About the
instructor:
currently teaches at the Mesa Art Center. She also owns Shimmy Bliss Costuming Co. which caters to the
tribal dancer. Her labor of love website, joyofbellydancing.com
is known worldwide.
After her first belly dance class she was hooked on this beautiful art form and hasn't stopped learning and dancing. It's now her livelihood and life couldn't be better.
Drills and Mad Skills! Tribal Style Drills and Combos
with Cari of Anaya Tribal - 11:00 - 12:30
workshop is 1 1/2 hour - $15
This workshop's drills portion will focus on building the foundational strength and flexibility in the hips, spine, and shoulders to directly support controlled 'floating upper body' dance posture for stage and hip control for percussive movement. The Skills portion of this workshop will include brand new Tribal Style combinations to add to your current repertoire - the tribal grapevine and the triple hip. Even if you have taken all of Anaya Tribal classes you won't have seen these ones! Must have basic tribal knowledge -
Arabic, hip bumps and Egyptian.
About the
instructor:
Tribal 9/8 Technique
with Carrie Konyha - 1:00 - 2:30
Attention Tribal dancers ~Tired of not being able to perform ATS to 9/8 Rhythms? I have devised a family of Tribal moves with cues that work well with performing ATS to 9/8 rhythms. This workshop includes a repertoire of 9/8 tribal belly
dance moves including movement combinations, traveling steps, turns, spins and 9/8 zill playing technique. We will be working mainly with the Karsilama rhythm but these movement techniques will fit with most any 9/8
rhythm. We will spend the first part of the workshop learning the moves and cues and the last part of the workshop will be spend drilling what we have learned in a tribal performance format. All
participants will receive a handout of the moves and cues. BRING YOUR ZILLS!!!!!!!!!
workshop is one hour - $15
About the
instructor:
who teaches & performs nationwide. Her lifelong passion and professional involvement with dance eventually led her to
belly dance 1994, which she has been studying ardently ever since. Being deeply, spiritually inspired by the feminine sensuality and timeless mystique of this dance, Carrie chose to shift her dance career to focus exclusively on
belly dance (and the sacred aspects of the dance) almost immediately upon being introduced to it. Carrie started her first student dance troupe in 1999 (Gypsy Soul Dance company in Ohio) and has since gone on to create and direct 'Syren
Dance Co. and her newest project "White Lotus Bellydance".
