ATS and Drumming in Bristol

2009-09-08T23:12:29Z

This is an open invite to all to come and join us for regular monthly American Tribal Style belly dance nights on Friday evenings in Bristol.
This is not a workshop and there is no teacher, just a regular get together of like-minded people to go over moves and just dance, drill and practise!
You will need to have some basic knowledge of ATS although beginners can be accommodated.

We would also love anyone who is interested in drumming (darbuka, rik, frame drums, djembe etc) to come along and get involved. Some knowledge of Middle Eastern rhythms preferred but not essential.
In fact, why limit it to just drummers? Bring along any acoustic instrument but particularly anything from the Middle East!

£5 per person to go in the kitty each time, to cover room hire.
We are not trying to make money out of this, so any profit will be pumped back into keeping the sessions going.

This event falls on the last Friday of every month, 7.30pm - 9pm.
June's event will be on the 26th.

Venue: Pilates Moves Studio
Myrtle Street
Bedminster
Bristol
BS3 1JE

If you are interested in coming please PM me just so we can get an idea of numbers. Thanks :D

Egypt, Sinai and UK Workshops

2009-06-18T11:40:52Z

Hi - I am very pleased to announce that I will be running a Middle Eastern Music, Dance and Percussion Holiday in the Sinai on the 31st of October to 7th of November 2009 with my partner Maren Lueg and dancer Carmen Jones. Last year we travelled to the Sinai and Cairo for 6 weeks and we found a great Camp called RockSea in the Sinai run by a lovely German couple. They have invited us to run these workshops in their Geodesic dome at the camp within easy walking distance of the accommodation. After the workshop week we will be travelling to Cairo for a week or so and we are happy to help anyone who wishes to explore the music and dance opportunities which are there in abundance – performance, tuition and instrument buying etc. and how to generally deal with getting around Cairo. There is hopefully all the information you may require at my website click http://arabicdrum.co.uk/teaching_workshops.htm#Drum,_Music_and_Dance_Holiday_In_The_Sinai,_Egypt_Nov._2009_ for who we are, what is offered, costs etc. etc. I also have some upcoming workshops in the UK some of you may be interested in and I have new drums in stock for sale too – all this and more can be checked out at www.arabicdrum.co.uk

Just to let you all know......

2009-06-15T17:06:21Z

'Waltzes, Glitches and Brass: The New Sounds of Vaudeville' is out and available now! Follow this link www.empcds.com/comp-vaudeville.html

If you're based in the UK and don't wanna pay overseas postage you can PM me direct as we have a few for direct sale. (UK distribution is being sorted). Or European customers, please contact Mags and More at: info@mags-and-more.de

Vaudeville, Music Hall, Freak Shows, Concert Saloons, Minstrelsy, Dime Museums, and Burlesque; all major forms of entertainment in the late 1800s/ early 1900s. A time where costuming and stagecraft was paramount, and a certain warped fascination with the bizarre and freakish, spliced with titillation and risqué humor, was the order of the day. Here the spirit of this evocative era is fused with dark waltz melodies, glitch electronic sounds, salacious burlesque, and gypsy brass for one of the most unique and lovingly crafted compilations you’re likely to hear this or any other year.

Compiled by Brit DJ/compiler Phil Meadley, with the assistance and advice of Frédérique (who appears on the sleeve), Rachel Brice, Jeremiah & Rachel Soto, and the big neon glitter.

How exciting! Hope you like it as much as we do : )

TFI ATS Fridays!

2009-05-15T08:44:27Z

Hello ladies -

This is an open invite to all to come and join us for regular monthly ATS nights on Friday evenings in Bristol.
This is not a workshop and there is no teacher, just a regular get together of like-minded people to go over moves and just dance.

We would also love anyone who is interested in drumming to come along and get involved. We already have a couple of drummers and it would be great to have more people playing along. Doesn't matter what level you're at, from beginner to experienced, just come along and play.
In fact, why limit it to just drums? Bring along any instrument but particularly anything from the Middle East!

If everyone puts £5 in the kitty each time, this will cover room hire.

When? The last Friday of every month, 7.30pm - 9pm, starting this month (29th May).

Tribal Fusion Workshop

2009-05-13T20:38:50Z

Only six places left in this workshop.

Locks, Pops and Choreography Workshop on May 16th. Time 12 till 2.00pm

Selling fast, book now only £15 from www.darkstardance.co.uk

Locks and Pops are one of the defining moves of Tribal Fusion belly dance.

