Performance this weekend and new class schedule!

Hey y'all. Just an update from Andalee-town...

Saturday, May 10, I will be performing at Sadiya's Spring Hafla at the United Church of Chapel Hill. Doors open at 6:30, show at 7:00. Tickets are $7. I will be dancing twice; once in a improvisational solo and then again with my troupe, Khahari! It is going to be a blast!

Next up, I have published my new schedule for classes this summer. I am picking up an extra class too. And due to popular demand, I've extended the Sunday class an extra 15 minutes. This will give us extra time to warm-up and cool down.

Here's the info: Beginning Oriental Dance (Belly Dance)

*Sundays, 2:45 - 4:00p
Session runs June 8 - Aug. 24

*Thursdays, 6:30 - 7:30p

Learn traditional Middle Eastern dance movements that have been passed down for generations in this entry-level class. Beginning belly dance is about learning how to connect with your body and spirit. Suitable for all shapes, sizes and activity levels, but you will get a work out! This class will focus on improving flexibility, conditioning the body in order to do the movements properly, and building stamina. You will learn basic belly dance techniques that focus on the core aspects of the dance. Wear comfortable clothes. Pants or shorts are preferred as we will be stretching on the floor. Bring water. Dance shoes, yoga mats and hip scarves are optional. Fees for most classes must be paid by the first class for the entire session.

Fees prorated as session progresses. Signing up for a whole session and attending classes consecutively is strongly encouraged as each class will build upon the previous classes. New students may try one class per session on a complimentary basis. If you decide to enroll, this class will be counted as your first class; payment will be due by the beginning of your second class.
