<br/>
<br/>I wanted to post information on this tribe about an upcoming event some of you might be interested in:
<br/>
<br/>www.treemangathering.com
<br/>
<br/>There will be lots of fantastic music, workshops, and wonderful people to meet. I am hoping to have a bellydance workshop, and also would love to have some people participate in the dance area in front of the stage. There will also be traditional African Dance workshops, druming & didge workshops, and hopefully even some poi (spinning).
<br/>
<br/>If you have never been to Ithaca, here is a YouTube video showing the amazing location this festival will be held:
<br/>

<br/>
<br/>I hope to see some of you there, please drop me a message if you have any questions, or come visit the TMG tribe site. Take care!

</div>clarinetcat2008-06-21T22:53:06Zbelly dance bra and elt for salebellydancecostumesbytchttp://tribes.tribe.net/bellydancebulletinboard/thread/7a449846-b0f6-4047-85c7-a0ea71348bb72008-06-26T14:20:48Z2008-06-26T14:20:48Z<div>This is a hand made costume. Both bra and belt are lined. The bra will fit a 34 C. The bra is very sturdy will hold it's shape well.
<br/>This costume will work great for new students, hobbyist, class recitals, parties photos and performances.
<br/>This is an original one of a kind costume. May see photos in my pics on page 1.
<br/>
<br/>The bra will fit a 34 C. The bra cups are covered in a pink colored fabric with pink bugle beads sewn into the fabric. The bra is trimmed in a gold sequin gimp trim. The bra has beaded fringe made from pink seed beads that hangs about 4 3/4 inches long in groups of three .The neck straps are about 34 inches long and tie in a criss cross manner with D rings. The side panels are covered in a pink color velvet fabric(as well as the neck straps I would like to add) The side panels have D rings attach to the ends to add closure for the bra. The is bra is lined and very sturdy will hold it's shape.
<br/>
<br/>The belt is cover in the same pink beaded fabric and gold trim as the bra cups. . The belt is one piece and is a tie front as if it were a hip sash . (has a bit more weight to it than a hip sash) The belt has an elastic casing in the back that can be gather to help with a better fit around the hips for a dancer with curves. The belt is 35 inches long. The belt will fit a small to medium . the belt can be sized down before I send it if you would like it smaller. The fringe is made from pink colored seed beads like on the bra and is about 5 3/4 inches long. This is a nice set sparkles well in light and good movement with the fringe Email with any questions and more photos. This set is 50.00 plus 8.00 shipping in US . will also ship international email for rates

</div>clarinetcat2008-06-25T03:05:33ZUnmata Workshops - Philly PA area - July 12 & 13, 2008Vikkihttp://tribes.tribe.net/bellydancebulletinboard/thread/abed17da-1a0f-46cb-89fb-e624f0b362e82008-06-23T14:34:07Z2008-06-06T14:31:25Z<div>July 12 & 13, 2008 - 2-day Workshop with Unmata
<br/>
<br/>You will not want to miss the ultra fun, high energy of Unmata!! UNMATA is a professional, multi-award-winning, belly dance fusion troupe based in Sacramento, CA. The high-energy team force of UNMATA is known for extreme choreography, inventive Tribal improvisation, and for tapping into an unmistakable divine inebriation on and off stage. For a little taste of Unmata's "HotPot" Tribal Improv go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Q8wK5yffU
<br/>
<br/>Saturday, July 12:
<br/>
<br/>"Sigil School" - 12:00-2:00pm - Get a behind-the-scenes look at the teaching format of Amy Sigil in this interactive split session with UNMATA. In the first half of class, Amy will share her experience, ideas, and dance doctrine—as well as answer your questions. In the second half of class, you will get on your feet for a Sigil School whirlwind demonstration. Tag words: warm-ups, transitions, music, mixes, tempo, choreography, common vocab, work, craft, drill, team, time, counting, working backwards, notes, repetition, fellowship, and yes, you will sweat!
<br/>
<br/>"HOTPOTTURBOTRIBALTRICKS" - 2:30-4:30pm - Strap-on your jet-packs. In this workshop you'll get the skinny on what happens when you let off a lot of steam while dancing really good, really fast. You'll learn and drill two original combos snatched directly from the Hot Pot Studio tribal vocabulary, both equipped for improv and ready for show. You will have fun. You will sweat. You will be inspired. And after class when you're sore and on the floor, remember, "Horsepower" is defined as work done over time. We just teach you the tricks.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Sunday, July 13:
<br/>
<br/>"UNMATA au naturel" - 12:00-1:30pm - This multi-level workshop will outline two tribal fusion combinations emphasizing technique and isolation. The first combination will incorporate the building blocks of UNMATA's modern bellydance style. The second combination will focus primarily on the Hula Fusion nuance. Each movement will be outlined within a tribal cueing system so that it may be added to any troupe's choreography or tribal vocabulary. Amy will describe and drill each individual movement, then fasten them together into an accessible tribal combo that will be practiced in useful group and duet formations.
<br/>
<br/>"Overlaying Isolations, Amy Sigil Style" - 2:00-3:30pm - Amy's Art of Overlay is at the heart of this intermediate to advanced belly dance workshop aimed to add expressive layers and distinction to your dance style. Although controlled simultaneous movement is a complex idea, this class provides a simple approach certain to bring impressive results. Beginning with a thorough breakdown of basic isolation technique, Amy will expand such elements as core strength and relaxed tension, and then demonstrate helpful exercises that are necessary to develop an awareness needed to isolate key muscle groups. Then she will teach and drill an isolation combo that incorporates the artistic flare unique to Amy Sigil and UNMATA. Because this class is designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer, a sufficient understanding of balance and timing is prerequisite.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Cost: Single class = $35 / Full day = $65 / Full weekend = $120
<br/> (non-refundable unless event is canceled)
<br/>
<br/>Location: B&R Fitness Center, 1040 Mill Creek Drive (just off Street Rd), Feasterville, PA 19053

