For thousands of
years humans were empowered with the knowledge that creating your own reality
was a true ability but one ingredient was needed. That ingredient is the moon.
The power we receive from the moon is very similar to what happens to the
tides. we are moved and invigorated by the pull. This helps us stamp and
package our intentions and set them in motion for the next 13 days until the new or full moon (New Moon New Projects Full moon Celebrate the finish of projects) What could
be better than taking some time for ceremony, drumming, dance, and working with
the universe! Come join us as we prove to you that early lunar syncronized humans were on to
something big and that many of them continue to empower themselves to this
date. Let us meet under the moon and dance our life into synchronization with
the planet, moon, and stars.

Queen Harish is like a Classical Indian tapestry come to life. She exudes feminine sensuality when she dances, and captures the hearts of all who watch her. Her candle dance ignites imagination to a far away land of new timeless territories. She swirls and dances, and you can not look away, nor would you want to.

Graceful, Strong, and so very talented, the Queen is everything a performer should be and more. Men are welcome at this special class.

Joy Dances is now a Fat Chance Belly Dance Sister Studio! plus Celadon Tribal Updates!

joyrochelle — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:32:50 GMT

Hello everyone!
I am SO proud to announce that I have been accepted as a FCBD Sister Studio! This means that I am both certified for General Skills/ General ATS training as well as Teacher training and have been selected to uphold ATS 100% in its pure form as taught and presented by Ms Caolena Nericcio and Fat Chance Belly Dance.

From FCBD.com: "Sister Studios are graduates of General Skills for ATS, ATS Teacher Training and exclusive FCBD Teacher Training. These teachers are dedicated to presenting ATS as created and developed by FatChanceBellyDance director and master teacher Carolena Nericcio. Sister Studios do not blend ATS with other styles of dance, tribal or otherwise. They present ATS only, or clearly separate ATS from the other styles of dance they are presenting.
Our goal is that you, the student, should be able to attend a FCBD ATS class anywhere in the world and receive consistent, quality instruction."

New classes are starting this and next week in Shelton and New Haven, respectively!

see her on video on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RtFgo2-NWk

Workshop: Refinement, Alignment, Strength and Attentiveness
Tribal Fusion is an evolving genre reflecting common denominators between North African, Arab, Persian and Turkish secular dance traditions. These classical dance traditions reflect the aesthetic of women's dances and movements dating back over 7,000 years to practices of matriarchal traditions. The dance is presently transforming through interactions with new technology in world music, cultural dialogue between the East and West, and intense international interest in American hip hop and electronic music. The resulting movement values a nominal use of space, percussive hip work, lyrical arm and torso work, and emphasizes musical interpretation over movement bravado.

Donna's workshop summarizes and details the most efficient tools for unleashing the intelligence of the body in dance. Topics covered include breathing techniques, optimal alignment, muscle efficiency and building longevity through precision and strength. Rather than focusing on choreography, Donna will detail cross-training tips from various classical traditions that create a sophisticated and polished dancer. Known for her candor, humor and precision, Donna's thoughtful approach to movement offers completely new perspectives.

Though women many dominate the performance arena for the genre, men are absolutely welcome as participants. Donna's classes are typically vigorous and she recommends athletic attire, yoga mats and bare feet (knee pads optional). Donna respectfully requests that participants with previous injuries or medical concerns please consult her via email before attending for an honest assessment of risk factors.