This workshop will focus on achieving sharp locks and pops through the understanding of our anatomy and isolation of core muscle groups. These moves will then be drilled repeatedly.

We will then learn a short choreography using all the drilled moves. This will show how locks and pops can be used in choreography to interpret the music and give dancers the feel of what it is like to perform as a tribal fusion dancer.

This workshop is suitable for both beginners and intermediate dancers who wish to learn and sharpen up moves and work towards performance. Bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothes.

Most of you probably know about this already, but The Azume are teaching at Sirocco in Frome soon. The Saturday workshops are getting quite full, but their Sunday one: Space Invaders, may not happen due to lack of interest. I think how they use space is really interesting, so am trying to get others to do it so it can happen!

Amazing coincidence

2009-03-31T15:58:53Z

I had to go into hospital today for a minor op to remove a lump under local anasthetic. It was a hospital out of my immediate area where I wouldn't have expected to know anyone. A bit worrying as well as I had breast cancer a few years ago.

I'm swathed in blue sheets and feeling quite nervous with my arm held up over my head and one of the nurses ask if I'll be ok keeping my arm up for the duration. I reply that I do tribal and spend hours with my arms up so I should be ok - at which point there is a little squeal and one of the nurses says "Tribal - I do tribal" - and it is vronni who teaches down that way and I've met at workshops a couple of times.

By the time we've chatted about Majma, Tribal Pura, Carolena, Wendy, Sam, Izzy, Jacqui, and workshops and wouldn't it be nice to go to America to dance, or even just Tribal London - and the possibility of workshops down in South Cornwall etc etc - the op is over and done with and I've hardly noticed.

I did feel a bit sorry for the surgeon and the other nurses having to listen to us chat nineteen to the dozen - and at one point I had to check myself from laughing - not a good idea when a surgeon is wealding a scalpel over your chest.

It was lovely though to be in such a horrible situation and immediately connect with someone through dance.

Thanks vronni. I owe you a big hug when we next meet at a workshop.

Put on your costume, try out the moves you've learnt in the day, show us some of your own, or just dance away with your friends loving the whole tribal connection. :)

BellyNut Tribal bazaar will be available throughout the day during breaks, and during the evening. Tea and coffee from the start to the finish of the workshops and an organic, vegan lunch is included in the price. Bring your own drinks/snacks for during the mini-hafla.

All workshops are open level and, other than the skirt, shouldn't be any more aerobically demanding than one of my classes (there are a lot of hours to be dancing in there!).

Strictly limited to 18 places.
Book by 31st March for a discounted price of £45 for the whole day. Payment via paypal or cheque in advance.

To book your space, your performance, or to ask any questions, please give me a call: 07788 925074, leave a message, and I'll call you back.

Hi everyone.

For those of you who were coming to the workshop yesterday, the new date is Sunday 22nd February. Same venue and same times.

We are sorry that we had to postpone it, but the roads to the workshop were covered in a thick layer of ice and snow and it simply wasnt safe enough to attempt to drive up the hill.

See you on the new date.

If anyone who wanted to come but couldnt make that date, then please, come along. Details at www.ushaoseye.co.uk

Workshops?

2009-01-31T08:55:52Z

Well I have finally found the time to start leaning tribal properly, and I have to say it is sooooooooo addictive.
I am doing Victorias class in Bath which is Brill, and am doing a class at Tribal London, and also hopefuly making it to Sirocco, but dont think I can afford Tribal Ford. I have been lookng around for other workshops, but cant see much going on, so if anyone hears of any please let me know. I am def a beginner, but seem to be learning fast (probably due to all the time I am locked away in my room practicing! So complete beginners workshops would probably be too basic now

And I just wanted to say thanks for all the freindlyness on this tribe, it's great.

2008-11-27T13:33:33Z

Did anyone else go to see this on Saturday night? The performances were amazing - it was clear how hard everyone had worked and the show was brilliant from start to finish. I was just disappointed I couldn't buy a costume but my wallet said no! It really inspired me seeing some of the dances and the younger girls were brilliant - I think they were only about 10 and they looked stunning!!! It was a great night and all in aid of charity which is even better!

I just wanted to say that it really was brillant and I wish I could have done the whole week. As Rachael Brice says, it really was worth every penny, I am really glad I went along, and wish I could have done more.

