Registration is now up for Tuesday night classes with Asharah at the new Saffron Dance in Arlington, Virginia. Classes begin January 8 and run until April 29th (16 Weeks). I'm really excited to be a part of this beautiful studio, which is dedicated to promoting the art and community of belly dance.

Tribal 1: Technique and Drills
7:15pm - 8:15pm
This class has been created for dancers seeking to develop the fundamental posture, alignment, and technique for a broad array of tribal belly dance styles, from American Tribal Style (ATS) to its modern fusions. Technique builds from week to week through structured drilling exercises based on the Suhaila Salimpour format* and ATS (group improvisation) created by Carolena Nericcio and FatChanceBellyDance. 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. No dance experience is necessary.
Tribal 2: Modern Tribal Combinations
8:15pm - 9:30pm
This class builds on technique developed in Saffron Tribal 1 by using more advanced elements of the Suhaila Salimpour and FatChanceBellyDance formats, as well as Asharah's own signature dance vocabulary. This class will work to develop core strength, stamina, isolations, and musical interpretation. Classwork 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. A minimum of 6 months prior experience study with Asharah is required for registration.
*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.