About Donna:
Donna Mejia is a choreographer, lecturer, teacher, administrator, and performer specializing in contemporary dance, traditions of the African Diaspora, and new fusion traditions in world electronica. She taught at Colorado College for 10 years and was Director of the Colorado College International Summer Dance Festival for the last half of her term.
For twelve years she served as managing director of the award-winning Harambee African Dance Ensemble of CU-Boulder. She continues to teach, choreograph and perform Modern dance, Improvisiation, Hip Hop, Jazz, Arabic Tribal Fusion and traditional dances of the African Diaspora for Colorado College as well as colleges and dance festivals internationally. Donna is an authorized instructor of Brazilian Silvestre Modern Dance Technique.

joyrochelle — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:34:36 GMT

Hello dance friends,

On Sunday January 25th my friend Tava Naiyin and I will join forces to teach an afternoon of workshops at Performance Dance in Norwalk, CT. The topics are:

2-3:30: So, you're thinking about a solo performance? Crafting the cabaret set (part 1) with Tava- This will include veil wraps (and how to get out of them), exciting moves for your entrance and clever ways to engage the audience. This will benefit any dancer who is curious about doing a solo and incorporating veil. Please bring veils and finger cymbals if you have them.

*15 minute break*

3:34-5:15: For the tribal-curious - Introduction to Tribal Fusion with Joy Herbst - Explore the slinky and grounded movements of this popular style. In this workshop, participants will learn basic technique, posture and expression of tribal-fusion style bellydance. Exciting combinations will be taught as well.

Compliation CD's will be available for $5 if you enjoy the music from either of these workshops and water/snacks will be available during the break. Cost is: $30 each 90 minute class or $50 for both (3 hours of instruction). Two discounted spots are available. Contact me for more info.

For more information or to register, email me at: dancingtava@yahoo.com and feel free to pass the attached flyer along!

Jill Parker in the Northeast!

joyrochelle — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:53:51 GMT

Hello lovelies!!! I am trying to coordinate with Jill a weekend of workshops but trying to determine whether once again I want to take it down to NYC or stay more local ( the concerns being wanting to benefit and therefore foster our own community here in New england, but fearful of lack of attendance in our wee corner of the world).

Thoughts?

Workshop Descriptions:
Integrating Tarot and dance as a spiritual practice - Sugati
Throughout history, the tarot has traveled from sacred oracle to sideshow attraction, and then back again to an introspective practice in which we can better know ourselves. Within this workshop we will encounter how our dance can be a healing practice, one that opens a channel from our bodies to our spirits, while still incorporating the mind. Within this relaxed environment we will use improvisational Middle Eastern-inspired dance to power a connection, forming a relationship between the movements that we’ve learned and drilled as dancers and the ancient art of reading the tarot. Revealing how powerful it can be for our bodies to meet and take part within our spirituality.

Circadian, finding your inner and outer rhythm - Katie Bertsche
Rhythms fill our lives, from our waking and sleeping, walking, eating, coming and going...tides, the seasons, day and night, our habits and instincts join us with all dancing living things. And of course, Rhythm is the heart of bellydance. We'll explore together different ways to hear rhythm in music, and how we can translate that into movement. Is the music fast? slow? syncopated? even? Do you express the rhythm in yourself or can you have a conversation with it? What do you do when there apparently is no rhythm...we'll have to make our own!

Pops and Locks Laced with Smoove Slink - Joy Herbst
Are you craving more slink peppered with some syncopated locks in your tribal fusion dancing?
In this class Joy will lead you through style defining drills and exercises to better toggle between snake-like movements
and pops and locks. Combinations will be taught integrating the techniques learned in class.

Free Rhythm Warmup with Chris Phillips
We'll spend some time warming up and going over basic middle eastern rhythms. All drummers, musicians and dancers are welcome to join in. Free.

Begintermediate Dumbek with Dwayne Green
Beginners and intermediate dumbek players will enjoy learning and embellishing basic rhythms with Dwayne.

The Final Gathering - Friday, January 18 at 7:30 p.m.

RadicalBunnny — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 08:09:11 GMT

Parting is such sweet sorrow...

This is The Final Gathering. I can hardly believe it. Sugati and I have been blessed with all your beautiful, creative energies for so long now, it's difficult to think of this as the end.

But end it we must, and we would ask you to cancel all your plans, drive as far as you dare, hear the drummer's call and DO NOT MISS THIS! This promises to be one radically rhythmic wing-ding!

