Attention Dancers: “Winter Gypsies” February 25, 2012 Workshops are now open for registration!
1. “Rock, Roll, and Undulate” with Alia – 1 Hour Workshop, 12pm – 1pm $25
Alia teaches how to use body rocks and foot patterns to create a variety of mesmerizing traveling undulating movements.
2. Veil Choreography to “Unda” with Lorelei – 1 Hour Workshop, 1pm-2pm $25
Learn the choreo and dance it in the show! Perfect for “Flash-Mob” bellydance – i.e., because it starts slow and ends slow, so it is very easy to start with one dancer, have a whole bunch join in, and then fade away to one or none. Perfect if you have a source of music and can just appear, dance, and disappear within 6 minutes. This choreography by Black Dragon Bellydance contains elements of Vintage Oriental, Turkish, and ITS/ATS Tribal. Bring a veil.
3. ATS® with Irene of Barajagala – 1 ½ Hour Workshop, 2pm – 3:30pm, $30
This workshop is designed for people who have some Bellydance experience, who at least know how to do a taxin (figure 8) and hip bumps. This will be an ATS workshop where Irene will go over some fast and slow moves; some of the steps will be Level 2 moves. In the last 1/2 hour Irene will teach the ATS dance format and have students dancing in groups.

About The Jamila Salimpour Format:
Jamila Salimpour is the originator of tribal belly dance in America. She is also the first one to solidify a format of terminology in belly dance still used today. Her format is taught and applied to dancers' movements worldwide. Jamila’s format includes a very large catalog of movements derived from the nightclub dancers of the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s.
