My UNMATA Necklace was stolen in SF! Please help me!

2008-07-06T06:22:57Z

Hi everyone.
On Sunday my car was broken into at Pride. I lost everything. My ipod, camera, new rollybag, my notebook, calendar, clothes, jewelry and...
my UNMATA necklace.
Everything else I can replace over time. But my UNMATA Necklace!!!!!!!
It was taken in San Francisco.
Here's what I'm thinking...This is a powerful piece of jewelry and it may show itself so I can find it. I figure I have a few hundred people on my side in the city that know the necklace or the symbol.
Please keep your eyes open and if you see one, it's mine. Offer to buy the necklace from whoever for whatever it costs and I will reimburse.
Please, I know she is trying to show up somewhere for me.
I'm heartbroken

August says you're 'Minty'!

2008-06-30T01:37:18Z

Fred, as we watched you at the TFest afterparty, enjoying every minute of your performance, August leans over and says,
"She's Minty - that's the best way to describe it!"
Perfect - with your radiant face and crisp movement, I knew just what he meant!

New Beginner Level ATS Class...with Fredeique's Urban / Fusion Twist!

2008-02-20T06:27:08Z

Ladies and Gents!

I've been itching to teach another class and reconnect with my roots; ATS (American Tribal Style) belly dance!
So I've decided to start up an East Bay on-going beginners class on Thursday nights from 7 - 8pm beginning the first Thursday in March!

The short version:
ATS is an improvisational dance form with a system based on nonverbal cues.
This was my first and only formal training in belly dance. I have much love and respect for it and I can never let it go completely though my style has evolved so much that I am no longer true to the format. However, I spent years dedicating and training in ATS since 1997 - 2005; a little more then the later half of that training spent evolving and pioneering into what is my own style now... It is because of ATS and the improvisational factor that I've not ever once choreographed a solo piece and I owe everything I know in belly dance to it.
Though I am not a purist, I still hold ATS in high regard and I am looking forward to sharing my version of it with you...

The long version:
If you are interested in finding all about ATS, where it came from, and who pioneered it, etc... Click on this link below:

So for those of you who have been waiting for this class I've been talking about to materialize... Here it is!

My real name is Frédérique Marie-Joelle David. My dad is Syrian and French; born and raised in France. He named all three of us fancy, old world French names... Bless his heart... I feel more like a Fred though. Really old friends call me Alfie (long story).

Tribal Cafe Screening of "Tribal Style: Becoming a Belly Dancer"

2007-12-09T16:00:05Z

Went off without a hitch. Just a hiccup in the beginning when the projector go out of sync, but Laura was there and kept the crowd laughing. I sat next to Rachel Brice, my all around most excellent friend, and we held hands and cried at certain part and hugged at certain parts and laughed. And then realized that there were a lot of other people doing the same things.

Thank you to Clandestine, Beth and Sue, Miss Frederique, (who must learn to control her reactions when she sees her self on screen ;) but I understand, if it weren't for the fact that I was having a heart attack every time I heard a noise thinking that the projector went out I would have been doing the same thing... ps thanks for letting me wear your hat!), and Fat Chance Belly Dance, who got a standing ovation and rocked the house. Thank you for dancing before the show and really giving the screening a sense of occasion.

It was really nice to know that what I captured was truly the essence of our experience and I'm so happy to know now that we really really all share it.

Thank you most of all to the Lazarus & Soto for putting this thing together, hosting it all and Music Supervising the movie. I owe you really more then I can say. Thank you just seems a little unworthy but that's all I got. Thank you Jeremiah and Rachel for making Tribal Cafe a truly amazing experience for me, you ROCK!!!

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats - Repost

2007-11-15T12:07:32Z

Hi Folks,
We recently released a debut album. It's a mix of electronic and arabian styles. We're hoping it might appeal to the tribal and belly dance community, and also people that are into this sort of vibe and music. Please feel free to have a listen on myspace where we have four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

It would also be great to promote it through the network of tribal and/or belly dance teachers who might be interested to sell it at a class or bazaar. We can offer it at wholesale prices with plenty of capacity for the seller to make a decent profit on top of the wholesale price.

