Class question

2008-07-01T00:22:53Z

I just moved back to Huntsville after being gone for a few years. I took bellydance classes and performed twice (class choreographies) in Orlando with Suspira (www.orlandobellydance.com). I want to get back into classes up here now that we're getting settled, but I'm not sure what class(es) to go to. Suspira offered levels 1, 2, 3, 4, and Master class. After level 3 students had the option to audition for her student or professional troupes. I was in the middle of level 4 when I moved a few weeks ago, but I didn't audition because I couldn't have been in any of the troupes anyway. Also, I am about 12 weeks pregnant, so I wanted to see whether and for how long you allow pregnant dancers in your classes.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

(Semi-)professional opportunities?

2008-04-14T15:21:37Z

Hi all,

I'm moving back to Huntsville this summer (yay!), and I'm curious what kind of professional (even sporadic) opportunities there are to bellydance in town. I grew up in Huntsville but bellydance didn't even cross my radar until a few years into my time living in Orlando while my husband finishes grad school. I've been taking classes and have gotten to the level where I could audition for either student or professional troupes with my current teacher (Suspira), but since I'm moving I can't do a "real" audition. Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because I would really like to perform often, and sometimes professionally, and I've found a good price on a used Turkish costume I'm thinking about buying with some of Uncle Sam's stimulus package, but I'm not sure whether it would be a better investment to save that money for workshops, music, etc. Any thoughts?

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone in the Huntsville bellydance community!!

Hoop workshop at the studio, January 12

2008-01-14T00:10:01Z

Hooping 101

Hooping is a fun way to boost stamina, metabolism, and weight loss. Hooping is way more fun than the hula hooping you remember as a child, because the bigger and heavier the hoop, the slower it rotates around your body (making it easier for people of all shapes, sizes, and ages to do it).

About me:
After 6 years of solo belly dance and in desperate need of new inspiration, I turned to hula hooping. I was almost 200 lbs and depressed with hubby being gone to Iraq for a year. I had recently added Hoop girl (Christabel Zamor) to my friends list in Tribe.net and decided to check her out. I was floored at how cool and fun it looked. So I preceded to go to wal-mart and buy a kids hoop to try out. After learning the basic rotation and traveling, I realized I needed a better hoop, because I was hooked and wanted to learn more. So I bought a bigger, slightly heavier, easier hoop from hoopshine.com and looked up tricks and moves from hooping.org and youtube. I began to learn more and more tricks, some out of accident but it worked. Three to four months later I found myself 40 lbs lighter and inspired. Here I bring it to you to try. Smile and have fun!

Schedule:
8:00 am- 9:30 am Registration/shopping
9:30am -11:00 am Getting started
-Getting acquainted with your hoop (warm-up rotations)
-Easier, effortless ways to the basic rotation
-Traveling with the hoop
-Learning Basic Tricks: Beam me up, booty bump, shoulder isolation and easy hand isolation.

11:00am-12:30pm Lunch
12:30-2:30 Review of basic tricks
-Hoopercize (take a hoop, add some dance, add some exercise, and have a whole lot of fun!)

7:00-Hoopla! (Hoop Hafla)

Costs:
$20 for workshop
$30 workshop package (includes a hoop to take home)

There will be enough hoops for everyone to use as well as for sale. All you need to bring is comfy clothes, your best pair of tennis shoes, an open mind, and a smile.

We're gonna have BOZ!!!!!

2007-12-18T15:27:43Z

Jim Boz is coming to Huntsville, AL!!!!!!! The Beledi Club of Huntsville will host the wonderful Boz July 18-20, 2008. All the details aren’t on the Beledi Club’s website yet, but here’s what we have so far:

