Tsingani workshop descriptions

Teresa-P — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 20:00:09 GMT

Hello everyone!

In repsonse to some talk on tribe about people wanting better workshop descriptions, I have made some modifications to our workshop descriptions for March 1 at the Oasis Dance Studio in Highland.

PLEASE NOTE: The content will be the same!! I just wanted everyone to be clear on exactly what we will be teaching.
I hope this helps!

ANOTHER NOTE: All of our workshops are detail oriented, focusing on technique, muscle isolation and control.

Workshop #1 – Tsingani Signature Combos

What makes Tsingani stand out? The innovative mix of more traditional Tribal Style moves pumped up with pizzazz! In this workshop, we will breakdown Tsingani combos, specify which are for choreography and which are basic to improv, and then we will drill, drill drill by practicing these moves in an improv setting as a group. The choreography combos are in preparation for the Choreography workshop. Be prepared to take notes and ask questions – we will be covering a lot of material.
Skill Level : Intermediate to Advanced.

Workshop #2 – Tribal Fusion Choreography – “Tsingani Style”

Our fast is FAST and our slow is medium in tempo.
The focus of this workshop will be a slow, mesmerizing choreography that you can use to spice up your routines. *This workshop is for people who learn choreography quickly.* We will focus on muscle isolation and control and we will be incorporating Tsingani signature moves so we highly recommend you prep for this workshop by taking the Signature moves workshop first. We move quickly but thoroughly through the breakdown in order to get through it all. Take notes on the handouts provided and bring a video camera to help you get through the madness!
Skill Level : Intermediate to Advanced

Hi T and Cupcake,

Just wanted to Thank you ladies for helping Beth and I look so awesome on Sunday. We were both so nervous it was nice to have our mentors up there with us on stage I know for me it helped keep my nerves under control. I had been looking forward to a time that I would be able to dance on stage with Tsingani since I saw the performance you did with the Devas at TFF but I never dreamed it would come so soon. I can't wait to get the DVD of our performance.

To Shoe or not To Shoe...

SOOZ — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 21:02:47 GMT

That is the question! I've always wondered if wearing some kind of shoes, be it ballet slippers, china flats, herme's sandals, jazz shoe, etc., is part of the tribal costume? Do you wear them in class? Is it better to learn this dance barefooted?
Wearing shoes for outdoor events, restaurants, clubs, etc. for the beginner who may not be used to having something on their feet if they're used to being barefoot in class. It is a different feeling esp. in spins.

I personally can dance with or without shoes, I currently teach barefoot but my students have the choice right now whatever they want to wear or not wear, but I will be teaching at a Flamenco studio soon that has plywood floors, unvarnished (for now) and until I can get the flooring or carpeting, can shoes be an option to avoid the obvious splinters?

(I apologize as I will be reposting this on other tribes as well) Thank you my tribal sistahs!

Hiplash finally has a video on YouTube!! Yay!!!! I am so excited! The video is of our performance at the monthly showcase, TaXim in Eagle Rock, CA. It was so much fun, and I think we had a pretty good show. Solace played live music, which was amazing as usual. We even had an encore presentation after the crowd shouted for us to come back out! (well, they were shouting... hmm, maybe they were saying something else?) ;)

Well, I won't keep you in suspense any longer... here it is...

Enjoy!

PS. Praise is greatly appreciated and will be paid for appropriately.

Tampon donations

Teresa-P — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 15:01:44 GMT

Ok, so it sounds weird, but it is real!!

Women's shelters in the U.S. go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly. Assistance agencies generally help with expenses of "everyday" necessities such as toilet paper, diapers, and clothing, but one of the most BASIC needs is overlooked - feminine hygiene products. (Yes, sexism is still alive and well.)

Seventh Generation, a green paper products and cleaning products company, will donate a box of sanitary products to a women's shelter in your chosen state - just for clicking the link. Talk about easy (and, yes, it is Legitimate)! This cost NOTHING, except your time!! (5 seconds max.)
www.tampontification.com/donate.php

Thanks - and pass it on!

