Performance / Troupe Class

at Gildenfire Dance Studio

10011 13th Ave SW 

located in White Center

~ intermediate to advanced ~

I’d like this to be an organic, student-led experience. This means I will look to students for ideas about what aspect of the dance we should focus on and for inspiration on choreographies. I will continue to bring my interests to the class as well. My intention with this class is to build a community and get geared up for some performances! Past classes have focused on sha'abi, orientale, stylizations of Samia Gamal, expression, stage technique, folkloric dances, zills, floorwork, and work with props (veil, 4-yard veil, sword, fan veils, etc). Non-performing members welcome.

New session: July 11 to Sep 5. Thursdays 6 to 7 pm. $90.00

Belly Dance Basics, every Saturday from Nov 19 through Dec 17 (5 classes) 10 to 11am. I'll break down belly dance moves and make them easy-peasey for beginning students. Intermediate students also appreciate this class because I clarify and simplify many belly dance mysteries, and drill, drill, drill!

Beyond the Basics, every Satuday from Nov 19 through Dec 17 (5 classes) 11am to noon. For intermediate to advanced dancers. Practice unique combos and work on a choreography. My focus lately is Sha'abi music and movement. We'll also fit in any special requests for other props and concepts.
