spark into every performance. This challenging class will also incorporate improvisation to unleash self-expression and will focus on musicality.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Sunday:
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>“Latin/Arabic Fusion Combinations By Bozenka” - Learn how to put your Salsa, Cha-Cha and more into your belly dancing. This moderately paced class will teach you simple and flavorful combinations to incorporate a Latin dance flare into your own dance routine.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>“Facial Expressions and Body Language” - This is one of Bozenka’s most popular workshops among dancers who are at an advanced level but is encouraged for dancers of all levels. This workshop focuses on the interpretation between Dancer and Music as well as the communication between Dancer and Audience. Bozenka uses creative methods to encourage dancers to interpret the feelings caused by the music and to learn to convey those feelings to the audience. Dancers learn how appropriate body language and using facial expressions take their performance to a higher level. This workshop is recommended for groups of less than 50 participants.</div>

<br/>
<br/>This past Saturday, I had the sincere honor and pleasure of hosting
<br/>Gina of Atlanta here in eastern North Carolina. This was my very first
<br/>event and I am so proud to say it was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!
<br/>
<br/>I just wanted to thank all the wonderful ladies from the local and
<br/>surrounding areas that attend this workshop and made it possible. A
<br/>big thanks to Nadira (Christie Hill) from Greenville for coming and
<br/>bringing all of her fabulous ladies with her, Susan Sutton and Sharon
<br/>Carlton from Wilson, and LuAnn Hooper from Hampstead. And of course,
<br/>all of my dedicated students that came out and supported this event.
<br/>
<br/>I would also like to send out another big thank you to all the awesome
<br/>vendors that came and sold their wonderful wares. We had Sashi of Blue
<br/>Fusion Tribal, the "Llama Mamas" Holly and Nicole with Eye Kandy,
<br/>Grand Bazaar of Wilmington and our very own Jennifer Avila with
<br/>"Beautiful Life" jewelry. The shopping was amazing and I know everyone
<br/>was really happy with all their new goodies!
<br/>
<br/>Gina was amazing and I couldn't have chosen a better person to host a
<br/>workshop with, she was a dream! I know we have all learned a lot and
<br/>have been inspired by her instruction, sheer talent and positive and
<br/>encouraging personality, Gina Raqs!!!
<br/>
<br/>I am looking forward to being apart of many more events here on the
<br/>coast, and this workshop was the perfect way to kick-start the unity
<br/>of bellydance here in eastern North Carolina!!! Thank you again to
<br/>everyone that made this possible!

If you are a professional, volume vendor, please feel free to email jeannie@alchemydanc e.com to get on the waiting list.

</div>MIKIBOW2008-06-04T09:31:13ZSun June 8: Delsarte for Dancers returns to Louisville!Maurahttp://southernbellies.tribe.net/thread/b6c068b3-a09e-401c-a168-57083febf0ce2008-06-02T23:48:43Z2008-05-26T13:31:02Z<div>Samovar Dance LLC presents:
<br/>
<br/>Joe Williams RETURNS to teach the Delsarte System of Expression for Dancers!
<br/>
<br/>Sun, June 8, 1:30 - 4:30 pm $35.00
<br/>Samovar Dance Studio at 300 Distillery Commons
<br/>Louisville KY 40206 (next to Headliners on Lexington Rd)
<br/>
<br/>(Yes! We bring him back because we want to take a workshop from him again!)
<br/>
<br/>What do Morocco of NYC (noted authority on Middle Eastern dance) and the Juillard School in NYC have in common? Both have Joe Williams on their faculty teaching the Delsarte system!
<br/>
<br/>Delsarte gesture & movement principles add emotional depth to your technique & improvisation...improve communication with your audience...and identify movement patterns that are limiting the expressive use of your body. And Joe Williams is THE acknowledged expert on Delsarte!
<br/>
<br/>This workshop will (re)introduce the basics of body language as revealed by Delsarte, describe straightforward but little-known techniques for communicating with your audience, and teach Delsarte exercises that establish the qualities of Beauty, Power and Presence in any dancer. This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for Kentuckiana dancers of all disciplines and skill levels to come to grips with the challenge of dancing what they feel and feeling what they dance. If you are a dancer or a choreographer at any skill level you need to be here!
<br/>
<br/>$35 tuition includes admission to the Shake Your Tail Feathers party that will be held after the event. Joe will be vending a supplementary Practice Guide to students who wish to purchase one.

