From Quinn:

Hello,

Fall is here, and what better time to start a dance class? Come discover the joy of bellydance with Gypsy Fire!

Gypsy Fire Bellydance offers beginning classes in American Tribal Style Bellydance. ATS is a modern form of bellydance that combines traditional movements from the Middle East with elements from India and Spain. ATS is a group style of dance, and is done Improvisationally: dances are created in the moment.

This 6-week foundational course will cover the basic movements of ATS, playing finger cymbals, as well as some stretching and flexibility exercises: you will be dancing in your first class!

Class starts Tuesday, October 4.
Time: 8:00-9:00 pm
Location: Terpsichorean Dance Studio, 1601 NW Newport Ave.
Tuition: $55/ 6-week class card

Thank you,

Each class begins with drills and belly dance conditioning exercises followed by an in-depth approach to learning the essential slow and fast movements that are key to dancing ATS. From day-one you’ll learn the concept of group improv and how to connect with fellow dancers as you learn the art of dancing American Tribal Style. This is a progressive course that helps you build a basic repertoire in the 6-week series.

Dress requirement: New to Tribal Style? Just wear comfy, stretchy pants (like yoga pants), and a tank top, sports bra or yoga top. Large scarf or triangle piece of fabric that can be tied around the hips (we call this a hip shawl or hip scarf) is helpful but not required.

Tuition:
$50/for 6-week series
$10/for drop-in, OK to drop-in the first 2 weeks of class only.
RSVP is required. Please send me an email confirmation to hold your space.

Instructor: Classes are taught by Kathy Stahlman, former member of Fat Chance Belly Dance, the troupe that created the legend.

Happy dancing!