Beach Party....The Sequel.....

DonPhillips — Wed, 02 Aug 2006 03:36:49 GMT

Hello all you party animals!!!

Since so many of you enjoyed yourselves at the beach party in July, and since some did not get the chance to come, we decided to have another one!!!

So here are the details:

Aug.26th at Port San Luis in Avila Beach.
We will be setting up in the morning and staying until we need to go to bed! That means come when you want and stay as long as you want. We will have a BBQ, Volley Ball net, football and I am sure some other play toys. There will be music and dancing so bring a drum if you have one. Bring whatever you want to throw on the BBQ, we will be bringing snacks to share. Technically, there is no alcohol allowed on the beach, so if you bring it, keep it hidden.

There is another beach that Teresa has heard about (thanks Cara & Christi!) that we could go to instead of Port San Luis if you guys want to camp out. Let me know, cuz we liked where we were but if there is enough interest, maybe we can have a camp over!
If there are any questions, contact me or Teresa.

Awesome Beach party!!

Teresa-P — Mon, 10 Jul 2006 02:15:55 GMT

This was the best birthday yet! I had such a wonderful day with all of you that came out to the beach. It was perfect!!!
The weather could not have been nicer, I loved seeing all the seals and watching the Kamakazi pelicans- that was great. And I really liked playing Dana's horse shoe thingy game, and the volleyball game got pretty fierce! But when the dancing started, and then the drumming and dancing, and watching Elizabeth, Asye and Laurie dancing- woohoo!! Asye has so many cool variations on moves, I could have watched you girls all night.
And thanks for all the happy birthday wishes from all of you- and of course, all my girls - Sacred Skin, Sacred Sole and Tsingani- you girls are the best!!
I only wish Cynthia could have been there :(

My Heros

Teresa-P — Tue, 20 Jun 2006 22:00:42 GMT

Bonnie and Lilly are my heros.

Bonnie, because she never lets me say "it can't be done". She is always there, willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. And she is the best dance instructor ever!

Lilly....sweet, sweet Lilly. She is trully the epitomy of resilence. Even through all the adversity she has encountered, she continues to make it happen. I want to be like you when I grow up!

And of course my husband Don, who makes always makes senses.

I love you guys.

Thanks for blessing us with your presence at Cairo Carnivale. You ladies were beautiful AND your dancing was awesome. Love the choice in music, too. CC needs to see more tribal! Hope to see you next year!

And, thanks for going up at open dancing and breaking out some moves with me. Yikes! Teresa turned into Ms. Shy when I asked her to dance. Teresa, some how I don't see you has shy. We definitely need to share some moves so we can speak the same lingo. Perhaps we'll be able to do that at your beach party on July 11.

Woohoo!

Am I the only one who didn't know about this DVD (or am I still livin back prior to 1893)?

Wed, 04 Jan 2006 18:41:21 GMT

Columbian Exposition DVD: Fine Art, Belly Dancing, Architecture, Inventions at www.columbianexpo.com ..
Experience the America of 1893 through a cinematic visit to Chicago's Columbian Exposition. Many of the world's greatest achievements in art, architecture, science, technology and culture are unveiled there, everything from the finest Victorian paintings to the belly dancing of Little Egypt. Dubbed the "White City," it inspires future innovators like Henry Ford and Frank Lloyd Wright, debuts the Ferris Wheel and Cracker Jack, and, in many ways, marks the beginning of the 20th century. Filmed in High-Definition, EXPO - Magic of the White City immerses viewers in the Victorian Age and its greatest innovators such as Westinghouse, Edison and Nikola Tesla.

Any critiques..anyone have this and would like to comment? Because if you 'buy' it then I may 'BUY' (purchase) it too!

For the record I'm 38 and wouldn't remember the Columbian Expo anyway :-), ~LINNY~