Thanks Tatyanna, and thanks to the people on this forum who encouraged me to go along

jacqui sends me updates of workshops and haflas. i know amel was doing some workshops this month and i so nearly hopped on a plane to be there. i also wanted to do majma this year. when i do a show in zimbabwe i encourage the women to buy second hand saris to make veils and skirts as fabric is hard to get as are most things. if any of u have some websites or pics u can send me with ideas of making costumes etc we'd be most grateful. despite what is happening here in zimbabwe i am admant that nothing will stop us from dancing. i have had to cancel the last two retreats as NGO's etc were not allowed to travel outside Harare. Last night we only had two in the class as husbands and partners did not allow the women out in case there were problems on the road. its so much easier to freeze and stop doing things out of fear, but the way i see it we are dancing for peace and if we didnt have this outlet we would loose our sanity. its so amazing at a time like this the effect of dance has on the mind, body and spirit.
may the people of zimbabwe, the animals and the land be in your prayers xxxxx

Tribal in Dorset

2008-06-28T11:21:31Z

Hi all.

I am currently trying to find an ATS class in the Dorset area. I am in Weymouth, so I can see the availiability of a regular class might be a bit unlikely, however I am happy to travel Poole way, or Yeovil or whatever for workshops/long classes/weekend classes on a fairly regular basis. Even up to Bristol for a decent length workshop. I am currently improver/low intermediate level in oriental style.
Any ideas?

Thanking you.

3cd set Beginners Guide to Bellydance

2008-05-12T16:49:23Z

This is a really comprehensive collection of bellydance music covering a wide range of genres and styles. It's a 3cd set, 1 Traditional and Cabaret, 2 Drum Solo and Tribal, 3 Fusion. It's been compiled by the excellent Shisha Sound System with assistance from Dawn O'Brien and me, and is released on the Nascente label. Check out www.myspace.com/beginnersguidetobellydance. It's available from Amazon, plus numerous others - the sales links are on the myspace site. IMHO it's totally fab, a real heavyweight release! Hope you like it too : )

Bellydance Superstars at Torquay- one for the Diary!

2008-04-12T16:54:35Z

Today i received a leaflet from the Babbacombe Theatre at Torquay advertising the Bellydance Superstars doing a show on Thursday 30th October 2008. Telephone for Box office is 01803-328385 or www.babbacombe-theatre.com. So this means we don't have to travel to London! although i think they have to adapt the show for the stage at this Theatre. Lookin forward to it already!

Possible Majma Ticket

2008-02-28T16:10:23Z

I am on tenterhooks as my partner is looking decidedly ill and I may not be able to attend Majama this weekend.

Unfortunately he's not just being a wimp - he sometimes has to be rushed off to hospital when he goes down.

I will weigh up how well he is tomorrow am - but is there anybody who'd want to take over my place at the last moment - and at least give me some of my dance budget back for use at a later date. £167 - This was my big treat for this year :-(

www.majmadance.co.uk/

'm booked on all four Ultra Gypsy workshops,
Infinite creativity: Sufi dance and improvisation ( alternative Mustafa Live) and
Music Masterclass
plus Friday and Saturday evening .

They could take over my Glastonbury travelodge reservation as well. Double, non smoking Friday and Sat. £50 per night.

I'm still hoping he'll be ok enough for me to go but if anybody wants to stand in the Q. I'll feel happier than possibly having the booking, and my precious budget, wasted.

Zafira in Dublin

2008-02-24T19:23:58Z

I discovered Zafira for the first time a few months ago and I love their dancing.
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F70BFA6D41D53430

I couldn't believe my luck when I saw they are going to be in Cambridge 10th May
http://tribes.tribe.net/londontribaldance/thread/3c709706-a4ae-4953-be7d-614b88279316
but now Wendy is hosting 2 workshops with Olivia Kissel of Zafira in Dublin on 11th May - and Dublin might actually be easier and cheaper to get to from Cornwall
http://ireland.tribe.net/event/Workshops-w-Olivia-Kissel-of-Zafira-Dance-Co/ireland/8aa105c9-fab5-4af4-8777-5b81751d7475?tribeid=32fcbd31-63eb-4ed8-befd-0f7a298c5cfa&nextpage=%24thispage

Wendy - only 2 workshops. What about the third? - I bet that's the choreography one and I'd love to do that - even if I'm too tired to more than flop through it!

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats

2008-02-10T12:10:16Z

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 belly dance community. 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 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.

Hope to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa
