Tribal Belly Dance: Intermediate Level I - Tribal Fusion(14 week series)Building on the foundation of Beginners Level I and II (or equivalent experience), Tribal Belly Dance: Intermediate (Open Level) introduces the student to the Tribal Fusion style. 'Fusion' here means a sort of modern-dance equivalent of Tribal Belly Dance where elements of modern/interpretive dance, 'popping', as well as many others, begin to take on a more central role. Fusion movements will initially be introduced within the cued, improvisation tradition learned in Beginners Level I and II and then expand into independent fusion movements done to choreography.* *Prior experience or teacher authorization required to take this level. $12 drop in/ $100 for a ten-class card. Get it while it's HOT! This will be Naraya's LAST teaching session for quite some time. So come one, come all and experience the mystical, magical mayhem of Tribal Belly Dance! |

Tribal Belly Dance: Beginners (Open Level) - American Tribal Style (ATS): Zills and Balancing(14 week series)Images of strength, fluidity and mystery swirl around tribal belly dancers from San Francisco to Tokyo, Japan. Drawing inspiration from folk as well as traditional or Cabaret belly dance, belly dance's modern-dance sister, Tribal, has become one of the world's most popular dance forms today. The term 'Tribal Belly Dance' can also refer to a lot of different types of dance. In this series, students will be introduced to a foundation of tribal belly dance, American Tribal Style (ATS) as made famous by Carolena Nericcio, director of Fat Chance Belly Dance. In this class students will learn proper body alignment, basic movement technique and strengthening exercises that lie at the core of tribal belly dance's powerful yet 'ooey-gooey' movement. Additionally students will be introduced to Tribal Group Improvisation (TGI), a cornerstone of the ATS style. Every style of dance has its foundational moves, and Tribal Belly Dance, Beginners Level I endeavors to help students dive right in. THIS SESSION, in addition to basic movements, will focus on zills (fingers symbols) and balancing technique. Ever wanted to balance a sword on your head? Here's your chance! We're gonna be getting a bit fancy this semester so pre-registration is required for this course. A downpayment of $50 will be needed to reserve your spot. $12 drop in/ $100 for a ten-class card. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED for Beginners...pre-register at www.vadalna.com and click on the PayPal pull down button. Get it while it's HOT! This will be Naraya's LAST teaching session for quite some time. So come one, come all and experience the mystical, magical mayhem of Tribal Belly Dance! |

From Deep Within the Earth: The Transformative Power of ShimmyIn this workshop, we explore the shimmy, and all its permutations. In performance, a dancer can use her shimmy to inspire, impassion and enthrall the audience. Through the subtlety of vibration, she can build excitement and heighten anticipation, and, when she unleashes the earthquake power of her strongest shimmy, the deepest and the most elemental energies of life are unearthed, affirmed and celebrated. From the tiniest quiver to the biggest and most profound quaking motion, the shimmy teaches us everything we need to know about power contained. When we work with the shimmy, we combine intensity of focus, with ease of momentum. The result is a movement that is as old as time; and that speaks to the primal and the passionate in all of us. |
