<br/>
<br/>I got my hands on a pretty old (I think) HMC performance dvd.. "bellydance at its best".
<br/>
<br/>I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE - no ADORE - your "Aswan dances Music intro" performance.
<br/>
<br/>It is breathtaking.
<br/>
<br/>The best American bellydance performance I have ever seen, one of the few dances by an American bellydancer I find "complete", with emotion, softness yet perfection.. amazing.
<br/>
<br/>I would love to see more of you!!!
<br/>
<br/>Are you not planning to make more instructionals? I own your rhythms for IAMED; and will certainly be getting the vol. 2 as well.
<br/>But I would love more instruction by you!!
<br/>On stylization, expression, Egyptian raks sharki.. your technique and secrets :)
<br/>
<br/>PLEASE do more! an entire performance dvd of restaurant or stage shows would be another thing I would be gettting within an instant!!
<br/>much love

I've been sleeping off the jet lag over the weekend and am ready to start class again on Monday!

<br/>
<br/>You were here in Vancouver last month. I only got to attend one of the days of your workshops but I really enjoyed it. I have been a fan of yours for a couple of years now so it was a great opportunity to study with you in person.
<br/>
<br/>And I am actually working on the choreography you taught.
<br/>
<br/>Someone told me that you mentioned in the Sunday May 4th classes that you thought you might be back this way - even on the island in Victoria, BC.
<br/>
<br/>Please say it may be so . . . . </div>

</div>tamra-henna2008-01-29T19:08:39ZLaban - BartanieffCzarinahttp://tribes.tribe.net/tamra-henna/thread/5081f9c2-397a-4f25-acde-d316778271e62008-05-26T04:01:59Z2008-05-26T04:01:59Z<div>I have begun to delve into the world of Laban analysis.
<br/>
<br/>When I first of of laban a loooong time ago, I though 'how neat' then somehow the person I asked about it made it sound like it was totally about the notation, and gave me the impression it was just drawings of stick figures so I lost interest. Now that I am looking into it again though it is even richer and more exciting than I originally thought.
<br/>
<br/>Is anyone else here into Laban/Bartanieff? What has it yielded for you??? I would love to hear the scoop from anyone more knowledgable than me, esp. with a bellydance perspective...</div>

<br/>I stumbled into this video clip by accident. I loveeee this video clip, T.H's dancing is superb as always.
<br/>
<br/>I wanted to know, whose version of "Wahashtini" is this? It sounded to me like "Salatin El Taraab Orchestra". Though I've searched for it on their albums, but I can't find it.
<br/>
<br/>Any help!

</div>tamra-henna2008-01-21T21:45:14ZTamra-henna's new IAMED Videodanidancehttp://tribes.tribe.net/tamra-henna/thread/e85d38ae-2b76-470a-b2a5-17c7c407e0b92007-10-03T21:19:30Z2006-05-18T00:56:25Z<div>Everyone,
<br/>
<br/>Please note - very exciting news - Tamra-henna just wrapped a video shoot for IAMED - "Oriental Rhythms" which - unless I'm mistaken and Tamra-henna can enlighten us further - is essentially an indepth explanation of how certain rhythms translate into dance & combinations.
<br/>
<br/>If you've taken Tamra-henna's classes - you know this is invaluable education that is taught unlike anyone else teaches it. At least, I've never taken another class like hers and I've been to pretty much everyone in L.A.
<br/>
<br/>Congrats and I'll post an anticipated release date when we know it. </div>

I had a great time. Hala is such a sweet lady, and the participants were enthusiastic! I also got to hang out a bit for a change. I visited my brother on the Haight in SanFrancisco, and had a photo shoot with the one and only Michael Baxter on Sunday. I'll post some photos soon.

<br/>
<br/>Could you (or someone who knows) reiterate the numbers of the "corners" as you teach them? I'm finally getting off my lazy-summer butt and working on the Saidi choreography you taught in Ontario last spring, and can't remember the corner designations!
<br/>
<br/>Thanks!</div>

<br/>you all.
<br/>
<br/>I did have an opportunity to go see Tamra-henna dance last weekend at Wahibs. It was great
<br/>fun and of course she was wonderful. We had a marvelous time!
<br/>
<br/>Tamra-henna, if you see this post, what's the word on the DVD? Since I can't get to your classes
<br/>anymore on the Westside, I sure do want to buy them when they come out!!
<br/>
<br/>xoxo to everyone,

Everything seemed so quiet - what a flurry of emotions. Sadness that everyone was gone, relief that I could go home and sit quiet after it all... This was my first time organizing a workshop, and Tamra-henna made it a wonderful experience. She was very kind, professional, and has a very effective method of teaching both technique and choreography.
<br/>
<br/>The turn-out was very good for both the workshop and accompanying show - I want to thank everyone who attended. You all made this a very positive and memorable experience for me.
<br/>
<br/>Thank you, Tamra-henna!