• Hafla Friday night either at the hotel of choice or The Studio … possibly wandering to my favorite local gay bar just to amuse Jim and show him off to my friends there.
• Four hours of classes with Jim on Saturday that will be decided upon at the Club’s January meeting. Check out Beledi Club of Huntsville’s Tribe for a listing of what our options are. http://tribes.tribe.net/belediclub and to keep up to date on our progress with planning this event.
• A few specially chosen vendors … we have invited Faye and Bipin (who just so happen to be friends of Jim’s), plus Linda (local Beledi Club Member) and Belilah (Beledi Club member) who will be selling Eye Kandy!
• Show Saturday night at the American Legion which will be a benefit for the local ASPCA, a charity near and dear to the Bozman’s heart. There will be a cash bar and a simple menu available to order from (things like burgers, chicken fingers, fries, pizza, etc). We’re considering having a silent auction or something of the sort to help get money for the ASPCA. The Legion gives us this location for free since we do charity shows, so big kudos to them. Tickets to the show will be $10 each or included in your price if you pay for the workshop by the Early Bird deadline (June 1). Performers aren’t expected to pay for the show, but are asked to make a $5 charitable donation.
• Three hours of classes on Sunday will be a bit more advanced than that offered on Saturday, but not beyond anyone who survives the previous 4 hours with Jim.
• Prices are going to be great! The Early Bird Price offered is $125 if paid for by June first. This includes your ticket to the show and 7 hours of class with Jim. After June 1st, the price changes to $150. A single day of classes will be $75 if paid for before June 1st or $80 at the door.
• We’re working on getting pricing for hotel rooms, but that’s still in the works …
• Put this one on your calendar – you’ll kick yourself if you miss it!!!!!

Costuming & makeup & pictures -- OH MY!

2007-05-11T18:13:57Z

I'm trying to hit all the local folks for reminders that Saturday May 19th at 5pm The Studio in Huntsville, AL will sponsor a workshop on costuming, hair, & makeup with a photo session combined for a great night of fun! This is especially geared towards students who need some ideas on how to mix and match costumes and learn to get their faces on for performances. Lots of discussion time with local costumers, teachers, and freakie people. Healthy (and not so healthy) munchies will be there for keeping the tummy happy! You need to bring your own drinks beyond the usual water --alcohol IS allowed in The Studio! We will have handouts on websites we enjoy using as well as makeup info, eBAy vendors, and patterns. Come with the lists of ideas you want to discuss and your favorite costuming. We can teach you how to adjust things that don't fit, decorate bras that need tribaling up, and make your face shine for the camera. Don't stress if you don't have much costuming --- we clothes horses will bring our stuff to share as well as some people selling their wares for those of you who could use some harem pants, a belt, or some more mascara. All this fun for only $15 and you'll get a cd of your pics to take home for your own website, tribe profile, or to share with your family.

Henna Workshop

2007-02-20T17:24:15Z

This Saturday at The Studio in Huntsville, Alabama, The Naughties are sponsoring a henna workshop with Heather Foster. Heather is an amazing henna artist who originally did the design I have on the back of my neck in the palm of my hand in henna. I fell in love with it and had to make it part of me permanently, so this explains why I am so crazy about her. Plus, she's an amazingly cool chickie/dancer/friend! Heather will be at The Studio from 1-4pm teaching the history, safety, and application of henna with an after party for video watching! You will receive 2 cones of henna (one for playing in class & another for taking home to get more practice), handouts of designs & how-to instructions to help you remember the stuff she teaches, and a design of your choice from the sheets she brings done on your hand all for just $25 prepaid or $30 at the door. If you want more henna work done, Heather will be available after the class to do more work during the video/dance hafla. Also, Heather will have extra cones for sale to those of you who just can't wait to henna everyone in the house (be nice to your animals!). The hafla is to be potluck, so bring along any munchies you want to share and/or pillows for lounging while watching the videos. Bring any interesting videos of shows you'd like to share with us. It's going to be loads of fun -- hope to see you there!

Roaring Twenties Hafla!

2007-01-11T15:45:05Z

Jump in your jalopy with your Bee's Knees to the joint affectionately
called "The Studio" (to be renamed as "The Studio 21 Speakeasy" for the
evening of January 13, 2007) at 1219C Jordan Lane, Huntsville, AL. If you
need directions, ask the local Drugstore Cowboy - Dave. Be there 6:30 pm
to whenever the cops bust up the joint. Yes indeed, the Butlers are
hosting a PARTY! Celebrating 1920's style. So, playing by 1920's rules,
here's part some background info.

Yes, we are enforcing Prohibition Area rules – the Dry Decade as it was
also called – for the bluenoses. But, since F. Scott Fitzgerald did use
bathtub gin for the ceremonies and christened it the Jazz Age, we will be
celebrating the Roaring Twenties with music, food, and drinks of the
times. Classic parlor games will be played – but if gambling gives you the
heebie-jeebies, stay home. Roulette, Blackjack, Bunko and Poker will be
prevalent along with the giggle water and hooch.

Flappers, Lounge Lizards, Molls, Sheiks and Shebas are welcomed. Known
Torpedo’s will be asked to scram. Hoofers are welcome to entertain! And it
wouldn’t be a party unless someone got pinched. Hopefully, everyone will
whoopee over this party!

Ah applesauce!...you need a password to get in or you will be asked to
scram. Check the local paper this Friday and Saturday (or for you
futuristic people, the website) to desperately find what you are looking
for! :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclaimer (and the 20's slang words are not prevelant in the disclaimer):
This is not a Beledi Club organized event. You do not have to be a club
member to participate in this event. This was supposed to be just a
party, and Dave and I tagged along and took over the hafla that would have
occured after the Artemis workshop (also not a Beledi Club organized
event) that is being held at The Studio this weekend. Since it is a
party, this is a party invitation, not a call for help. However, if you
would like to bring a dish or drink to share, that would be great! If you
would like to help man or play the parlor games, that would be wonderful!
And if you can help set-up or especially clean up, that would be
EXCELLENT! But, most of all, come out - dressed to the gills - and
enjoy! You do not have to be dressed in 20's era clothing, but several of
us are getting into the spirit of the event and will be dressed somewhat
appropriately. And, you still need the password to get in. :) Feel free
to pass along the invite to people that may be interested that I forgot in
this email batch...or bring them along with you to the party!

Workshop Topics: Viktoria

2007-01-10T14:13:03Z

As promised at the meeting, here is a list of the workshop topics taught by Viktoriya and the link to her website. I have sent this out to the club email list, but I want it posted here so that FOB's (Friends of Beledi) can have some input too. I contacted Rhyolyn, a former student of Viktoriya's for recommendations, and she said that Viktoriya is fabulous at improv, so Rose's suggestion of the Freestyle BellyDance workshop on Sunday would be a good idea. She especially enjoys Viktoriya's drum solos and Gypsy dances. Note, the Gypsy is more of a fantasy Gypsy style than the traditional Rom style that we learned from Artemis, but Rhyolyn says it is still beautiful. Music interpretation and creating a dance character are also among Viktoriya's skills. Everybody, take a look at the list and post what you like and are interested in learning. The workshop timeframe is the 3rd weekend in August.

Dances Taught:
Egyptian and Lebanese:
Traditional, Modern & Folkloric
Drum Solo
Khaleegy
Baladi
Saidi
Persian
Gypsy
Fusion
Pop
Stage Presence
Freestyle Belly Dance
Choreography

Whirling Dervishes coming to Huntsville - Feb 15

2007-01-04T17:43:06Z

I sent this to the distribution list as well, but it's not being sent out fast enough for me...anyhow, I was looking at upcoming events at the VBC and came across this:

Peace Valley Foundation Presents Whirling Dervishes of Rumi February 15,
2007 at 7:30pm in the Concert Hall. All seats are reserved for $35, $25,
$20, & $15. Students with ID can receive a $10 discount on the $20 tickets
and a $5 discount on the $15 tickets at the Box Office. Tickets are
available at the VBC Box Office, www.ticketmaster.com, by phone at 800-277-
1700 and all Ticketmaster outlets.

I want to go! It's on a Thursday night. I was going to check to see if
any of my students wanted to go and make it a big gathering. If you are
interested in tagging along and sitting with a big group, let me know how
many tickets you would like. I'm going to find out if there is a group
discount ticket price. Since it's at the Concert Hall, I'm assuming that
the $20 and $15 seats are in the balcony. I don't mind the balcony, but
if I can get a decent block and discount with the $25 seating, I'm going
to try for that.

This should be a rather fascinating show to watch! I'm looking forward to
it!

Take care!
Liz

So, what are your New Years plans?

Hubby and I are actually going to try to attend the Huntsville Symphony Pop Concert that evening - going to hear New Orleans Jazz (I think that is what was on the schedule).

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and got most of their presents...and hope to see you in a Happier New Year!

Kassar is coming!

2006-10-27T13:16:03Z

Yeah, we've managed it. Mel and Karin of Kassar fame will be in Huntsville, AL November 18-19 to make us sweat, courtesy of The Naughty Nomads. The workshop wil be held at The Studio located at 1219 C Jordan Lane which is on the corner of Jordan Lane and Commercial Drive in the Penny Plaza across from Chuck E. Cheese. That Saturday will be partnering choreography and Sunday will be partnering with floorwork. Each day will offer 3 hours of classes starting at 11am with an hour for lunch starting at 12:30. Don't miss this one --- getting these chickies here from New Jersey is NOT an easy task! And while you're here you can attend the Third Annual Shahala's Toys for Tots Show which Kassar will be performing in. Come on and join us --- you could even be in the show and be able to claim that you danced on the same stage as Kassar! The price is only $75 for both days or $40 for one day as long as you pay before the day of the workshop. It will be $90 at the door for both days or $45 for one day. That's a great price for these two gloriously wonderful dance teachers!

Our studio is located at 1219C Jordan Lane which is on the corner of Jordan Lane & Commercial Drive in Penny Plaza. We are catty corner from Chuck E. Cheese, a small children's birthday hell. Come on over and join us for a day of great dancing with all of our wonderful friends. Did I mention that Nichole is bringing Anne, her partner in crime? Yeah, you'll get two teachers for the price of one: $30 before October 15th midnight, $40 at the door., so join us, why don't ya?

Just a reminder - the Beledi Club will meet tonight at the Studio, at 6:30 pm. Since there is still rehearsal scheduled for after the meeting, we will try to make it quick and over by 7:30. Afterward, I am planning to go over to Sitar for food and conversation, so I hope someone will join me so that I don't have to talk to myself! Our main topic tonight will be the workshop, show and hafla. If you haven't told Linda what you're bringing for the hafla, please be prepared to let her know tonight.

Pre-registration is today! Postmarked by today or bring it to the meeting tonight.

See you all there!

ABOUT PETITE JAMILLA:
Bellydance Superstars youngest member Petite Jamilla, as pictured on the cover of “Live at the Follies Bergere” DVD has been touring with the Bellydance Superstars since January of 2004. Performing the celestial and inspiring double veil as a featured part of the show, is just a fraction of what this talented dancer has to offer. Since she was 17, Petite Jamilla has been teaching workshops that range from Zill Techniques with Modern Incorporations, Choreographed Fusion Drum Solo’s, and Spinning Introductions with Double Veil “How To’s.” By the age of 20, she had produced 2 instructional DVD’s [Beginner’s Dance Movements, and Secrets of the Double Veil] available for purchase through www.bohemianmarket.com. Cross-Cultural Fusions are a passionate focus for this dancer as her Irish/Native American ethnicity became the incentive to further explore and push the boundaries of fusion in dance. With training in Bellydance (taught by her mother, Jamilla Rasa), Polynesian, Scottish Highland, Modern Irish, and Cape Breton Step Dancing her unique blend began an unclassifiable style. Dually equipped as a classically trained musician in Western style compositions and Scottish/Irish blends - it was, of all things, the Highland Bagpipes that showcased Petite Jamilla’s talent for the critically acclaimed Rod Stewart in February of 2000.

Zi'ah @ The Studio in HUntsville, AL

2006-06-13T19:34:22Z

This Saturday at 10 am Zi'ah Ali of Awalim will rock the house! Bellydance Bootcamp starts at 10 after The Studio (1219C Jordan Lane across from Chuck. E. Cheese) opens the door for registration, warming up, and friendly hellos around 9am. We will break at noon for lunch, then return at 1:30pm for the sword workshop. Workshop is $50 or $25 for one class at the door. Sword workshop doesn't have as many open slots as space is limited for use of sharp pointy things. You DON'T want to miss this! Zi'ah is spectacular! She was nominated in Zaghareet for best workshop/coordinator of 2006. She is also the teacher of Moria, one of the most luscious tribal chickies in Bellydance Super Stars. A hafla will follow at 7pm and last until Lisa and I decide we need to collapse. Hafla is open to all with either food donation or $5 studio donation per person taken at the door. BYOB, of course, and children are very welcome(and not charged donations for) as we will have quite a few lovely tribal babies to watch dance. Music will play throughout the night with a performance by Zi'ah and Rosario. If you have anything you'd like to dance to or would like to show a new choreography you are working on, you are more than welcome to share with us. Come enjoy a day with the Naughties!

