We are very pleased to announce our 2010 schedule:


10 April-Turkish 9/8 with Shari Bennet Speer-

Turkish “Roman” (Gypsy) dancing is characterized by an energy and
expressiveness that matches the rich and powerful 9/8 rhythms and melodies
that can be heard all over Turkey – as Roman people dance and play music in
the streets, at parties, and at wedding celebrations. Join Shari to get a taste of
the unique foot patterns, earthy hip movements, and rich vocabulary of
gestures that typify this improvisational and unforgettable dance form, and
experience the freedom and joy of Roman Dance for yourself! Please note that
this is
not Turkish Oriental. This is the gypsy dancing that Turkish Oriental has
in its roots.





5 June-Yasmine, "From Combos to
Choreography".
This class will include technique and drilling several combinations leading into a
full cabaret routine. Yasmine will also discuss her thoughts on listening to the
music and a simple way of breaking down the "formula" to creating your own
choreography. Afterwards, there will be a hafla to attend.





13 June-Ann's Sword Workshop, rescheduled.
This is the reschedule from the winter weather that cancelled our first attempt.
Workshops are $30,
unless noted otherwise.
They can be paid in cash
at the door, or by
debit/credit card, via
Paypal. The terms of
service for Paypal