<br/>=========================================================================
<br/>
<br/>"Joe Williams has single-handedly brought the wonderful principles and authentic teachings of real Delsarte back to life and to us. It's a necessary addition that improves any performing Art and Joe's clear, loving and gentle explanations make it so much easier for any student to grasp and employ for their betterment. He is simply inspiring." -- Morocco
<br/>
<br/>Joe Williams has been successfully reviving interest in the Delsarte acting method with his workshops and seminars since 1997. Joe says: The Three Pillars approach teaches how body, mind, and spirit are not abstract principles but show themselves in every part of your body and every movement you make. Whether your style is Tribal, Fusion, Cabaret or Folkloric, you will see that all dance steps and gestures are various words from the alphabet of those three principals. Delsarte's principles of gesture are a powerful tool for developing body awareness for any number of ends.
<br/>
<br/>The Delsarte method is the historically acknowledged source of the inspirations of Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Dennis, and the entire Dennishawn School (including students Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey). Delsarte's work was praised by some of the greatest minds of the day, from scientists to religious scholars, musicians, and artists. Even renowned yogis mentioned it with the greatest respect. His system is a thorough examination of voice, breath, movement dynamics, line and form in their roles as expressive agents. Contemporary thought might recognize that he had uncovered the world of archetypes and universal symbolism. Unfortunately, the Delsarte system's popularity was its undoing in America. Within the span of twenty years it became a fad and then a frenzy, degenerated into a culture of studied posing, fell into disrepute, and disappeared... ...until Joe Williams decided to revive Delsarte's original system, that is. In the field of Delsarte for Middle Eastern Dance, he is now on the faculty of Morocco and the Casbah Dance Experience and has taught seminars and performed for BellyJam, Stars of the East, and Shakira in Columbus, Ohio. In 2005 he became a member of the faculty of the Dalcroze Institute at the Juilliard School in New York City, marking the first time in recent history that Delsarte has been taught as a valid and practical training method at a major school of fine arts.
<br/>
<br/>Joe Williams, a resident of NYC, has been creating workshops and seminars on Delsarte since 1997. He is on the movement faculty for the Dalcroze Institute at Juilliard, and has been a guest teacher and Artist in Residence for Lori Belilove's Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation in New York. Williams has taught Master Classes for the Dance Department at Iowa State University, Wright State University, Ocean County Performing Arts Academy in NJ, Corporeal arts Inc. and at the Omaha Healing Arts Center. He has taken Delsarte to the Star Island Retreat Center for a week of dance, and used Delsarte to teach body language as a guest lecturer for communication classes at Mercy College, Bronx Community College and the School for Visual Art in Manhattan. An article in Mime Journal's 2005 special edition on Delsarte has brought him international recognition for his work in Delsarte and he has been consultant and teacher for the first scholarly thesis on the subject to be written in France, Francois Delsarte's homeland.
<br/>
<br/>In the field of Middle Eastern Dance (MED) , he is on the faculty of Morocco and the Casbah Dance Experience, and has taught seminars and performed for Bellyjam, Stars of the East, Shakira in Columbus, Ohio, and special appearances with Su'ad and Farasha, in Connecticut, Vermont and New Jersey. Joe's work with Delsarte has been featured in articles in the MED publications WAMEDA (July-August 2000) and Zaghareet! (Sept - Oct 2000). His involvement in MED began in 1985 when Joe joined the Dayton Ethnic Dance Ensemble, which studied historically accurate Middle Eastern dance. In 1986 he began to work on the dance of the Whirling Dervish, which he has been performing consistently since 1994, most notably for the Institute of Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience at Rutgers Universtity and the New School University Diversity Initiative in New York.
<br/>
<br/>A teacher of dance, voice and yoga, Joe has a BA in organizational and interpersonal communications and a minor in theater from Wright State University, where he was the artistic director for the "Rolling Stock" theater group, helping to write and produce touring shows that presented the talents of differently-abled students. He was a scholarship student in ballet at the Dayton Ballet and Dayton Contemporary Dance schools (becoming assistant business manager of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company for one year), and taught communication workshops for the Wright State School of Medicine for 6 years. His performing credentials include dinner theaters in the Midwest, where he danced and sang his way in numerous musicals including "George M", "Fiddler on the Roof," "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," "Phantom," "Annie,"and several holiday reviews. He has also appeared as vocal soloist in oratorios with regional orchestras and with the Upper West Side Opera Association in Manhattan.