Feel free to bring libations and food (vegetarian at least, preferably vegan) for your own nourishment but to share as well, if you are so moved...

blessings, Chris

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. ~ Orson Welles

Gathering of the Tribal Moon - Friday, January 18 at 7:30 p.m.

We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance ~ Japanese Proverb

Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Charter Oak Cultural Center
Friday, January 18 at 7:30 p.m.
FREE

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, http://tribes.tribe.net/gatheringofthetribalmooninhartford

drum my friends,
drum and dance and wiggle in your pants.
revolution is happening in your hips and hands
let me be free - let you be free too

MIRA BETZ and the women of URBAN TRIBAL from Sunny California

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, http://tribes.tribe.net/gatheringofthetribalmooninhartford

Turkish Roman/Rom Dance workshop at Revive in New Haven, CT - July 21st

Aviva_1979 — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 00:51:02 GMT

TURKISH ROMAN/ROM DANCE WORKSHOP

WITH

JESSAIAH ZURE

July 21st 1~4pm

Jessaiah Zure is an accomplished dancer with 9 years experience in Oriental Dance. She has studied Turkish Roman/Rom dance in Istanbul with Reyhan Tusuz and is now a well known dancer in Istanbul. Born in Vancouver and now living in NYC, we are happy to have her here at Revive for a workshop in this enticing dance form.

Turkish Roman Dance is a street style dance which continuously evolves through different movements and interpretations, being very personal in nature. The movements are focused on a dropping motion of the pelvis, making the belly move up and down. There are also a variety of hand gestures involved which make the dance tell a story.

$50 per person or bring a friend and pay $80 for two. Hafla to follow that evening. Workshop attendees get free admission to Halfla.

Register at Revive Wellness Center.

Benefit for one of our own anyone? X-post

katribaltemple — Wed, 02 May 2007 16:25:47 GMT

I'm sure many of you have already heard about Alyssum and her room mate's tragic misfortune. I read about it here last night( http://melodiapants.tribe.net/thread/1bb9a0ca-c96e-497e-b0fa-8d81fc405923 ) and I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. I can't even imagine... I wanted to send them some things, but there's a size issue.

So, I'm proposing a benefit show and auction to help them out. Anyone else in? You can count in myself and my drummer, for starters.

What say you all?

Hello fellow Connecticut dancers, musicians and overall groovy cats:
I will be holding auditions for a Dark Cabaret and Tribal Fusion troupe within the next two weeks in the New Haven area.

The second will be a combination that I will teach to observe the style that will be characteristic of our troupe as well as evaluating the ability to learn and perform choreography.

All interested parties please message me here or call my cell at 203-640-0530.

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, http://tribes.tribe.net/gatheringofthetribalmooninhartford

Morocco at Yale

Ainsley — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 21:21:46 GMT

Aunt Rocky is coming to Yale!

She will be giving a talk on Middle Eastern dance at a Master's Tea for Silliman College next Friday, March 30th, at 4 p.m., in the Swing Space common room. The lecture is free and open to the public, and I invite all New Haven and CT-area dancers to attend!

Swing Space is a student residence building located at 100 Tower Parkway, next to Payne Whitney Gym. You can see a map of the area here: http://business.yale.edu/map/#building:NRH . The residence's gate and front door are kept locked, but we will try to have students on duty to open them to visitors.

We're very excited to be hosting her, and, as usual, Morocco is not to be missed, if you can help it. I hope to see some of you there!

* Welcoming Kami Friday Night in Hartford! *

RadicalBunnny — Fri, 09 Feb 2007 03:27:03 GMT

Hey all,

Kami is actually coming into Hartford Friday (tomorrow) night and we have a chance to welcome her in true Tribal New England style...