It was an intimate yet enthusiastic crowd dancing and shopping together in Fullerton. I ran into some old friends as one tends to do at these gatherings.
<br/>
<br/>I got to try out some new teaching techniques and topics today in the workshop, which was really fun and informative for me. For those of you who don't know, we covered the stylistic difference between Raks Sharqi and Raks Baladi. I thought it went really well and could definitly see those differences in the participants movement and emotional expression. Exciting!
<br/>
<br/>Please email me with any feedback you might have. Until next time....

<br/>
<br/>This could be a really dumb question so forgive me, but - there are numerous songs that I love that are Saidi rhythm - (in fact, probably most everything I love is that rhythm).
<br/>
<br/>But here's the question: I remember someone saying one time that "such and such song is silly to perform without sagat." This may be a no brainer to everyone but - how does one know if the "bellydance police" will give you citation for performing to song without your finger cymbals?
<br/>Naturally, I try to avoid playing them at all costs but I'd hate to make some kind of faux pas.
<br/>
<br/>I think it's clearer when you should grab a cane for a song, butI'm not so clear about sagat since so many songs could have them incorporated.</div>

<br/>
<br/>I noticed on Little Egypt's site that you'll be teaching a workshop and performing at their Ahlan Cairo Nights in August.
<br/>
<br/>Not only that but Mona Said and Randa Kamal will be doing the same and everyone will be performing. I went over to copy the particulars to your tribe but the information is pulled (or put somewhere off the main page) - probably to focus on the upcoming workshop with Fifi Abdo in May.
<br/>
<br/>Fill us in when you get the chance - That's so exciting - Mona, Randa and you!</div>

All I can say is, WOW! I was entranced. I've never seen anyone dance so fluidly, elegantly and seamlessly in step with the music. And really looking like she was enjoying herself, too.
<br/>
<br/>So, Tamra-henna, I have a few questions for you. I assume that because it's a live band (and a very good one, too) that they have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. How much of your set is choreographed, and how much is improvised? How do you anticipate changes and other artistic flights of fancy? Are you always following the band or do they ever follow you?
<br/>
<br/>I'm sure I'll think of more questions, especially if I get to go see you again! Thanks for putting on a fantastic show.

<br/>
<br/>When you travel with a shimmying horizontal figure eight - what's the best way to avoid that "start-stop" and get a smooth consistent movement going? I know there's not a magic bullet but.....should the weight be on the ball of the foot? are you flat footed?
<br/>Me, I pretty much feel like frankenstein doing this move!
<br/>
<br/>This is one of my favorite moves of yours - along with the shimmying traveling small hip circle.</div>

<br/>one everyone dances too, and then the fast version that is on Wash ya Wash Vol. 2.
<br/>
<br/>Tamra-henna, is this really two versions of the same song or is it two entirely different songs?
<br/>My ear does not hear it as two versions of the same song but then my ear can be naughty.

<br/>
<br/>Tamra-henna is cancelling - well rescheduling really - her beginning class in the Valley at MKM studios on Wednesday nites. The intermediate advanced class remains unchanged so come to that!
<br/>
<br/>In the next two weeks, a new Saturday series including beginner class will be announced - just solidifying the location. Will post more later or Tamra-henna will post an update.

<br/>
<br/>Tamra-henna is dancing on Sunday at 12:39 on the Bazaar stage. I don't know what she's performing too or any details other than I'm sure it will be a treat as we've not had the pleasure of seeing Tamra-henna at Cairo Carnivale before (or at least not in the past several years that I've been going).
<br/>
<br/>Fellow T-h students - if you're dancing - please post what time you'll be performing so we can cheer you on.
<br/>
<br/>Also, I wanted to encourage everyone to see the EDA Khaleeji project that is on several dancers afterTamra-henna's performance at 1:08. This should be a really nice presentation of traditional style Khaleeji (directed by performer and fellow T-h tribe member David) .
<br/>
<br/>Let us know what you're up to at Cairo Carnivale!</div>

<br/>Then the more I think about it, the foundation of that is really listening to the music and letting
<br/>the body respond accordingly. I'm not sure what the hardest thing is...at this point of my dance education,
<br/>almost everything is still challenging enough to keep me in student mode for quite some time.
<br/>
<br/>Thoughts?

