Schedule
NEW Schedule for Fall 2008:
>>After completing my White Belt training and certification last summer in an entirely different approach to fitness and dance, called The NIA Technique, I am pleased and excited with how classes have gone since I began teaching last fall.
Please check out my website: www.nia-joyinmotion.com for all details on this very unique opportunity that is sweeping the country, as well as going global! M.E. students will find satisfaction in knowing that some of NIA's core movements are also M.E. moves and the wonderful World Music compilations that are used in NIA routines also routinely incorporate Arab music!
>>Announcing New Belly Dance classes!: Although my focus is working with my troupe, "Raqs Shuvani", people are beginning to ask for classes again. And! we are always on the lookout for potential troupe dancers. That being said, many of you are looking to "try on" belly dancing and take classes for sheer pleasure and fun.There is no pressure to do otherwise. Becoming a member of Raqs Shuvani is by invitation or audition only.
>>CLASSES resume in FALL of 2009. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFO CAREFULLY!: This will be determined strictly by interest level. If you are at all interested, I strongly urge you to contact me soon at the e-address on this site so that you are entered into my mailing list for future interest. I keep a running list of those interested to determine whether we will have enough to hold the classes.
>>Beg/Intermed. Technique: Mondays/3:30-4:30
>>DATES: Sept. 14th-Nov. 23rd...ending before Thanksgiving.
>>FEE: $115...NOTE: a strict registration deadline for this price: BY Labor Day/Sept.7th
>>DEPOSIT w/registration is required: $20. This is NON-refundable and is applied to the balance of the fee. BALANCE is due before or at the first class!
>>EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!: pre-register w/deposit BY JUNE 1st to rec'v this discount price: $100!
>>PACKAGE DEAL!: class from 3:30-5:30 for $165....This is designed for those of you who would like to take what you are learning and experience learning a choreography, so you will be staying for the 2nd hour with the troupe. The first thing to be taught is a new Drum Solo (which traditionally closes a show) and is an energetic way to jump in!
>>IMPORTANT: space IS limited, so your deposit NOW insures that your spot is reserved for the fall!
>>CLASS DESCRIPTION: Students will be intro'd to BD basics: history, basic steps/technique, working with diverse rhythms, and lastly, intro to diverse styles w/primary focus on Egyptian & Turkish Romany (Gypsy) styles of the dance. Folkloric, as well as classical and contemporary will be thrown into the mix as things unfold.
>>Lastly, I will continue to offer Private/Semi-private classes - for Intermediate - Advanced only. Please contact me via the e-address on this site to schedule a class and discuss fees.
