Belly Dance Evolution is here!

October 11, 2010

We are honored to host Belly Dance Evolution at our Tenleytown studio this week. Workshops start tonight!

You can see the full schedule of workshops here.

This is a unique opportunity to dance with Jillina and the cast of Belly Dance Evolution. There are still spots available in many of the workshops (but they are filling fast)!

Complete the week with these fantastic dancers by attending the “Immortal Desires” performance on Saturday. Raqs Sahara will open the show and our very own Sahara dancers Chiaki, Leila, and Gabby are performing in the show.

This is an exciting week at Sahara Dance. We hope to see you at the workshops and show!

Tuesday Workshop: Introduction to Tribal Belly Dance!

August 23, 2010

Introduction to Tribal Belly Dance

This workshop will introduce the fundamentals of Sahara Style Tribal, characterized by rhythm-based combinations, structured improvisation and folkloric fusions. Ideal for those curious about tribal belly dance and/or interested in joining Raqs Caravan West. Tribal dancers share basic movement vocabulary, standard dance formations, improvisational cues and transitions to create pieces improvisationally as a tribe. Tribal dance often fosters friendships; a strong sense of community can evolve from improvising as a group. Prerequisite: Beginner II Belly Dance and above.

Date(s): Tuesday, August 31
Time(s): 6:00-10:00 pm
Teacher(s): Ami
Location: Sahara Dance Central
Cost: $65 in advance / $80 same day