Please contact info@nomadiqa.com for further details. Sorry for the self promotion.

Hope to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa

So one of my troupemates saw Miz Fred at Bellydance Congress (which she said was a complete horror) (not Fred, the overall experience) ;p and took a workshop since I've been yapping about her for ages. Her review? "She's mad as a March hare, but I enjoyed it." Ha ha ha ha ha... ;)

Fred, Hip'n'Bass & Underground SF

2007-09-04T02:54:03Z

So we're launching Hip'n'Bass at Underground SF. Last Thursday of the month. This month, August 30th will feature the lovely Frederique, Freyja, Jennifer Faust & Mitara with SooozhyQ on doumbek and DJs Jimmy Love and Amar.

Fred & I started Hip'n'Bass 2 summers ago at Oasis in Oakland, where we had some kick ass fun summertime sunday shows wth Kush Arora, Clandestine and many other great performers. Now we're kicking it up at one of our favorite bars in the lower Haight, Underground SF.

The other day I was talkin with the folks at Underground SF about starting up Hip'n'Bass, and they asked me "is Frederique going to be dancin?". I'm like "Duh, of course she is". She started Hip'n'Bass with me, she turned me on to Underground SF, and she's been a big inspiration and support to me.

Come join us on August 30th

ah couple ah comments...

2007-07-27T04:32:18Z

Someone posted a couple of comments on YouTube about my dancing...

Apparently I'm good at Indian Dance!!! Which one out of the TWO MILLION dances in India? Well, that remains to be seen...
I think that's cool seeing I've never taken an 'Indian' dance class before...
Oh, and this may seem a surprise to some of you but... I'm also 'Goth' as well.
I'm gonna have to share this with my home girl who traveled with me to Morocco in 2000, she'll get a little kick out of it... (I do miss Morocco...sigh...)
:)

Disclaimer:
I'm not trying to bash this woman... poor thing is too ignorant and it's just not my style...Even if she is just being mean...
Nevertheless...She has a right to her opinion.
But I did find this entertaining and figured you may too.

Enjoy...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ONE:

"She is good at dancing indian style but what annoys me is they mix north african stuff in it and it just does not sync. I know there is talent involved and I guess if someone was into goth things.... this would be entertaining. I just cannot stand the music. I guess its appealing to some"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TWO:

"I personally having been in NORTH AFRICA and seen the real cannot stand the gothed up tribal stuff. I think its an excuse to be "gothy" and has nothing to do with the true expression of what the music speaks about. I just dont like it . I just thinks it goth in bellydancer outfits..now the arabic based stuff I like. This just looks like MARILYN MANSON"

Fred in Buffalo, NY!!!!!

2007-06-20T19:26:48Z

Northern Migration's Gala show will take place on July 14th, 2007......Tickets are on sale now!!!

Doors open at 6:30 pm
Tickets are $20 and available at Heartbeat of the East studio in Buffalo and on the web at www.northernmigration.net.

UNMATA, Zafira, Kassar, Sashi, Tribal Feat, Frederique and Gypsy Caravan all in one night in Ani Difranco's Church? These are the HOTTEST tickets in the world!!!
------------------------------------

Heartbeat of the East World Dance Studio is pleased to announce that this year's Northern Migration Tribal/Alt Dance Festival will be held at Asbury Hall at The Church! The Church, located in the heart of downtown Buffalo, New York, was saved from the wrecking ball by the Righteous Babe herself, Ms. Ani DiFranco. We are very pleased to say that the Righteous Babe Foundation will be the corporate sponsor of Northern Migration 2007.