If I can get 15 dancers and/or musicians to commit by 3 p.m. to coming to ArtSPace in Hartford on Friday, February 9th at 8 p.m., I think it'll be worth getting together. It'll be a gathering to welcome Kami with Middle Eastern, fusiony tribal music and dance. We'll have an open floor all night, hopefully with enough drummers/musicians to keep it live but ipod selections will be honored, if necessary. Performances are welcome as well. BYOB, y'all!

If you want to do this, email me at chris.phillips@charteroakcenter.org by 3 p.m. and I'll send out an announcement with all details if we're on, before 4 p.m.

shimmies & finger rolls,
Chris

Gathering of the Tribal Moon - Sunday, February 4 at 7:30 p.m.

*** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ***
The Gathering is a very special place, giving Middle Eastern tribal dancers the opportunity to move with live music and players of all kinds of instruments are welcome to play. I ask that as drummers, we respect the dancers and quieter musicians by playing with them, not against them. For example, djembes, when played full-on African-style can be so overwhelming, players of quieter instruments are drowned out and dancers who frequent the Gathering lose inspiration. So, if we watch our volume and choose appropriate instruments to play, we should be able to hear everyone while keeping the tribal vibe alive... thank you, Chris

Kami performs both as a solo artist and also collaborates with other dancers. She is a guest artist for The Indigo, directed by Rachel Brice, and has also worked with Samantha Riggs of Boom Boom Bollywood on choreography and periodically performs with the company.

What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with the urge to dance and make music and dance some more? Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion making you move on this magnificent night.

The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming together in what was once the oldest synagogue in Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.

Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather every full moon to participate in a truly tribal experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be available as well.

Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event, http://tribes.tribe.net/gatheringofthetribalmooninhartford

Question:

DQ — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 03:10:46 GMT

I recently attended my first PDF burn and am now addicted. I recieved a lot of comments about my dancing, and have become very interested in learning poi, fire spinning, fire fans, etc. and to include belly dancing in that would be incredible. I live in Bethel, is there anything going on (meetings, practices, lessons, etc.) in the Fairfield county area that i could get to? If someone could let me know, that'd be great. Thanks! =) ~DQ

Middle Eastern Drum/World Music Workshop
Michael Beach - bandleader, vocalist, drummer and founder of Portland, Oregon’s Brothers of the Baladi will cover basic Ethnomusicology, instruction on several world percussion instruments (including Dumbek and Riq), and the art of playing for dancers or in an ensemble setting. $25 Pre-registration, $30 at the door.

Charter Oak Cultural Center
21 Charter Oak Avenue
Hartford, CT 06106

The Workshop will cover :
Basic Ethnomusicology - the study of music, culture and instruments from around the world and how it all relates to our contemporary Western world. Special focus on Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Persian, Greek and North African music.
Basic / Intermediate / Advanced demonstration and instruction on Doumbek/Arabic Tabla [Middle Eastern drum], Riq/Daff [Middle Eastern Tambourine], Def/Tar [Frame drums] and drum set [if available] OR with any drums you bring.
How to create and orchestrate your own drum/percussion/music ensemble.
How to make your own instruments and how to utilize and use the regular western instruments you already have.

Michael Beach founded Brothers of the Baladi in Yuma, AZ in 1975 as a backup band for Belly Dancers. Since then the Brothers filial bond has been the music that they perform, create and record. First known for their traditional Middle Eastern music and Belly Dance shows, the quintet now tastefully mixes traditional ethnic acoustic instruments [Oud, Saz, Kanoon, Arabiic Tabla, Zurna, Arghul, Davul, Riq & Def] with Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Drumkit, vocals in seven languages [Arabic, Turkish, Armenian, Farsi, Spanish, French & English] and exotic rhythms with familiar grooves. The Brothers of the Baladi are named from the Arabic word baladi [bah-luh-dee] which means country, country folk and people. These five Americans fuse all the traditional ethnic music with the music of their homeland – Rock n’ Roll. After 30 years on the road and 10 CDs distributed nationally and internationally with Allegro Distribution – the Brothers continue as “ Ambassadors of Goodwill “ with their music.
