due to the holidays. We will be having class all other days and will begin January with the Wednesday class 1/2/2008.
This has been a wonderful month! Thank you so much for making classes such a great experience. In the Essentials class this month we will be completing our section on undulations and upper body isolations and working on traveling and combinations based on what we have learned. For the Combining the Elements class we will be working on a variety of different transitions and styles in preparation for starting the new year.
For everyone: If you have any requests for specific styles or dance movements you would like to learn in 2008, please let me know and I will make sure I have them in our lesson plan.
Upcoming Events

The Oasis - A Beautiful Workshop and Two Shows!
Oasis Workshops and Shows 11/2007
~Workshop with Gina~
11/17 - Jillanna and Merry Bellies of Ringgold, GA, sponsored a workshop by Gina of Atlanta. Gina taught a lovely modern Egyptian style drum solo choreography and, as always, was wonderful! I highly recommend any workshop with Gina for dancers interested in Americanized Egyptian or modern Egyptian style. She is truly fantastic!
~Gems of the Oasis Show~
The show was fantastic as well - It was held at Barking Legs Theatre in Chattanooga, TN, and included very talented dancers from around the Southeast. It was a great location and the dancers were all so much fun! I highly recommend any of Jillanna's events. You can see video of my classical Egyptian style performance here:
~Underground Oasis - Experimental & Gothic Show~
This show was a definite treat! There were dark gothic numbers and more airy fantasy numbers by local artists and invited guests. Liora performed in both shows and did an absolutely beautiful job. She is such a fun dancer to watch. She also taught a mini-workshop the next day, but I wasn't able to attend this time. I do love her classes and recommend her to anyone interested in tribal fusion belly dance stylings! I danced in the show as well in my peacock theme and loved the chance to do something a little different. It is always fun to work with different styles on occasion. You can view the video of my more fantasy-styled performance here:
