Southern Oasis Workshops!

TheInfinitelyDelightfulJeannie — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 15:13:45 GMT

Alchemy proudly presents….
Southern Oasis 2008 Workshops!

Saturday, March 8

Denys Proteau: At Southern Oasis 2008 Denys will run a general introductory hand drumming class. Participants may
also bring other percussion instruments such as tambourine, clave, zills, wooden spoons, etc. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring audio recording gadgets such as tape recorders, mp3 recorders, dictating recorders, or waxed cylinder recorders. Printed handouts will be available. We'll play a variety of listening and rhythm learning games, as well learn and practice new rhythms. Denys will offer his workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Joanie Lamb Hair Salon 720 Broad St Augusta, GA

Darbuka Dave: The Basics of Working With Dancers - We will cover the universal ways of communicating with dancers, useful for both choreographed and improvised performance. The class is suitable for all students who have at least a basic knowledge of technique, and beginners should expect to be challenged by the quick pace of the class. Dave will offer his workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Joanie Lamb Hair Salon 720 Broad St Augusta, GA

Natalie Brown: Delirium Tribal improv combos. Move, trade places, turn, pose with Delirium Tribal's signature improvisational moves. Use in choreographies or your own brand of tribal improv. Natalie will offer her workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St GA

Ashley Bennett: This workshop will be focused, primarily, on stage presence and fluid motion - with a concentration on arm and hand movements. A certified yoga instructor, Ashley typically begins and ends each workshop with enough yoga to warm up the body to support flexibility, and then slow it down again to prevent aching and soreness for the "morning after." Ashley will offer her workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA.

Alchemy: In this workshop, the emphasis will be on floorwork: toning and building the muscles necessary for safe, strong, and controlled floorwork, introducing new movement to your repertoire, and learning how to incorporate floorwork into improvisational performances for the solo or group dynamic. We will also cover the "no-nos", what to consider to keep your floorwork from devolving into a peep show, and how to comport yourself to best display your strength and mastery to the audience. All of this will be presented in the same lighthearted, safe, accepting atmosphere Alchemy is known for in its classes. So, come prepared for a workout, great information, but most of all come with questions and a smile! All levels welcome! Please bring knees pads or a yoga mat. Alchemy will offer their workshop on Saturday, March 8th from 230PM-430PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA

Sunday March 9

Ashwathy Nair and Michael Bartenfeld: Members of the UGA Bhangra Team, Bulldawg da Raaj, they will be teaching their signature style. They will be offering their workshop on Sunday, March 9th from 10AM-12noon. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA

Lauren Prince: African Dance Workshop-Come and take part in this foot-tapping, arm-swinging, hair flying workshop! This African Dance workshop will surely move your feet and make you sweat! Many of the dances are from West Africa and therefore has very fast and energetic beats. This workshop will teach the basics of West African dance but it will definitely give a good and high-energy workout. Following the teaching of the basics, will be choreography. The choreography consists of dance moves that are warrior moves and moves to welcome in peace, fertility, and happiness. Be prepared to let yourself go! Experience the high-energy and fast rhythms that'll make you want to go to the motherland. Lauren will offer her workshop on Sunday, March 91 from 1230PM-230PM. Location: Augusta Fencing Club 134 9th St Augusta, GA

Fabulous Show and Dinner!

Sanura — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:22:13 GMT

The last Sunday of the month don't miss Yasmine performing at Sofram's Turkish Cuisine Restaurant. To have the opportunity to watch Yasmine dance is such a wonderful treat. She did one long set last night starting at 7:00pm. It was such a joy! And then to enjoy a wonderful meal, good wine and time with friends was icing on the cake! And to top that off, Yasmine has door prize give-aways! Some lucky guy won a $25 Gift Certificate to Sofram's last night and a Bellydance Calendar! So make a date to come join Yasmine and us regulars!

Private Lessons with Yasmine

Sanura — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:31:31 GMT

Last night I had my first private lesson with Yasmine. She is awesome! I needed to go over the cane dance for the recital and I wanted her to critique my solo. She gave me some great suggestions on arm placement and a few steps. But most of all she gave me encouragement and support. I can't express how much it meant to me and how it has given me a boost on how I feel about my dancing abilities.

I've been on tribe for awhile and I read the posts that both teachers and students write and I really feel sad for those who do not have a supportive and truly caring teacher/mentor.

Thank you Yasmine for your kind words, your honesty, your support and your friendship.