Open dance night at Starbuck's

2006-05-30T15:24:37Z

. . . will not be happening. Corporate management gave it a "no-go". Apparently bellydancing is not the "type of entertainment they want in their establishment". Local management and employees were supportive and excited about our dance night; they had us on the calendar inside and everything.

This is so 20 years ago. sigh. I thought we were past that, dancing at Panoply. Suddenly I find that Starbuck's coffee is way too expensive, anyway.

at
Global Education Center – 4822 Charlotte Avenue

Saturday student showcase – 8:00 pm

The Global Education Center is proud to welcome back Ariel Norwood, who will be teaching two special Egyptian dance workshops for area students.

Workshop Schedule
Saturday, June 10
Workshop I 10:00 am – 12:30 pm Professional Polish and Technique
A class for all levels! This workshop will include an in-depth warm-up, technique training through dance rather than drills, with a focus on expression through arms and more. We will also cover professional topics – NYC advice for pro’s and those aspiring to become pro’s. Q & A encouraged.
Workshop II 1:30 pm – 4:00 pm Egyptian Style Choreography
Put what you know and what you learned in Workshop I to good use. This class is best suited for intermediate to advanced/professional dancers, although beginning students are welcome. The choreography will focus on expression, layering and solid Egyptian style techniques (both modern and classic). We will also focus on use of stage space, alternate staging possibilities for the choreography and how to approach your audience. This is usable choreography for almost any event. Music is included in workshop fee. Although you do not have to take Workshop I in order to take Workshop II, it is recommended that you do so.
Workshop Fees
$45 for one workshop; $75 for both

First Annual Workshop @ The Studio

2006-05-25T15:09:57Z

We've been dancing in our lovely home now for a year and we want to invite all of our wonderful friends to join us in the celebration. Zi'ah Ali of Awalim in Atlanta is coming to Huntsville, Alabama to teach an intensive one day workshop on June 17. We will start at 10 am with Bellydance Bootcamp for 2 hours and return at 1:30 after our lunch break for 2 hours of sword work. Space in classes is limited due to the size of The Studio and the work with swords in the afternoon. The whole day will cost $40 if paid before June 1, after that the price will be $50. Yes, you CAN take just one class, but remember that the space is limited for sword. Before June 1 single class is $20, afterwards it will be $25. There will be a hafla at 7pm after classes. Please join us in classes with this lovely lady! Just a hint for those of you who don't know her ... Zi'ah taught Moriah of the Bellydance Superstars!

Collaborative Dance

2006-05-02T03:26:05Z

Okay, I am working on a choreography, possibly for the July workshop. It is designed to be a group dance and may or may not involve some veil work. It is a fusion of bellydance, modern, yoga, and ballet. Maybe I should just call it a fusion piece period. Anyway, if you are interested in performing it in July and doing the rehearsing and collaboration involved to make it possible, let me know.

Daytime club rehearsals

2006-05-02T03:22:54Z

Okay, I propose to have daytime club dance rehearsals. Miki has offered the Studio. The only thing going on during the day during the week is Safiye's Tuesday class from 10:15 to 11:15am. I have also checked into some other locations, if The Studio isn't convinient for everyone for some reason.

I am free during the day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Lunch time classes are an option so that those who work during the day could come for half an hour or forty five minutes of rehearsal.

10:45-11:45am on Wednesday would work best for me. My baby has usually had it at the end of the Tuesday class and is ready for a nap, so anything much past 11:30 is pushing it.

Please post your ideas if you are interested.

Panoply Questions

So, did we ever find out if we are performing on Sunday? Does anyone know where we get our day passes or do we need to purchase them? Is there a special place that we are supposed to park? Will Safiye and I be able to bring in the swords for the sword dance?

Goodness, I'm getting a little worried just looking at all the questions. They didn't seem that stressfull in my head. Maybe I should've kept them there!

30th Anniversary T-Shirt Design Contest

2006-03-29T00:05:17Z

Hey everyone!

