Project Belly Dance in Baltimore, Nov 19-21 2010!


Ok. secret revealed. I was chosen as one of the 25 applicants from all over the world for Project Belly Dance. I was in Baltimore competing all weekend. We had a ton of challenges. Good news: in our 1st challenge, we were put in random groups, given a 5min song and told to choreograph it. We did it in 5hrs, and WON THE CHALLENGE!!! I had SO much fun:).. Stay tuned: the webisodes will be up in early 2011.

Tuscan Tribal 4: CERA BYER a Firenze, 30 Gennaio 2011



Tuscan Tribal: The first event in Tuscany, based in Florence, dedicated to all things Tribal, to all things Fusion, and to all things new, innovative, and unusual in the belly dance world, beginning with Sharon Kihara in 2008.

Tuscan Tribal: Il primo evento in Toscana, basato a Firenze, dedicato a tutto cioe che e Tribal, tutto cioe che e Fusion, tutto cioe che e particolare, innovativo, inusuale nel mondo di belly dance. Inizio nel 2008 con Sharon Kihara.

L'dea nasce dal personale interesse nella innovazione che arrichisce il mondo di bellydance, dalle artiste visionarie, particolari, con qualcosa di nuovo da esprimere; e dal bisogno di portare queste artiste vicino alla mio nuovo habitat. L'obbietivo di questi eventi e di dare un'opportunita concreta per le danzatrici appasionate dello stimolo e della crescita in quest'ambiente; appasionate del cercare sempre nuovi modi di vedere il mondo della danza intorno a loro.. Nuovi punti di vista sul un'unico argomento: fusion bellydance/fusion dance. Siamo determinati di darvi l'occasioni di crescita veramente uniche, con artiste che hanno fatto un percorso personale ed impegnativo, artiste che sono capaci di aprirvi la mente e stimolare la vostra curiosita.

This event was born out of a personal interest in the visionary, in the innovative, the unusual and creative aspects of bellydance. Better yet, it was born of interest in new ways of looking at, and of examining, the same topic: fusion bellydance and fusion dance; and of a practical desire to bring artists who pursue this path, closer to my current habitat. I strive to bring you those artists who can keep your ming opening, who can keep you guessing and growing.

Dopo Sera Solstice a Firenze l'anno scorso,quest'anno abbiamo: la favolosa CERA BYER ♥, a Firenze 30Gen2011. Dal 6 Settembre sono aperte l'iscrizioni... dettagli evento aggiornati!

Ore 11-13 Funk Fusion BellyDance
Funk Fusion Bellydance
Funk Fusion Bellydance brings you Hip hop, Pop n' Lock, and Funk flava, with intense, high energy conditioning and drills. Our warm up will focus on layered isolations including syncopated body rhythms, layering two and three dimensional movements simultaneously, and traveling shimmy layers. Then we'll move on to funk fusion techniques and combos that you can use, deconstruct, or utilize to create your own! Come away challenged, inspired, and with lots to work on at home.

Ore 13-14 Pausa. Ci saranno rinfreschi/merende, in loco

Ore 14-16 Choreography and Movement Invention
Movement Invention & Choreography for Bellydance
Movement Invention & Choreography for Bellydance is all about destroying boundaries, incorporating gestural movement, and working contemporary staging, costuming, and choreographic techniques into your Bellydance vocabulary. Our warm up will focus on developing movements that start in Bellydance and then take a sharp left, exploring space and growing outward from the center. Then we'll move into movement invention techniques, and begin to develop our own movements that we can use in creating combos and choreographies.
We will talk about working with solos, duets, and troupes, creativity on a timeline, staying organized, and working collaboratively

Ore 17-18 HAFLA, aperta a tutti i partecipanti del seminario: chi si vuole esibire, contattatemi. Ci saranno bevande, merende e rinfreschi allo stage e alla Hafla, non c'e bisogno di portare da mangiare/bere con se:) La Hafla e gratis per i partecipanti dello seminario, 5euro per gli esterni. Per prenotare un posto per gli esterni, bisogna communicarlo in anticipo: e una hafla riservata in primis agli partecipanti dello seminario.
