Moving to Atlanta

I'll be there sometime after the new year. I was wondering who over there does sort of fusion-y stuff. Not necessarily Tribal Fusion as it has come to be known, but just *other than* cabaret, egyptian, or tribal/ATS. I'm looking for a good teacher, or just people to dance with. Does anyone go to the drumcircle at the land trust?

      Preferably Decatur, or at least in that general area, but we're open to other areas as well. I don't mind driving (or riding Marta) a ways to get to class. I used to live in Dunwoody, then in Kennesaw, and everything I wanted to do was all the way across town, so I'm used to it. Though I know traffic is worse now given how much the population has expanded.

        Welcome back to Atlanta, glad to have you! Consider Atlanta Fusion Belly Dance. Great teachers and students building a base of dancers who share, perform and have a lot of fun! A new set of classes are starting and there are walk in classes. www.atlantafusionbellydance.com/

        In fact, their 1st show will be at Nicola's Restuarant 7/26. Come and check us out. I plan to dance in a song called Batalik. We shall see...there are about 16 counts I have to really work on.

        Shimmies!

        Jaki and I of Jahara Phoenix teach out of Studio Dance and Fitness up in Lawrenceville. We do basic bellydance, tribal, and ATS.

        www.jaharaphoenix.com
        www.delphidance.com

        however, being in Decatur gives you lots of options closer to you.

          Thanks ladies! I'm really excited. I'll be trying all of them, I'm certain. I love getting different perspectives. And I don't mind driving to Lawrenceville to take classes, especially from such a talented group of dancers. :)

          Jerri: AFBD is at the top of my list. One of the students there, named Kim, sent me a PM saying that I should check them out, so I took a look at the website and I'm definitely interested.

          I just wish we would be there sooner. The days are moving like molasses.

    Welcome to Atlanta - and make sure to check out AtlantaBellyDance.com, we have three studios (one near Decatur in an area called Little 5 Points, which is half way between Decatur and Downtown.
    We teach Cabaret, Folk, ATS, Tribal Fusion, Bollywood/Bhangra, and Huladance.
    We also are the home of three troupes with 15+ eager dancers.

    Besides Tribal fusion, we also have modern fusion dances - see the Shakira, Miss Independent, Dirty Diana, or Baby Boy choreographies of our recent shows - video clips on youtube - search for Nazeem Allayl or Atlanta Belly Dance.

    Hope to see you some time at one of our Haflas,
    Nazeem
