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 Fest Number 9 May 2009
Here is a HUGE Tribal event coming up next year- plan now if you want to go!
Ban-dal will be there, soaking up the workshops, shopping and general dance-obsessiveness everyone there shares : )

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. Right now we are focusing on basic/introductory movements, and are beginning to add some layering exercises and other drills to hone technique and stamina.
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.)
Take advantage of these extra classes!
If you prefer to wait till the next term, (dates TBA), see my instruction page. Hope to see you and Happy Dancing!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
I can hardly believe it is a new year already! 2008 was a rollercoaster ride, and I am full of hope for 2009.
With milestones like New Year's, resolutions fly thick and fast, because we catch our breath and reflect on (and learn from, ideally) the past and focus on our collective priorities for these days and weeks and months ahead.
If one of your desires for 2009 is to get strong, fit, flexible, and fabulous.. come dance!
If your focus is on developing your inner self... come dance!
If you want to make new friends or just have fun... come dance!!!
Are you ready to DANCE?!?!?!
January 7th, 7 p.m. Anaheim Family YMCA....
Be there!!!!

What's new with moi???
OH so many things! To begin, the last month saw me jet-setting away to performances in exotic locales like Idyllwild and Tempe, Arizona. Ah, the highlife. Actually, I had the most fantastic time in both locations.
I am also now a commissioned choreographer- cool, eh? I have been requested to put together a nice little homage to Michael Jackson for Burger King, which has already provided WAAAY more amusement than I anticipated.
Several tribal events are coming up at which I will be performing with Ban-dal. I will also just be playing at some of them :) Oh the shopping! More info on which will be which coming soon.
I will also be performing solo at a new OC event: the Gypsy Groove Showcase in Foothill Ranch at 7 pm on October 4th. What will I perform? Come find out! There will be lots of other fantastic dancers as well, so come support your local dance community, ok?
More info soon!!