Beautiful cannot begin to describe the space at Asbury Hall at The Church. From its soaring steeple, to its Medina sandstone Gothic Revival facade, to its Booth & Reister stained glass windows, The Church will be an inspiring backdrop to learn from the leading instructors of Tribal belly dance. The venue is perfect for our festival. There are beautiful hardwood floors for dancers' tender feet and there is a state of the art geothermal heating and cooling system. It is an environmentally-friendly approach for providing climate control. Finally, there is a plethora of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and shops nearby to enhance your Buffalo experience.

This year, the festival will have an area known as Valizan's Casbah! The Casbah, located in the castle like underbelly of The Church, will offer a space where you can relax between classes, take notes, practice newly learned combos and grab a snack and a refreshing beverage. The Casbah will be open to all festival attendees but will be closed during the drumming classes which will be located in an adjoining room.

Each attendee will be given a welcome packet upon signing in that will give you tourist information for the Greater Buffalo Niagara region, a map to lead you to nearby restaurants, shops and clubs and a little goody to boot! We envision a great festival for all of you as we strive to make you feel welcome and appreciated and as we bid you farewell, we hope that you leave with a giant smile and a little place in your heart for the festival we call- Northern Migration!

I Hate Being A Procrastinator.

2007-05-11T12:37:59Z

I came into funds at the last minute to go to "Festival on the Nile" and am positively thrilled to be going. The problem is I waited until the last second to secure a room due to the fact that I thought a friend of mine was going to hook me up but unfortunately that has fallen through. I'm pricing hotels in the area right now so I can avoid sleeping in my car. I mean, it's a friggin' Nissan. Not the coziest of accommodations.

My question is, would anybody be interested in having a roomie and sharing the room cost? My fatal flaws are occasional snoring and a constant overwhelming desire for coffee and chocolate as well as being a bibliophile.

Any response would be appreciated. Even if it's just a casual, "Duh", thrown my way.

Many thanks in advance.

To one of THE most beautiful and talented dancers I have ever laid eyes on, fantastic Fred, your workshop was exactly what I needed to jump start my daily practice on improving and refining my arm technique. I've been struggling with that particular area in my performances lately so I knew this would be the one workshop I needed to help me with that, but wow, I learned so much more than I thought I would, not just about arm movements but about a lot of things relating to being a performance artist. Thank you so much beautiful lady, I am so proud to call you my friend.

Hala has been dancing to the rhythms and melodies of the Middle East since she was a child in Alexandria, Egypt. She has been praised for her authentic form, elegant style and immaculate rhythms. Captivating audiences with her passion and energy, Hala performs solo and with her troupe.
Hala has been teaching and performing her native dance all over the world since 1997. She currently teaches Middle Eastern dance through the Dance Dept at Stanford University. This is the very first time that Stanford endorses Middle Eastern dance as part of its dance curriculum!

The "Hala Dance Troupe" was selected from over 115 dance companies to represent Middle Eastern dance at the prestigious San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival in 2004. In 2005, she performed with master percussionist Hossam Ramzy in London, England and presented her native art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts In celebration of the King Tut exhibit. In 2006, Hala opened Halanda Studio in San Jose where they offer classes in many international dance styles (Middle Eastern, Indian, Mexican, Argentinean, American & more) as well as dance parties, video shoots and more.

In addition to performing & teaching, Hala leads dance tours to Turkey & Egypt, and hosts dance workshops by Master Egyptian teachers. She will be hosting master Egyptian teacher & choreographer "Raqia Hassan" on April 21 & 22 in Redwood City. For more details, please visit www.HalaDance.com

