Greetings everyone! Starting in September, I'll be teaching new class sessions at both Joy of Motion (Atlas studio) and Saffron Dance! Hope to see some of you there!
Tuesday Nights
Joy of Motion Atlas Arts Center. 1333 H St NE, Washington, DC.
~Tribal Belly Dance: 7:30pm – 8:30pm. Please bring finger cymbals (aka zills/sagat)~
$195 for 13 weeks. Session begins September 15, 2009
Register at: www.joyofmotion.org/adult_schedules.php
Emphasizing the development of a strong overall Tribal dance discipline, the class will focus on various tribal styles and influences with a special emphasis on the Suhaila Salimpour and Jamila Salimpour technique. The class will focus on core strength, isolations, musical interpretation, and improvisation. Alongside the breakdown and drilling of movements, we will create a comfortable and challenging space to move with intuition and expression. Special attention will be placed on each student’s level and learning style. Students will also explore the historical context and development of Tribal Belly Dance through videos and handouts. Finger cymbals will be introduced. For more what makes tribal style unique, visit www.tribalbellydance.org

~Tribal 2: 6:15pm – 7:15pm, $225 for 14 weeks~
Technique builds from week to week through structured drilling exercises based on the Suhaila Salimpour format.* Students will also develop strong posture, arm positions, hip work, torso isolations, and basic foot patterns specific to the tribal style. This class follows an organized approach to building the basic elements of tribal and is perfect for students who have never been exposed to tribal belly dance. *Asharah is not an official instructor for the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance, but Suhaila Salimpour has given permission for Asharah to use the Suhaila Salimpour format in her classes.
~Modern Tribal Performance Class: 7:15pm – 8:15pm. $250 for 14 weeks~
The Performance Class Workshop series offers students the opportunity to participate in developing and refining group choreography for a stage performance. Choreographies are created using the movements from their corresponding Technique and Drills classes. Performance Class Workshops will feature each class’s choreography in Winter Dance Concert at Signature Theater on Saturday, December 13. Students enrolled in a Performance Class Workshop are required to be concurrently enrolled in a Saffron Technique and Drills class.
~Tribal 3 (Technique): 8:15pm – 9:15pm. $225 for 14 weeks~
**Finger cymbals are REQUIRED. Please being your cymbals to class every week.
This class builds on technique developed in Saffron Tribal 1 & 2 by using more advanced elements of the Suhaila Salimpour and Fat Chance Belly Dance formats, as well as Asharah’s own signature dance vocabulary. This class will work to develop core strength, stamina, isolations, and musical interpretation. Class work emphasizes the breakdown and drilling of each element. Students will incorporate technique and movement into traveling and combinations with a focus on execution and precision.