<br/>
<br/>I am the local dancer that is doing one of the side shows!!! So come out and see it!
<br/>
<br/>We’ve also added clowning, aerial dance, feats of strength and dexterity, live musical variety acts, and a sideshow the likes of which have never been seen anywhere. All of this is framed by a touching pantomime of two young lovers whose lives are torn asunder by the winds of fate and the whirl of the circus.
<br/>
<br/>*** Hey, parents! The BIG TOP is a family-friendly show, so we're offering special rate for kids at every show on our tour. Bring your whole family and let them see a vision of size acceptance that is revolutionary and fun.
<br/>
<br/>BigMoves is dedicated to creating high-quality, multi-genre dance
<br/>productions featuring performers of all sizes. Because performance
<br/>dance in the Western tradition has historically been restricted to thin bodies, BigMoves is particularly focused on providing training and performance opportunities for dancers who are larger than dance world norms. Our outreach and education programs promote self-acceptance and self-love for all dancers, of any size and all skill levels, as they work toward growing and fine-tuning their range of abilities, technique, and expression through movement. We are a community of pioneers, banded together to support each other in expanding and exploring the boundaries of the dancer’s body. Ultimately, these explorations are directed at nothing less than a paradigm shift, toward a society in which size diversity is celebrated, not feared.
<br/>
<br/>BigMoves was founded in 2000 by Marina Wolf Ahmad, a plus-size dancer who wanted to create community, training opportunities, and
<br/>performances for herself and other dancers who otherwise were left out of the dance mainstream. The organization began operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, and expanded to Boston in January 2005, and to New York in May of 2006. These three areas have their own branches of Big Moves, and Boston additionally is the home base for a touring company that reaches to Montréal, Philadelphia, Washington DC, as well as other locations along the East Coast.
<br/>
<br/>BigMoves is award-winning. Internationally award-winning. Our revival
<br/>of Gargantua got rave reviews from audiences and thumbs-up from the critics, and we brought back the prestigious Spirit of the Fringe award from the Montréal Fringe Festival in June. Naturally, this sort of honor just makes us leap higher at the brass ring of greatness, which means that our fans and sponsors can be sure they are supporting some of the best and most groundbreaking performances in the field of size-accepting dance and theater.</div>

<br/>Instructors:
<br/>Ava Fleming:
<br/>With her extensive knowledge and experience in international dance
<br/>styles, Ave Fleming brings a truly unique and modern approach to the
<br/>belly dance community.L ocated in Phoenix, Arizona, her teaching and
<br/>performances throughout the Southwestern region have created quite a
<br/>demand for her practice of Raks Sharqi. Her focus on isolations and
<br/>music interpretation has captivated audiences here in the U.S. and
<br/>abroad. As the director, choreographer, and creator of the Black Opal
<br/>Dance Company, audiences have had the opportunity to see her creative
<br/>dance style amplified by ten. Ava's 2004 Belly Dancer of
<br/>the Universe title (Egyptian category) has only furtherd her popularity
<br/>with all who have seen her dance. Ava's instructional and performance
<br/>dvds have inspired and challenged many who have taken on the task of
<br/>studying her elegant example of the modern belly dancer through which
<br/>novices and
<br/>masters alike will gain challenge and insight
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Kami Liddle:
<br/>Kami's style is what she calls a modern fsuion of an ancient dance.
<br/>Although she is primarily a tribal dancer, she pulls from the various
<br/>styles of belly dance that she has studied, as well as modern, hip hop,
<br/>jazz, and bhangra dance. Kami performs both as a solo artist and also