Aviva has performed on the Santa Cruz belly dancing scene for the past 9 years. She has danced all of her life and brings her jazz, ballet and modern dance background to this beautifully feminine dance form. "Belly dancing is truly expressive of the goddess in each woman--aprivate meditation of beauty that can be shared with others." A visual artist and university lecturer in mythological studies, Aviva also leads exciting study tours to Turkey. Check out her websites: www.adriennemomi.com and www.mythic-travel.com

~~~***~~~

Cat fell in love with the thriving Bay Area belly dance scene three years ago shortly after moving to California. Though she grew up studying ballet and modern in Maui, Hawaii, here she discovered a form that she resonated with for its demanding physicality, cultural diversity, and theatrical freedom. She started off studying tribal style belly dance with the fabulous Jill Parker but is currently excited to be getting her certification in cabaret style with Bellydance Superstar Ansuya. She has performed with small groups and is beginning to experiment as a solo performer. Currently she striving to complete a cultural dance related degree.

For more info: www.dalilajasmin.com .

Dayna and Rana have been dancing together for over 10 years and have instruction in many styles from traditional cabaret to folkloric to tribal. We are currently members of the Kashmir Dance Company in Salt Lake City Utah. While our current troupe is primarily a tribal fusion group, we aspire to be versatile in all forms of the dance. We are very inspired by Ansuya and her grace and passion for the art of bellydance and are very humbled by the opportunity to be involved in the comprehensive and salons.

~~~***~~~
Jennifer Faust has been dancing all of her life beginning with 18 years of intensive ballet and jazz training. After seeing Ultra Gypsy's first Undulation, she fell in love with the art form of bellydance and began training with Jill Parker. She was then asked to join the Suhaila Dance Company and Bal Anat and was a member of both companies from 2005-2006. She is currently pursuing her solo career and collaborationg with Freyja.

~~~***~~~

Freyja began her study of dance in early childhood. Her dance background includes ballet, jazz, hip hop, ballroom, salsa, club dancing, flamenco, Indonesian and Indian dance. She has developed her own unique style, drawing from many of these sources. Freyja fell in love with belly dance through her first teacher Ansuya, who inspired her to pursue this dance form whole heartedly. Over the years she has studied with many different teachers and being a life-long student, she continues to study seriously with Frederique and Suhaila Salimpur. She also continues to study with Ansuya whenever the opportunity arises. Freyja has performed all over the United States as well as Canada and Europe. She teaches regular classes in Oakland.

Holly Gibson came to dance late in life but with plenty of energy. She began her studies in 2000 with revolutionary bellydancer/director Jill Parker, and joined Parker's esteemed company, Ultra Gypsy, in 2001. Holly was a principal dancer and choreographer in Ultra Gypsy until she left in 2006. She has also studied with Elizabeth Strong, Malia DeFelice, and Ansuya, among others. In her non-dance time she is a producer/editor at Current TV, where she gets to be creative using a completely different medium. She is currently focusing on her solo work as well as spreading her dance wings as a member of the newly-formed Damage Control Dance Company.

~~~***~~~

Morgan Masri started learning bellydance in 2004 under the direction of Delphina Masri, in Oklahoma City. Having no previous dance training, she was shocked at how well she took to the dance, and in the summer of that same year she became a principle dancer of NatanaSuta Bellydance Company. However the small community in Oklahoma City was not enough for her to really expand her art so in December of 2006, Morgan moved
to Berkeley, Ca. to study with some of the best in the industry. Morganwould describe her interpretation of the dance as pure fusion, finding something she likes in all genres of the dance.

~~~***~~~
Mina has been a student of dance and the theatre since childhood. Through her classical training and love of the dance, Mina has developed a unique style which combines classical dance styles with a variety of modern theatre styles. Her unique style and grace have charmed audiences throughout Northern California and can be seen performing though out the Bay area and Sacramento as well as from time to time out of the state either solo, or with her dynamic troupe Dalloua Dance Company. Please check check out her website www.dalloua.com or www.dallouadance.tribe.net for more information.

One disclaimer: Gina G is featured on the flyer, but will not be performing, as she will instead dance in May on Mother's Day when her mom will be here :-)

I had a great time at Nouveau Nights and wanted to thank all the dancers for making the night so freaking awesome! I've posted a couple of links to some of the photos I took. They're the same photos, but the first link is to an album where you can run a slideshow or look at the pictures individually. The second link is to a photoshow in which the pictures are accompanied by music. Enjoy.