Show will start at 9 pm and be followed by fire dance on the patio. Please email me at jaidra@uniqbyjaidra.com if you are interested in performing. Please send performer(s) names, troupe name, song name, song time, and props used as well as any other information that you feel I need to know. We're asking soloists to limit 5 minutes and troupes to limit themselves to 8 minutes. There are a limited number of spaces, and first come, first serve. If you are interested in doing any sort of fire perofrmance, please let me know and we'll discuss safety requirements.
<br/>
<br/>We will be asking for a suggested donation of 2 dollars at the door, half of which will be donated to a local children's charity. We're also hoping to have a drum circle for intermission and maybe after the show, so if you have drums, zills, spoons, or anything else noisy that you would like to bring, the joyful art of making music will be highly encouraged.
<br/>
<br/>Please contact me with any questions, and we hope to see you then!
<br/>Namaste'

<br/>We will learn techniques for solid dance wear designed and

<br/>the tribal bra top, emphasis will be place on building a sturdy
<br/>foundation that you can then decorate to your liking. Sewing
<br/>techniques specific to creating tribal dance costuming will be
<br/>reviewed so that you can sew like a pro.
<br/>
<br/>Tassels of all shapes and sizes for hair, hips, or elsewhere- bring
<br/>a couple links of embroidery floss and we will share colors. Yarn
<br/>will be available for sell or bring some of your own liking.
<br/>
<br/>Belts to fit you and no one else. Custom design your own belt with
<br/>sure fire sewing techniques for rock-hard dance ensembles. You put
<br/>so much time into the costume, let's make sure it lasts.
<br/>
<br/>Materials You Will Need:
<br/>Bring a bra that is a slightly too big in the cup. ¼ yard Fabric of
<br/>your liking, bobbles galore, trims, a little sew kit, and your
<br/>imagination. Sukari will have some specific items for sale at cost
<br/>that are utilized for reinforcing the pieces.

<br/>Aradia will teach technique for beautiful spins and turns, and the transitions to get in and out of each. Combinations will be taught incorporating spins/turns with level changes and layers.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Arms and Hands:
<br/>Beautiful arms and hands are at your fingertips!
<br/>Chandani’s unique practice techniques teach you to layer, frame
<br/>and accent body movements while adding graceful arms to your dance.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Zills:
<br/>Aradia will teach the different zill patterns for Oriental
<br/>and Folkloric dance, technique for tuning your zills,
<br/>and getting different sounds from them, then a short
<br/>choreography will be taught incorporating zills into the dance.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Stage Dynamics for the Multi-level Troupe:
<br/>Utilize and incorporate the different experience levels and skill
<br/>sets of all members of a troupe & student troupe for stage performances. Simple and effective techniques for creating layers of breathtaking eye candy for your audience! While based in Tribal Improv theory, Britt teaches how these techniques can be useful for
<br/>troupes of any genre.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Sword Dancing:
<br/>Learn how to dance with a sword or scimitar! Chandani’s workshop teaches the history and traditions of sword dancing, tricks of the trade, balancing, stances and transitions. Participants need to bring in their own sword or scimitar.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Traveling Steps:
<br/>Learn to glide across the stage with ease, as Aradia teaches many of the beautiful traveling steps from the Lebanese style of dance. Fun and sassy layers will be added, as well as entrances and exits to get you on and off the stage to a Malfouf rhythm.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Intro to Tribal Fusion:
<br/>What is Tribal Fusion? Britt’s concepts, drills, and combos will get you started. This class will cover topics ranging from solos, duets & troupes to the various props, costuming and the musical styles of Tribal Fusion. Some discussion, lots of movement.

