<div>How are you? It sounds like you have lots going on, with all of your seminars. I still want to make it up for one! And we have Northern Lights coming up, too - are we still roomies? <br/> <br/>Arab World Fest was down by the Milwaukee Lakefront last weekend - it was great!!!! Souzanne, our newest dance pal, is such a wonderful addition. We came up with a new name for the threesome - Zuleika, so that the duo of Bennu-Bast could keep doing Blues (Ameena, you had a big hand in starting that movement at the Celeb of Women last year!). <br/> <br/>Speaking of Celeb of Women, is that happening this year? I have heard nothing about it</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ameenaahava">Ameena Ahava -JOYful Shimmies Bellydance</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Just a quick shout out to Ameena and Anna for the great Thorp hafla and workshop. The huntress choreo is crazy (in a good way) and it was so fantastic to see Anna again (it's been far to long). Not to mention, it's fabulous to see all the other attendees who I'm finally getting to know (after having attended a few workshops). <br/> <br/>Many thanks for a great workout, fantabulous conversation, eyefulls of inspiration, and an all around raq'n time!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ameenaahava">Ameena Ahava -JOYful Shimmies Bellydance</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Hello Lovely Ladies, <br/> <br/>We've decided we can't wait until February for our next Hafla, and have not only scheduled a Holiday Hafla for fun and relaxation away from the holiday busy-ness, but a workshop as well! Thank you for passing this along to your students and anyone else you know who might be interested. Information is below - join us for one or both!! <br/> <br/>To register for the workshop, either print the attached form (which includes all the information from below) and mail it to me, or e-mail name and phone number to mrstrishch@yahoo.com and make payment via PayPal to mrstrishch@yahoo.com . We are requesting pre-registration because we need a minimum of 10 participents - but registrations are also welcomed the day of the workshop, just come at least 15 minutes early to register. <br/> <br/>Choreography Concepts I <br/>Belly Dance Intensive Workshop <br/>and <br/>Thorp Student Holiday Hafla! <br/>Sunday December 9, 2007 <br/>Workshop: 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. <br/>Hafla: 3:30-7:00 p.m. <br/>Location: Cindy's Hall, 307 N. Washington, Thorp, WI <br/>Cost: Workshop $15; Hafla $5 to help cover hall rental <br/> <br/>Choreography Concepts 1 with Pamela Luedtke: <br/>Explore the beauty and grace of Belly Dance in this beginning/intermediate two hour class. This workshop will deepen your awareness of creating dances through the form of belly dance. Choreography Concepts 1 will focus on movement concepts that are used in teaching the art form of choreography. Individuals will be introduced to ways of structuring and developing movement through a creative process of tapping into the unique expression of personal exploration. The class will also include music awareness and creating drum solos. This class will complement any level of ability and focus on the creative aspect of movement expressed through belly dance. <br/> <br/>About your instructor: <br/>Pamela Luedtke danced professionally in New York City. While in New York she instructed modern dance at Mary Anthony's Dance Studio and taught Movement for Actors at Herbert Berghoff Acting Studio. Pamela is currently instructing dance through out Central Wisconsin and is an Associate Lecturer with the dance department at UWSP. She is the founder and artistic director of Point Dance Ensemble, a non-profit dance company. Pamela is also a certified Brain Gym instructor and a consultant for schools in Wisconsin to assist in curriculum integration of Brain Gym activities. In addition she has been instructing Belly dance in Stevens Point and through out Central Wisconsin for the last eight years. <br/> <br/>Thorp Student Holiday Hafla: (bellydance shopping and henna now available, too!) <br/>Cost is just $5 per person to cover hall rental, and then bring some snacks to share. There will be a cash bar, but we'll provide lemon water as well. Also bring your drums, zills, fave recorded music, etc. <br/> <br/>Our student haflas are for bellydancers and musicians of all skill levels to get together for socializing and dancing (not to mention an opportunity to wear all the pretties we've accumulated). No performances are scheduled or required - though student performances are welcome. Consider this a safe place to try out all those new moves you have been learning in class! Please note: this hafla is for bellydancers and bellydance musicians only-not open to the general public. <br/> <br/> <br/>*JOY*ful Shimmies, <br/>Ameena Ahava <br/> <br/>Tribal Bellydance Class Website: http://discover-net.net/~pachmel/Class.html</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/ameenaahava">Ameena Ahava -JOYful Shimmies Bellydance</a> - 2 replies </div>
