My passion is teaching/ sharing the dance.To date few classically trained dancers locally are interested in learning the dance.I want to help change that. I never imagined becoming a Belly Dancer as I never knew anything about it growing up - I only knew Ballet , Modern, Jazz,Tap.I learned by accident, at a Y. It suddenly changed my dance life but also it was as if I landed on a different planet. Question? Barb@thedancingspirit.com 4013389905. Visit studio, ( a genie bottle on the river ;). I teach privates, groups and 2 hr workshops.......... To dance with a 3 yrd silk veil ( I have many) is like taking flight. Dancing with a gypsy skirt ( my collection) is amazing.Learn the rhythms , play zills, hear music differently forever and you dance to all music a new way.
FREE event. All Dance style performers welcome

ReplyDeleteIf you've never taken a Belly Dance class you might think,My belly is too big or I have a belly to shake but the Belly showing isn't important.Belly Dance in essence is folk dance,for all ages,for parties & shows. The dance of isolations,posture,rhythms,grace is like learning a new body language.Students often try just for fun and discover physicality,not in other dance forms.
ReplyDeleteLearning controlled circles,pushes,lifts,drops,steps,rhythms is different and interesting. A student learns how to move one hip to a rhythm with chest up, a step and a smile. Some ask "How long does it take to be good ?" Answer - As long as you want to practice. Some ask "Good for my belly?" Answer It is great for whole body.Belly Dance can grow you as you learn the dance because it is creative expression,fitness,weight loss,self esteem,confidence,posture.Other classes are tights, leotards and sweats.In a Belly Dance class you can wear what every you feel most comfortable in but you can add a pretty hip scarf, dance with a 3 yd silk veil or swish a skirt - voondebah
My 2011 dance goal is to share the vocabulary of Mid East Oriental Belly Dance ( dance of many names) with as many classical dancers as I can. I am a rare cross( there aren't many anywhere) over from one dance world to the other.No matter how many dance conventions, or dance magazines there are Mid East Dance is not introduced or embraced by classical dancers. I understand there is only so much time and money for everything but I learned this new/ old dance form ,which changed my life, opened up new dance doors, a dance education about not only the vocab, but rhythms, costumes etc . I write because I want so much to share and connect my two dance worlds. Unlike other dance forms you don't have to study it for years to be good and if you are already a trained dancer you have a leg up. When a classical dancer is given a 3 yard silk veil to dance with for the first time it is an amazing experience, the same with a skirt - I can say from first hand experience.Thanks for reading. Happy summer.
