Hadia's Ultimate Technique Training July 9-13

2007-07-31T04:12:14Z

Has anyone thought about doing this? I just saw it listed at Hadia's website. http://www.hadia.com/professional.htm .

It is the week before here professional training course, which I don't think I qualify, LOL, since I am not truly a "professional". But it all sounds interesting.

Of course, I am thinking a week in Montreal with Hadia might be an interesteing experience. I have been there once and want to go back again . . . but this time with dance classes from Hadia?? OK, my mind is churning over this one!!

Question about NOT teacher training

2007-05-03T18:47:56Z

I'm confused as to the website. I understand Hadia has a Teacher Training program that consists of 3 levels -- yes?

I'm interested in that too, but does she also offer a Level-based Dancer Training program? I see she has some intensive workshops -- is there a structured dance for professional development type of program?

Hadia on avoiding squatty dancing

2007-03-31T06:15:25Z

those who did Hadia's teacher training were reviewing this topic, and one got a nice full answer by email from Hadia on why using a bent-knee position as a base posture does damage. Thought other fans of Hadia would enjoy it!

1. The quadriceps muscles will become overworked, overdeveloped and adhered
(stuck together). In this state these muscles will create referred pain,
known as "trigger points" directly into the knee. Although the pain is only
a referred pain, it will cause decreased blood flow into the area of pain
and eventually cause injury adn degeneration into the knee itself.

2. The iliotibial tract, on the outside of the thigh will become shortenned
and thickened if hte knee is chronically bent. It will also become adhered
(stuck) to the vastus lateralis muscle (the outside quad). Both the
iliotibial tract and the hypertoned, shortened vastus lateralis will then
physically pull the patella (knee cap) laterally. This causes the patella
to mistrack to the side as it moves up and down in the groove in the femur
(thigh bone). This will gradually wear down the cartilage on the patela and
the femur and create irreversible damage to the knee cap.. This is patellar
tracking dysfunction.

3. The shortened Iliotibial tract will also pull the pelvis down and
forward through its attachement to the tensor fasic latae which is found
beside and below the anterior iiliac spine (the boney bumps at the front of
the abdomen on either side of the navel). If the pelvis is pulled down and
forward, the curve in the lumbar spine (lower back) is exagerated and the
joints become compressed. This will eventually cause disc and nerve problems
in the lower back.

4. The above situation will also result in a shortened iliopsoas, which will
cause chronic trigger point referral pain to the lower back and worsen the
excessive lumbar curve and resulting joint, disc and nerve problems.

5. This position also causes the back of the calf to be chronically
overstretched and the front of the calf to be shortened, which will
eventually cause achilles tendon strain and injury.

These are 5 good reasons to stand tall, be counted, be elegant and save your
knees and other things from a painful future!

HADIA LEVEL 2 TEACHER TRAINING

2007-02-05T18:56:32Z

Hi Everyone.... I don't have all the details worked out yet, but the dates are set and the studio is set. We will have Hadia for a Level 2 training August 23-36, 2007 in New Orleans, LA at the Crescent Lotus Studio uptown. We decided since level 1 was so *intense* for 3 days to stretch this one out to 4 days so that it wasn't quite as "brain overloading" as last time. This time we'll do 4 5hr days which gives also some downtime to explore New Orleans. I think we'll have a casual hafla/show maybe on Saturday nite before our final day on Sunday. Also, last time we included a one day workshop open to all levels of dancers after the 3 day intensive, not this time.... it's just going to be Teacher Training for 4 days. Soooo.... all that being said, please contact me at either noura_la@bellsouth.net or noura_skakri@yahoo.com for further details (which at this time, I do not have). In process of getting a hotel/B&B set up and other details.......... let me know if you want to be on the list for updates as they happen. I'll try to post here as often as I can, but I've not been good abt checking in on Tribe regularly. Thanks!!!
Noura
btw, I'm sure you know Level 1 is a pre-requisite.

Active Isolated Flexibility dvd rental from netflix

2007-01-27T02:27:22Z

I just got this dvd today from Netflix. It's called "Live at Broadway dance center: Active isolated Flexibility" The exercises look interesting but the Woman who is performing the active stretches is a Teacher/Dancer and VERY flexible. I'm wondering if I can incorporate this type of exercise into my regime.

Hi, I am writing a review for The Chronicles regarding my experience at Hadia's Level I In Baton Rouge a couple of weeks ago. I noticed that the one in Toronto just took place too so there should be some ppl full of good comments to make regarding their experience. Well, I hope there is.

If you would like to send me a comment regarding what you liked about what you learned, what you have come expecting to learn, how you will use it, or anything else, I would love to include it in the article . . . using your name (dance or other, lol). Send me a message with your quote plus your name and location.

Hadia Teacher Training Level 1 and 2 for 2007

2006-11-10T00:00:42Z

Firstly, I want to introduce myself. I'm Mellilah from Seattle. I have taken some of Hadia's workshops while she has visited Seattle. Question: Does anyone know when the Level 1 and 2 sessions will be offered in 2007. I think the ones that are listed on Hadia's website are from 2006, last summer. I am particularly interested in going to Victoria, BC, as it's closer to Seattle, this summer. Thanks!

Wow, that's a mouthful!
The tribe was created for the group who did Hadia's Level 1 and 2 in Ontario last June, but I think it would be best if it were opened up to everyone who's done her training. It's a great place to discuss our experiences using her techniques.

I've been transformed!!!

2006-08-29T23:30:41Z

Hi everyone. Just this weekend I attended a Hadia show and weekend workshops. This is my first time seeing this whirlwind in a performance and my first time learning her method. Her performance was very, very, very (did I say very yet? One more time...) very inspiring to me. I never really appreciated "Egyptian" dancing until I saw Hadia. She made it all look so effortless, and the charizma, ugh! It just "dripped off her. She really knows how to handle an audience. The woman is 53 (guessing) and she made a young man look at her as if she was the best looking female there (and this guy was sitting with a bunch of "model" type looking girls). I remember that she stated that she thought she was a hot-shot belly dancer until she took a class from a Male belly dancer in San Francisco and he litterally made her feel as if she was "transformed." And now that is how I feel. I feel like I have finally found my niche in this place of belly dance. Sorry for the long post but I just needed someone to know how I feel!

Teacher Training in Baton Rouge

2006-02-15T20:49:01Z

xpost from reply in another tribe:

I want to go to this sooo bad, but I emailed about the info for the workshop, and when I saw the prospective price, I was blown away and have been going back and forth over it ever since. I have to scrimp and sacrifice for every penny I spend on bellydance, and I think the price on this is more than I'm going to be able to afford.

Has anyone here taken the Level 1 workshop before? I need details and lots of them (what does she go over and in what kind of detail? what was the cost of Level 1 when you took it and do you consider it worth it?) before I make a final decision, but I'm very much afraid I'm not going to be able to afford a price tag that high.

Hadia's videos and DVDs.

2006-01-04T04:55:17Z

Okay, who wants to know what. I have all the video series (which I think has been trasferred to DVD now) the 4DVD System set, her performane DVD (and while I don't have the two new choreography DVDs, I learned one choreo at a workshop, and plan on getting the Brazilian one soon.)

I recommend everything. Well, maybe not video #6 if you're not into Tunisian, but I think it's fun, and would probably be of use to Tribal dancers who want to add Tunisian movements to their repertoire.