This is our 30th Anniversary and we would like to honor it with a t-shirt. I had proposed in the meeting last night to have a design contest for the t-shirt. It was accepted. We are going to use CafePress to make the t-shirts (or anything else that you can get there, like bags, notebooks, etc). The deadline for the proposal design is March 18 - to give us time to post the entries and make the voting decision at the next meeting.

It would be nice to have the following on the design - Beledi Club, 30th Anniversary
Colors are greatly acceptable since CafePress accepts colors. If you can, look at the CafePress website for details on what their requirements are for the "pictures" to be placed on the t-shirts. Note - design for white t-shirts only. I know that CafePress used to have some black t-shirts in their inventory, but let's just focus on putting this on the white shirts.

Another thing to keep in mind is that we can still tie-dye the t-shirts. I've done that before on our 25th Anniversary shirts - so if you want to make a simple design to accomodate a tie-dye look, that would be fine.

Multiple entries are also acceptable, but the deadline is March 18.

Thanks!

(On another note: I forgot to ask what the winner of the contest would get other than we pick their design. I will be proposing that the winner gets a t-shirt as well as credit for their work. Thanks again!)

Costume Help

2006-03-17T22:41:04Z

I am trying to get my act together to have my picture taken tomorrow. (OK, major stress event - I need the pictures but I hate having my picture taken. I always come out looking like me instead of a gorgeous, exotic bellydancer! Me looks old, tired, and worried about something.) I wanted to wear my lone professional costume, the turquoise bra & belt. I have lost almost 20 lbs. since I bought the thing, and I may just have to sell it because I can't get the bra to fit. I have shortened the strap that holds the cups together in the middle, adjusted the shoulder straps, and tightened the chest straps, but it is still not tight enough around to stay put, and is riding up in the back. Any suggestions? I thought I'd move the back hooks over some more, but why does it still ride up? Do I just need to attach it to a body stocking to keep it in place?

P.S. I'm also thinking that I'll get a better website than the geocities one. I can't get safiye.com, though (shoulda changed my name a long time ago, but now I'm stuck.). I gotta come up with a name, though. ACK!

There are also going to be BDSS workshops as well - Sonia, Issam, and Bozenka will be in Nashville that weekend and a Jillina workshop is in the works for Birmingham at that time.

I'm not sure I'll be doing any of the workshops...but I am interested in going to the Birmingham show if anyone in interested in catching a ride.

Bellydance Day

2006-02-02T17:07:39Z

Wow! It is so quiet around here! Is everybody getting ready for Bellydance Day? Rooting through your stuff for the flea market? Hopefully we will get some good publicity on this one and have a great turn-out. One more thing - any plans for dinner afterwards? Since it ends at five, once we get it all cleaned up, I for one will be hungry. And willing to desert my family to leftovers, too. ;-) Anybody else?

The Studio

2006-01-20T14:44:56Z

I have asked Danielle if she would like to teach for the time frame she that is here each year. She has much to offer as a teacher. She has not informed me as to which day or hours I offered her. It could be on Monday nights which could affect Beledi Club rehearsals but I don't know yet. I do need to fill as many as the studio's hours with money coming in. I will always make free hours available to Beledi Club rehearsals. We all need to remain flexible. You have to understand that in a dance studio the prime time for classes is 5:30 to 8:30 Mon thru Thursday. We have already switched some hours at the studio and some rearranging will happen from time to time. Sorry for the confusion but I need to take care of the business also. I will let Beledi club members know of any changes that would affect the monday night rehearsal slot. Thanks, Lisa

Costuming Help

2006-01-19T01:22:02Z

Okay, so I am home with my Mama and baby Rose in Kentucky. I have lots of time and ideas for new bellydance costumes. I would like to know the opinion of club members for what would be considered "must have" costume pieces. What would YOU consider to be a basic bellydance costume wardrobe? Then I can have a better understanding of what to spend my time on while I am in Kentucky. Right now, I'm contemplating a hot pink sequin bra and belt set...chest scar or no chest scar! My mama says I wear too many clothes when I dance anyway. HA!

Bellydance Day idea

2006-01-17T17:04:44Z

I think it would be fun to take people from the "audience" and do bellydance make-overs. People could enter the drawing as they come in the door if they're interested. We could make the winners part of the fashion show. What do you think? We might get a few new faces to join the club and take classes this way.