<br/>
<br/>I'm curious about using the rhythm and using the lack of audible "beats" ...
<br/>
<br/>With rhythms like Wahda and anything really I guess that moves more slowly in terms of tempo - you've got some time between dums or the ability to "dance over" the dums if you don't want to hit them all in every measure.
<br/>
<br/>Are there some good guidelines for what to do for those "between" moments. For example do I need to make sure that some movements don't suggest a beat if it's not actually aurally there? wahda is 4/4 right so technically there are 4 beats per measure....but maybe it's bad to use a movement that is too "accent" related.
<br/>
<br/>Okay, ramble ramble - am I going anywhere or worrying unnecessarily?</div>

<br/>
<br/>I assume that a lot of your costumes are from Egypt. What designers have you worked with, and do you have someone whose vision you trust? Or do you draw out your designs and have them made up by a seamstress who just sews what you decide?
<br/>
<br/>Also, have you favor any particular colors, or do you try to mix it up so that you only have one of a certain color at a time?</div>

<br/>
<br/>Tamra-henna, and anyone else wanting to chime in on this - it's clear that not all students are going to embody the style and look of their teacher - due to personality, skill level, etc.
<br/>
<br/>But, are there some things that we as students need to come to grips with from a limitations due to phsyique standpoint?
<br/>
<br/>For example, I am not built like you at all and things that look really great when you do them may not really look terribly good on me (okay - there's that perfect technique thing at issues!).
<br/>
<br/>Is this me making excuses, or in fact is there something to figuring out what needs to be modified to fit one's physique or is it really just skill level? I'm sure there are no easy answers...it'd be nice if there were some general guidelines like - "if you don't have a long torso, you probably don't want to do x, y, z move...." Not a great example but maybe you get my drift.

<br/>
<br/>I was watching your Raks al Assaya performance again. To me it seems like you have a different approach to cane dance than most, or is it my imagination?
<br/>
<br/>Also - someone asked about the history of cane dance on bhuz and with belly dance there are usually 95 different explanations for everything along with 95 explanations of the nuances!
<br/>
<br/>So aside from feminized Tahtib - what is there to know? (or is that a bad two-word summary?)</div>

<br/>
<br/>Just thought I'd pop in and let everyone know that I'm here and I'm available to answer whatever questions you might have. Also, thanks to Dani for starting this tribe! Just to get things going......
<br/>
<br/>As you know, I lived many years abroad while pursuing this art form. For me, the experience of dancing is very intertwined with travel. Raks Sharqi has allowed me to travel the world and live in many different cultures. In the day to day aspects of my career, I do not always get a chance to share some of the interesting places I lived, the people I have met, or the sights I have seen. I thought I'd take this opportunity to share some of them. I will be posting some photos and stories. Feel free to ask me about any place that interests you. I will be adding on to this over time, so keep checking back !
<br/>
<br/>First post coming shortly......</div>

<br/>
<br/>The others that seem to be on my favorites for the past 6 months are on Wash ya Wash Vol. 2 - I'm crazy about Baaiya Elhawa, that version of Tamr-henna, and Lamone Elnas.
<br/>
<br/>A couple of questions - I take it there are many Tamra-hennas out there (ha ha and no joke considering there are two on this tribe already!) - but the most popular version I hear people dance to seems to be very different that the Wash ya Wash version....so what's the scoop with that song?
<br/>
<br/>The other is - and apologies this is a bit cliche - if you had only a handful of songs that you could perform to from now on - what would you choose?</div>

<br/>
<br/>I am selling my gold authentic Madame Abla along w/ viel & skirt for $425. It's in great condition, and has been worn about 6 times, for not more than an hr. each. The costume is fitted to me, but nothing has been cut, so it can be adjusted to any size. It is size large, so it could fit a petite person such as myself, up to size large. Ablas sell for $600-700 new, and the fakes also sell for this price at Turqouise International.
<br/>
<br/>Pix are on my website, www.melindadance.com (currently the only thing on there).
<br/>
<br/>I live in West LA, and will be in OC in the summer if you would like to pick up.
<br/>
<br/>Call or email me if interested,
<br/>Melinda

<br/>
<br/>What was the hardest thing for you to learn in M.E. dance?
<br/>
<br/>and conversely, what is the hardest for you to teach students? do they relate?
<br/>
<br/>I haven't figured out what the most difficult thing is for me yet - certainly I feel challenged by not knowing what lyrics are saying and often feel I'd dance better if I knew! I think my biggest challenge right now is consistency with posture & balance.</div>