<br/>Aubre has been studying movement her entire life, everything from Bellydance, Jazz, Tap, Hiphop, Social dance, Ballet, Musical Theatre, Pilates, and Yoga. She is a lifelong student of Suhaila Salimpour and teaches bellydance technique based on the Suhaila format. The blend of her influences creates a strong basis for dynamic and innovative performances and teaching. With over 14 years of teaching experience and a broad background of movements, she gives her students the tools they need to progress and grow. With years of experience in jazz and the world of musical theatre, she passes along key elements to creating artistic and intriguing performances. Her classical Pilates training greatly influenced her own practice and thus the work she could offer her students, including injury prevention and rehabilitation.
<br/>
<br/>Aubre is on faculty at California State University, Los Angeles teaching accredited bellydance and Pilates classes as well as teaches a full bellydance program at The Center of Worldance. She can also be seen on fitTV's "Bellydancing with Aubre: All Star Workouts." And recently released her first instructional dvd, "Bellydance Core Fitness."

<br/>
<br/>What to expect?
<br/>
<br/>The hafla is opened to all and is very family friendly. Opened floor dancing welcomes everyone to get up and dance, even if you don’t know how to belly dance. The mansion is also open to walk around and appreciate the talents of local artisans.
<br/>
<br/>Optional:
<br/>
<br/>Because of the informal setting, we welcome you to bring pillows or blankets to sit and relax on.

<br/>Fancy kicks, tight spins and those elusive concepts to take pops and locks to the next level by mixing the liquid smoothness of a snake with hits and stops that look almost inhuman. This workshop will focus on ways to perform with passionate expression while maintaining control and grace. These concepts will be fully broken down using short combinations as examples so the student is able to get a real understanding of the mechanisms behind them.

Spotting basics, as well as non spotted turns, will be covered, and techniques for using legs and arms to initiate a turn. Let's make those legs and footsies pretty, shall we?

<br/>Zoe is a proud member of the indigo which recently was on the road touring their
<br/>show Le Serpent Rouge. She has been touring with Bellydance Superstars since the fall of 2005 and can be seen performing on their new Tribal Fusions DVD.
<br/>
<br/>Combining talents with David Satori and Tommy Cappel to create Tribal Derivations last spring, Zoe discovered she enjoyed creating music, and plans to make more.
<br/>When not with the Indigo, she tours with The Yard Dogs Road Show, a cartoon circus sideshow of wacky dimension, and has been seen tearing it upwith the Extra Action Marching Band.
<br/>An innovative dancer, Zoe has been said to have her own unique take on Tribal bellydance. She takes her influence from Art Nouveau, tango, Breakdance, and Indian classical dance. Zoe was recently nominated for Zaghareets best interpretive artist 2007. She loves unicorns and has never once doubted their existence.

<br/>
<br/>There is a person who titles himself a director who every couple of years approaches the belly dance community looking for dancers to be in his productions. Currently I hear he is using my name, telling people he knows me, implying that I have worked with or that I endorse him. I DO NOT nor have I ever worked with this person and I DO NOT endorse his ideas.
<br/>
<br/>Please, if anybody ever uses me as a reference I encourage you to be in touch with me so I can confirm. It's good practice to check references no matter who it is.
<br/>
<br/>Dancers please be safe and smart.</div>

So what a better way to immerse myself in a world of tassels and coins than to start a new photography project? (Cause you know, I need more things to keep me busy heh) Thus, my current goal is to take classic, painting-like portraits of belly dancers in full regalia, particularly of the American Tribal Style and Tribal Fusion persuasions, in the hopes of publishing them in a book entitled Faces of Belly Dance (not set with the title yet though).
<br/>Suffice to say, I need subjects!
<br/>If you are interested in participating, comment here or email me at evinumen@gmail.com with the subject "belly dance", your availability and location, as well as a head shot if you have one.
<br/>
<br/>I'm very excited about this and can't wait to hear from you!
<br/>
<br/>Thank you,
<br/>Evi</div>

<br/>Egyptian Cane Combinations
<br/>Raqs Al Assaya, a cheerful dance from the Sa’id (Upper Egypt), the dancer twirls a cane in playful imitation of the men’s regional martial art. (The men’s version, Tahtihb, is performed with heavy staffs.) Raqs Al Assaya may be presented as folkloric dance, or elements of this dance may be adapted for cabaret-style Oriental dance. Elysa will teach basic cane vocabulary, fun combinations and a short Sa’idi choreography. Students need to provide canes for class. A few canes will be available for purchase at the studio.
<br/>Prerequisite: Competency with basic cane technique required.
