Suspira — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:34:29 GMT

The fabulous Bombshell Betty of CA will be coming for a full burlesque weekend at our new studio on Dec 6 & 7!!!

BURLESQUERCISE!™ INTENSIVE:

Guest instructor Bombshell Betty offers a crash course in Burlesquercise!™. Whether you want to polish up your burlesque stage show or spice up your boudoir boogie, in this special class you will learn everything you need to know to keep your audience wanting more, including:

* The burlesque strut and bump-and-grind song interpretation.

* Burlesque prop use including boas and how to use your clothing (before and after removal) as effective stage props and how to take it off gracefully without tripping on your frilly nothings.

* How to craft a burlesque skit using timing to create drama, sensuality and humor.

* Turning up the sensuality with striptease techniques.

* Techniques for engaging your audience and getting the exact response you want.

NOTE: While this class includes striptease techniques, no nudity is required and all comfort levels will be respected, so don't be scared if you don't want to take it off!

This workshop is from 2-6pm on Sat, Dec 6th.

Cost with pre-registration: $65/ 4 hours

please call to register at 407-579-9765 or stop on in to either Orlando Bellydance location!
*********

We also have two more spots available for Betty's Famous 8 Hour Pin-Up workshop on Sunday the 7th, from 11-7pm. This amazing workshop will be limited to only 15 students maximum and consist of:

PART ONE: Pinup Posing Workshop

At the Pinup Posing Workshop, you will learn:

- Posture and posing secrets that work with any photography style to strategically emphasize and de-emphasize body parts to visually sculpt your body: emphasize your bustline, slim the midriff, elongate your legs, and slim out your hips or add weight to your booty (depending on your preferences)

- Pinup posing and photo movement, including specifics for face, body and hands.

- Techniques you can practice at home to master the art of always looking fabulous in front of the camera.

- Effective prop use: learn to pose well with everything from chairs to parasols to your own clothing and costuming.

- Personality projection: You've heard that "it's all in the eyes" and the best models "make love to the camera." Learn how to gain confidence in front of the camera and present a powerful persona.

- Photo styling: Coordinating clothing, accessories, props and backdrop/background to create stunning and effective imagery...

- What to pack and how to prepare for your photo shoot.

- Take home reference materials provided.

PART TWO: Pinup Photo Shoot

At the Pinup Photo Shoot, you will receive:

- Photo makeup and retro hair styling makeover!

- Plenty of time with our fabulously talented photographer, shooting multiple looks for a wide variety of images.

- Gentle instruction and detailed posing direction from Bombshell Betty during the shoot to ensure you get the most flattering images possible.

After the shoot, you will receive:

- A disk including high-resolution copies of all the images from the shoot, so that you may see for yourself which poses work for you and which ones to work on. This is highly unusual in the industry, as most photographers will only give you low-res proof images and charge you an additional fee for each high-res image or print that you order! With a Bombshell Betty Pinup Workshop, there are no hidden costs or need to buy the photos after the shoot!

Total Cost for this workshop is $250 for the 8 hours of instruction & retro makeover, including the photo shoot and full disc of your pin-up images.

A non-refundable downpayment of $125 is required to hold your spot, with the final payment being due Dec 1st.

Bollywood Choreography Workshop with Shainna!

Suspira — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:42:59 GMT

INDIAN "BOLLYWOOD" WORKSHOP!
Orlando Bellydance Proudly Presents an authentic Bollywood workshop with acclaimed Indian Dancer, Shainna!

What is Bollywood? "Bollywood" is a term used to describe the Indian film industry; the word itself is a conflation of "Bombay," the previous name for the city of Mumbai in India and and America's own "Hollywood." This dance form finds its routes in the seven classical dances of India, and over the generations, Bollywood has diverged and embodies a coalescence of various dances worldwide. Performances range from solemn, graceful mannerisms to upbeat and lively motions all of which are filled with emotion and easily portray the artist's affection to the audience.

This special four hour workshop will feature terminology, technique, and a full original choreography by Shainna.

When? Sunday, July 27th and August 3rd from 7:30-9:30pm at our secondary location, The Longwood Ballroom.
Cost for this workshop is $45 in advance, $55 at the door if spots are available. Registration now open by credit card over the phone, or at either Orlando Bellydance location.

FitTv

Souzzon — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:26:52 GMT

Has anyone seen the new belly dance show on FitTv? most of those shows really give you a workout and get you to sweat so i turned it on to ceck it out, thinking it would be something to help me get motivated since there are no classes near me and was greatly disappointed, its not a workout its a dance class, its done just like the Namaste Yoga where 3 gals perform the moves to a voice over.
Anyone else seen it, any input?

Alrighty now

Chandra — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:51:05 GMT

This week's submissions for the naming contest have been posted to my blog (Entries as of July 22nd). Only one more week to go, so if you've got a name that you think would work for my studio - send it in...
Remember, the winning entry receives $150 buckaroos (U.S. dollars).

I'm off to meet w/ a contractor to get a quote for installing the sprung floors in the dance area, as well as one or two other things I'd like done in the space. And then trying to hook up w/ Shannon who leads several drumming events in the area about teaching a weekly percussion for M.E. rythms at my studio.

Sooo many little details to wrap up...
Peace Out!

Whats in a name?

Chandra — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 02:45:45 GMT

$150 Bucks, thats what!

Alrighty, everyone whose met me or checked out either of my pages (here on Tribes and on MySpace) knows how addicted to belly dance I've become. And also, it's no secret that (like many other dancers) I've considered opening my own studio - eventually.

Well, eventually is turning out to be NOW!
I've been crazy mad trying to get all the details and loose ends taken care of. Have gotten quite a lot done preparing to open (two inter-related) businesses. The first is the boutique side of things - and Funky Temple will be open for biz (prob) by end of July.
The studio side of the biz is where things are going ever sooo s l o w.
Read more about it in my blog entry Ever onward...
http://people.tribe.net/afc836a4-29e1-43dd-ad9a-f55939fa550a/blog/78f0f85b-c80d-40ed-ae7f-9e4f54f91eb1

And regarding the Naming Contest, if you could help me get the word out - I'd greatly appreciate it. I've also posted the info in my tribes blog and on several of the tribes I belong to.
The contest is open to everyone, and the winner wil be paid in U.S. dollars.

Thanks all!

Don't Do It!

Chandra — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 18:59:08 GMT

"Undercutting" and "How much to charge"
are two topics often brought up on many different forums on Tribe.net
Here is a great article about it on the Gilded Serpent website www.gildedserpent.com/art32/n...ates.htm

Does anyone feel like $200 is to low for a standard cost - or to high??
I think is important enough to get the word out about this - and so am posting this message on most of the tribes I belong to...

My personal opinion is that if you are willing to work for less, then it DEFINATLY hurts the industry as a whole - because sometimes it is about price... and if a qualifed/professional dancer has to lower rates just to get work, then new & less experienced dancers take even still less - then eventually nobody can afford to work at their art.

Don't Do It!!!
