Private Beginner's Belly Dance Classes! Learn belly dancing from an inspiring and patient teacher!

2008-06-14T20:26:00Z

I'd like to offer private belly dance classes for anyone who feels like they need more one-on-one instruction, privacy, patience and a teacher dedicated to spreading the joy of the dance! You'll get to work at your own pace, wear whatever you like, and be encouraged to find the beauty of the dance in your own way.

I absolutely believe in the spirituality of belly dancing, and see it the way it was meant to be seen- a beautiful act that praises life and strengthens women's bodies.

The dance will help with self-esteem, body image, flexibility, moods, and over-all well being.

Wear comfortable yoga clothes or dress up for each lesson- it’s up to you!

The schedule is absolutely flexible, and I will do my best to work out a time that works best for you- lessons can be anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours- again, it's up to you! The price will vary as to how long you want your lesson to be. To give you an idea, an hour-long lesson will be $15. However, trades can be made and I can always knock down the price if you need it. My goal is to inspire you and help you find belly dance as wonderful as I do.

Learn to relax into the art and the beauty of the dance and enjoy yourself!

Email me (Charlene) at charleneeldon@yahoo.com, or give me a call at (415) 299-1026

I look forward to hearing from you!

Your Help is Needed!

2008-04-15T17:56:19Z

Hello All,

Some but not all of you may have seen my Blog regarding the major overhaul I’m doing to my Town home. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, I just found out that my AC Unit is completely shot! I will need a totally new AC Unit for the patio area and cannot get away with just repairing the Compressor. I have been given 2 quotes.
1 is $1,700.00 & the other $1,600.00. YIKES!!!

As a single Mom, doing all the renovations to this place by myself, a new AC unit is totally out of the question. Been having some great weather lately but I’m a native Houstonian and I know my time is running out!

If any one knows ANYBODY in the Houston or surrounding area, that can assist me in getting a new AC unit at a lower cost (wholesale or better) please contact me immediately! If I can get that much done, maybe I can find a way to get darn thing installed. Many thanks for your assistance from a very grateful heart……..

SATURDAY, JULY 5 George Washington Carver Theater, 1165 Angelina, Austin 78702
Doors Open 9:00a WS 5 Hrs 10:00a – 12:30p and 1:30p - 4:00p $70.00 at the door ($60.00 before May 1)
Catered Lunch on Saturday – Separate Order @ Check-In
SATURDAY 10:00a WORKSHOP: "UNMATA au naturel"
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.
This workshop will be fun, fast, and furious. UNMATA believes in beat-your-butt technical practice, so bring water and come prepared to sweat.

SATURDAY 1:30p WORKSHOP: "UNMATA, The Fast & The Furious"
This intense workshop focuses on fast! Amy will lay down the stylistic foundation and technical breakdown for UNMATA's awe-inspiring omis, ferocious shimmies, and bad-ass body pops.Each movement will include "transition-training" so it can be used alone or linked with other movements to create a short choreography. UNMATA is known for beat-your-butt drilling and technical obsession, so bring lots of water and come prepared to sweat!
SUNDAY, JULY 6 George Washington Carver Theater, 1165 Angelina, Austin 78702
Doors Open 1:00p WS 3 hrs 1:15p – 4:15p $42.00 at the door ($36.00 before May 1)
WORKSHOP: "Overlaying Isolations, Amy Sigil Style"

Amy's Art of Overlay is at the heart of this intermediate toadvanced bellydance 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.
BOTH DAYS $112.00 at the door ($96.00 before May 1)

UNMATA TRIBAL SHOW

Fundraiser - Let's keep Silvia dancing in the country

2008-02-19T17:55:02Z

Hola to everybody!

On Saturday 16th of February from 7 to 10 pm, at Zahirah Noor Studios (14520 Memorial Drive -www.zahirahnoor.com) I will be hosting a fun, entertaining and love-giving fundraiser. There will be dance performances all throught the night, specially featuring Shunyata Bellydance: for the first time in town we will hit the stage and recreate the entire show that got a big load of opas! this past season at the Texas Renaissance Festival! There will be also a drum circle (wanna play? bring your drum!, wanna dance but not on stage? bring a coinscarf and join us!), middle eastern food, drinks (BYOB if you please so, although some wine and sangria -of course!- will be there too), and a big silent auction. Also we will have nice vendors with us...wanna fix a last minute costume for the event? We can provide that too!
The reason for the event is the following: As many of you know, I'm from Spain (and for the rest of you who don't know me...try youtube shunyata...and see what happens!), so it has arrived the time where my temporary visa for being in the states works no more, and I am seing myself in the middle of the process of getting my permanent one, which happens not to be on winter sales! So, if you have ever seen me dancing or attended a class with me and liked what I do...now you have a very good chance to support my art and my stay in this country. Really. Any dollar that anyone can add will help...that's why there will be no cover charge at the door, only love donations. And finally, if you wish to donate but can't make it to the event no hay problema! you can paypal at my account Silvia_Salamanca@excite.com.
Muchas gracias a todos and all my amor!

Silvia

free concert that you may enjoy:: THIS WEDNESDAY

2008-01-29T15:33:19Z

Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar
Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute

YOU KNOW YOU WANNA GO TO A FREE CONCERT WITH A RENAISSANCE LUTE!!!

When: Wednesday, January 30 , 2008 at 8 pm

Where: A site-specific performance at
The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum
4011 Yupon at Branard, Houston, TX (map)

Tickets: The concert is free of charge

Nameless Sound and The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, in cooperation with The Menil Collection, presents:
Tetuzi Akiyama (Japan) - acoustic guitar
Jozef van Wissem (Holland) - renaissance lute

An artist of starkly contrasting styles, Tetuzi Akiyama gained international recognition as a member of Tokyo's "onkyo" scene of improvisers in the late 1990s. A groundbreaking and highly influential group, the onkyo musicians are known for zen-like subtlety, quietness and a remarkable use of silence. Akiyama's music can have these qualities, but his connections to blues and folk have always been clear. His acoustic performances are delicate, beautiful and expressive, often sounding like an intersection between country blues and traditional Japanese music.

Jozef van Wissem probably plays the most unlikely instrument in the world of contemporary improvised music: the Renaissance lute. He has accomplished the strange feat of bridging the idiom of seventeenth century lute literature and twenty-first century free improvisation. Van Wissem has largely stayed faithful to the particular timbre, resonance and playing technique of the lute. Van Wissem first came to be noticed a few years ago because of his conceptual approach to Renaissance lute music: he deconstructed existing compositions, for instance, by playing them backwards. He also composed his own pieces for lute, using palindromes and mirrored structures. His music therefore does not have a traditional linear progression, nor does it lead to a climax; rather, it stays at the same level of intensity. His music is quiet. It doesn't so much demand concentrated listening, but it brings the listener into a state of concentrated listening—an aspect that makes Van Wissem a natural partner to Akiyama's zen-like blues.

The Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum was opened in February 1997. Intimate in scale, the Chapel Museum is the repository in the United States for the only intact Byzantine frescoes in the entire western hemisphere. These masterworks from the 13th century—a dome and an apse—were stolen out of a chapel near Lysi in the Turkish occupied section of Cyprus in the 1980s, cut into pieces and smuggled off the island by thieves prepared to sell them piece by piece. The fresco fragments were rescued from the thieves by The Menil Foundation with the knowledge and approval of the Church of Cyprus, the rightful owner of the frescoes. The Menil Foundation then funded a painstaking two-year restoration of the paintings. Numerous private donors helped fund the construction of the Chapel Museum, which combines rough stone, opaque glass and rich woods to extraordinarily spiritual effect. The Church of Cyprus is allowing a long-term loan of the frescoes in the building designed especially for them by architect François de Menil.

Happy New Year to our Sisters & Brothers

2008-01-14T17:10:56Z

Aries
We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives . . ., not looking for flaws, but for potential. - Ellen Goodman

Taurus
And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. - Nora Ephron (screenwriter); character Harry Burns, "When Harry Met Sally"

Gemini
Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols. - Thomas Mann

Cancer
Certain opuscules, denominated Christmas Books, with the ostensible intention of swelling the tide of exhilaration, or other expansive emotions, incident upon the exodus of the old and the inauguration of the new year. - William Makepeace Thackeray

Leo
Each age has deemed the new-born year
The fittest time for festal cheer. - Walter Scott

Virgo
Surely, it is much easier to respect a man who has always had respect, than to respect a man who we know was last year no better than ourselves, and will be no better next year. - Samuel Johnson

Libra
No, life has not disappointed me. On the contrary, I find it truer, more desirable and mysterious every year ever since the day when the great liberator came to me: the idea that life could be an experiment of the seeker for knowledge and not a duty, not a calamity, not trickery. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Scorpio
Glory to God in highest heaven,
Who unto man His Son hath given;
While angels sing with tender mirth,
A glad new year to all the earth.
- Martin Luther

Sagittarius
New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions... - Mark Twain

Capricorn
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man. - Benjamin Franklin

Aquarius
New Year's Day is every man's birthday. - Charles Lamb

Pisces
Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Dance & confetti,
Sisters of Avalon
