When I began my study of American Tribal Style Bellydance in 1994, I never would have
believed what a huge part of my life this dance would become!  After having the great
fortune to study with Carolena Nericcio and FatChanceBellyDance, I moved to Bend,
Oregon, in 1998, and began to teach.  What began as a living room class has since grown
into 3 nights a week of instruction, the performing troupe, Gypsy Fire, and the student
troupe, Sister Fire!  I have continued my studies of dance through workshops with such
teachers and troupes as: Gypsy Caravan, Ultra Gypsy, Zafira, Urban Tribal Dance Company,
Ansuya, and others; as well as being currently Level 1 certified in the Suhaila Salimpour
format, and am training to be certified in the FCBD format of ATS.

Basics 1:  Beginning Tribal.  Gypsy Fire Bellydance will be offering one more Beginner Tribal Bellydance session for 2007!  This
Mini-session of 4 weeks will cover some of the fundamental moves and concepts of American Tribal Style Bellydance,  a modern
fusion of traditional Middle Eastern dance moves, formatted to work improvisationally as a group.  This is a progressive course:
each week will focus on one new slow, and one new fast move, and will build upon prior week's information.  You will be dancing
in your first class!!!  Please wear comfortable clothing:  tank top, leotard, with leggings, long full skirt, or "yoga pants".  Please no
baggy T-shirts or jeans:  fitted clothing allows the instructor and you  to see the movements more clearly.

  • September 9 - October 28 (8 weeks)