<br/>
<br/>I just wanted to clarify the specialty classes for Southern Fusion Fest 2008:
<br/>
<br/>Fatina: Improving Basic Bellydance Technique
<br/>Liora: Zill Technique
<br/>Mardi Love: Fast Moving Technique
<br/>Devyani Dance Co: Advanced Group Dynamics
<br/>Moria Chappell: Tunisian
<br/>Tamalyn Dallal: Mastering Turkish 9/8 Technique
<br/>Tamra-Henna: Drills & Skills for Drum Solos
<br/>Moria Chappell: Fine Tuning
<br/>Gina: Ballet for Bellydancers
<br/>Tamra-henna: Oriental Rhythms Master Class
<br/>
<br/>These specialty classes are small groups classes (less than 15 people) and you spend 2-3 hours working with the instructor of your choice.
<br/>
<br/>Even though yoga is being held in the specialty room in the mornings, it doesn't count as a specialty class so you can take it with a weekend or day pass.
<br/>
<br/>Thanks!
<br/>Liora :)</div>

Would Memorial day weekend be a good thing because of being off work (potentially) or a bad thing (because of family obligations)? Or would the whole Memorial Day thing not factor in at all?</div>

<br/>Food must be pre-ordered by March 13th - you can call, email, or fax your order directly to Dondero's (don't send it to me or Fatina!) and payment is expected at the time of the order. The food will be delivered to the seminar location at no extra charge.
<br/>
<br/>2. Just a reminder - online registration for the Ansuya workshop will end Friday morning. Registration will be an additional $10 at the door, space permitting.

<br/>A great resource to take your dance practice to the next level.
<br/>
<br/>The workshop will be followed by a delightful evening of performance and world music at the BoBo Gallery in Ultra-Hip downtown Asheville. After the show, DJ Pop n Lock Aleikum (aka August of The Mezmer Society) will be spinning insane and festive tunes for the fan of Indonesian HipHop and Eastern European swing.

<br/>Southern Oasis 2008 Workshops!
<br/>
<br/>Saturday, March 8
<br/>
<br/>Denys Proteau: At Southern Oasis 2008 Denys will run a general introductory hand drumming class. Participants may
<br/>also bring other percussion instruments such as tambourine, clave, zills, wooden spoons, etc. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring audio recording gadgets such as tape recorders, mp3 recorders, dictating recorders, or waxed cylinder recorders. Printed handouts will be available. We'll play a variety of listening and rhythm learning games, as well learn and practice new rhythms. Denys will offer his workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Joanie Lamb Hair Salon 720 Broad St Augusta, GA

<br/>Darbuka Dave: The Basics of Working With Dancers - We will cover the universal ways of communicating with dancers, useful for both choreographed and improvised performance. The class is suitable for all students who have at least a basic knowledge of technique, and beginners should expect to be challenged by the quick pace of the class. Dave will offer his workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Joanie Lamb Hair Salon 720 Broad St Augusta, GA
<br/>
<br/>Natalie Brown: Delirium Tribal improv combos. Move, trade places, turn, pose with Delirium Tribal's signature improvisational moves. Use in choreographies or your own brand of tribal improv. Natalie will offer her workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St GA
<br/>
<br/>Ashley Bennett: This workshop will be focused, primarily, on stage presence and fluid motion - with a concentration on arm and hand movements. A certified yoga instructor, Ashley typically begins and ends each workshop with enough yoga to warm up the body to support flexibility, and then slow it down again to prevent aching and soreness for the "morning after." Ashley will offer her workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA.
<br/>
<br/>Alchemy: In this workshop, the emphasis will be on floorwork: toning and building the muscles necessary for safe, strong, and controlled floorwork, introducing new movement to your repertoire, and learning how to incorporate floorwork into improvisational performances for the solo or group dynamic. We will also cover the "no-nos", what to consider to keep your floorwork from devolving into a peep show, and how to comport yourself to best display your strength and mastery to the audience. All of this will be presented in the same lighthearted, safe, accepting atmosphere Alchemy is known for in its classes. So, come prepared for a workout, great information, but most of all come with questions and a smile! All levels welcome! Please bring knees pads or a yoga mat. Alchemy will offer their workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 230PM-430PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA
