Teaching goings-on

Submitted by flissy on Tue, 08/23/2011 - 13:35

Holy smokes, people! I have been unbelievably busy and have neglected the upkeep on my blog.

First, ATS Classes in Columbia, MD! I'll be teaching a 6-week session beginning Wednesday, September 14th at One For All Dance in Columbia, MD. Fundamentals and Drills (Level 1) on Wednesdays at 7pm, and Combinations and Formations (Level 2) on Wednesdays at 8:15pm. The studio is beautiful, and is conveniently located nearby 29, 32, and 95, so it is easily accessible if you're coming from DC or Baltimore.

Also, I'm super excited to be a part of the Alter Ego Workshops and Hafla! I'm teaching a workshop on yoga for bellydancers. We'll be exploring meditation and simple exercises to get you moving from a more inspired place.

Alter Ego Workshop

I'm super excited to be a part of the Alter Ego Workshops and Hafla! I'm teaching a workshop on yoga for bellydancers. We'll be exploring meditation and simple exercises to get you moving from a more inspired place.

It started as a simple question on Facebook: If you could explore a dance alter ego, what would it be?

In this spirit of experimentation, some of the best regional teachers have created workshops to challenge you, set you free and let you explore your flipside. It's an event like Baltimore's never known and sure to expand you as a dancer, performer and persona.

Workshops by Belladonna, Eugenia, Flissy, Lyra & Spiral, Makeda Maysa, Naimah, & Shems!
And one rocking hafla, Saturday 9/24, doors at 7:30pm. Hafla tickets are $15.

Workshops: $35/each, with special weekend and multiple workshop packages!

Yoga for Letting Go of Your Ego
Saturday, September 24th, 4-5:30pm
Yoga can be helpful cross-training for bellydance not only to generate strength and maximize range of motion, but also to liberate the mind so that creativity can flow more freely and projection in performance can be improved. The practice will include exercises that will help you erase tension from your body and mind, and improve your awareness of how your body likes to move. The workshop will culminate in a freeform practice so you can experiment with your newfound self-expression, followed by a brief discussion. Please bring a yoga mat.

Hey there bellydancers!

There will be no class on February 10th due to the snow. The session will be extended to February 24th so we can make up the class.

Stay safe and warm, everyone!

Kallisti Tribal Hosts the Electric Maid ATS Mixer
My troupemates and I are super excited about this one! The Mixer is a low-key event for dancers to flex their improv muscles outside of class or performance in an intimate, sharing community arts venue. No pressure, no recital, no judgement, no costumes, just time to mingle and dance with the far flung MD/DC/NoVa community.

I hope to see you out dancing soon! Please stay in touch!
Om Shanti!
