What is Tribal Fusion Bellydance?
I am now teaching Tribal Fusion at Fit 4 U studio. The first 2 weeks have been fantastic! We had a good turnout, with really dedicated students who are going to make great tribal dancers :) Class will be at 6 pm and go until 7:15.
If you have ever wondered what Tribal Fusion is exactly, or have seen it and wanted to try it without committing to a full session, here's your chance to find out if it's for you!
If you need an extra incentive, every month we have a "Meetup Special": an Introduction class hosted by the Costa Mesa Belly Dancers Meetup group! Your next opportunity to experience this dance phenomenon is February 6th!! This class will give everyone a chance to meet me, too, so I hope to see you there!
Tribal Fusion Bellydance is an exciting new dance form that fuses world dances such as Flamenco, Indian and the folkloric dances of the near and Middle-East with a modern aesthetic. Tribal Fusion is an amazing body conditioning workout through which every dancer can express her own style. It's AWESOME! :)
Tribal Fusion - Join us for Class, Dinner, then Open Dancing!
Girls- only Event!!
Come join us for a special evening of fun and food!
Fit4UStudio and Orchid Persian Restaurant are hosting a dance party on February 6th!
We will have our normal class-Intro to Tribal Fusion with Sarah al Nour - and then we will all head over to Orchid Persian Restaurant for luscious food- you can get dessert or dinner or whatever you like- everything there is yummy!
I hope you can all come and play :)
So what can you expect from this class?
Intro to Tribal Fusion Bellydance gives students an understanding of this exciting dance form that fuses world dances such as Flamenco, Indian and Middle-Eastern folkloric dances with a modern aesthetic. Tribal Fusion is a relatively new dance style that is powerful, sensuous and provides amazing body conditioning that will leave you sleek, strong and sexy :)
This is one dance workout in which EVERY dancer can express her own style. For more on Tribal Fusion click here: http://www.tribalbellydance.org/
For more on Sarah al Nour (intructor) click here: http://www.bellyssimadancer.com/
MEETUP SPECIAL: FEBRUARY 6 ONLY!!!
Meetup Class Price is $15 prepaid/$20 at the door. If you pre-pay for the month of February, you will get the $15 prepaid price for the whole month ($60).
This offer is ONLY valid on this meetup date.
PS from Sarah: As a"Starving artist," I completely understand the financial challenges we are all facing. I would love to teach for free (and eat for free...), but since that's not possible, I must charge. BUT IF ANYONE needs a little assistance, try to convince 3 friends to come along! Fit4U has a policy that if you bring 3 referrals, you get your class for free!! (And if they each bring 3 friends, they will get it for free, etc!)That is pretty awesome! Even if you can just bring 1 friend, and she buys a Studio package, you will earn a free class!

SHOPPING THAT GIVES BACK!
I don't know about you, but I really enjoy Christmas shopping (ok and most kinds of shopping...)
At this time of year, however, most stores are packed and people are frazzled. So why not skip the stress and shop online? Better yet, why not shop from stores that actually help people who are in need? When you shop from these sites (below), you can find plenty of fun gift ideas that contribute to a better life for the world around us! Shopping on World of Good on ebay causes a percentage of the final sale price to go to the charity of the seller's choice, and often offers eco-friendly goods as well, while the Greater Good Network has several different stores that feature fun, eco-friendly clothes, gifts, toys, jewelry, etc. that directly benefit people across the globe and in our own backyard- even the furry ones! If you don't want to shop or can't find anything you want to buy (!), you can also click to donate (it's free). Every click provides mammograms, food, books or other necessities to people (and animals) in need, and even preserves rainforest acreage. Why not go beyond gift-giving and really HELP? And you might even discover for yourself how much better it can be to give rather than receive.....

Hey all!
Well, my classes have been underway now for a while and are coming along nicely.
If you are curious to see what my class is like, feel free to drop in- it only costs $7/drop -in!!!!! Even though classes run on a 10 week system, you can come by anytime as every class begins with a fundamentals review, and anyone can jump in and have fun regardless of "level."
We meet Wednesdays, from 7:00-8:00 pm.
The classroom is huge and clean, well-lit with wood floors and mirrors- a great location. COME CHECK IT OUT!! You can sign up for the class during your first visit if you want to join.

As always, I can provide performance opportunities for interested dancers.
Even though this class is technically ended (term is from 9/17/2008- 11/5/2008), we have added on some extra classes due to an extended break I took from teaching (due to family and health issues.)

The GYPSY GROOVE bellydance showcase on October 4th : THIS SATURDAY! is going to be a blast- I have lots of friends coming to check it out, which always makes me happy, and I also have a really yummy piece to present! so please stop by, grab something to munch or a delicious hot drink, and savor the mystery and beauty of dance! --------------

I LOVE FALL!!!!
Even though this has been a rollercoaster of a year, I always breathe easier when fall arrives. I love Autumn colors and the change in the air, the shorter days and longer nights.....not to mention all the dress-up parties! SO what is going on with dance, you may ask. The GYPSY GROOVE bellydance showcase on October 4th : THIS SATURDAY! is going to be a blast- I have lots of friends coming to check it out, which always makes me happy, and I also have a really yummy piece to present! so please stop by, grab something to munch or a delicious hot drink, and savor the mystery and beauty of dance! --------------

OK!!! With the Gypsy Groove showcase behind me, what could be next? A Bellydance MEETUP!! The OC Bellydance connection is having a meetup November 25th at Sophia's Greek Restaurant in Placentia and I am one of the dancers who will attempt to distract you from your luscious food :) Details coming soon.....
November 13, 2008
hey peeps!
I will be performing in a small showcase on the 25th of this month at Sophia's Greek Restaurant in Placentia. Bit of a drive, I know.
The show starts around 6 and the food is AMAZING.
There is no fee, but they do expect you to buy food or drinks. This will be a showcase for local dancers, and there will be lots of amateur and established dancers- should be fun!
Info can be found here: http://www.meetup.com/OC-Bellydance-Connection/calendar/8824150/ ( Because this is hosted through meetup.com, the organizers will be asking meetup members to donate- you don't have to do this, but feel free to tip the dancers, eh?)
I also have some REALLY big news, which some of you already know. If you want to know what it is......ask me!!! (TEASER! i will be posting it later.....)
Also, if you would like to be added to my "update list" ( mini-newsletter-ish mailing sent out with haphazard frequency), then send me an e-mail: bellyssimadancer@yahooo.com and I will add you to the list, ok?
Hope to see you all soon!

Welcome to my blog!
This is my new blog home. I am unpacking all the dishes and picking out where all of the furniture is going to go, so pardon the dust! I am switching my blog here for now, since my website does not provide the blog opportunities I need, tribe keeps crashing, xanga is dead and myspace is blocked at work :) Keep your eyes on this space to get into the mind of a dance-mad Maenad!
