Raqs Sharqi
Bellydance Basics with Nuwayrah NEW TIMES
Congratulations! You've taken the plunge and have decided to try Bellydancing! Literally translated Raqs Sharki means "Dance of the Near East" but is also referred to as Cabaret. This is the style that most Westerners are familiar with as it is often seen in restaurants, festivals, weddings, and various other celebrations. Traditionally Raqs Sharki is an improvised solo dance, however dancers may also dance choreographed pieces in groups. This is where it all begins! Learn basic bellydance technique and gain a better understanding of this ancient celebration of the female form. We'll put it all together in a fun choreography.
Mondays 7:45 - 9:30pm
Wednesdays 6:00 - 7:30pm

Tribal Fusion
(Stolen from Tania, with love)
Tribal Fusion flowed out of American Tribal Style and is sometimes an improvised art form, but certainly not always. From my humble point of view, I would say that the key word in Fusion style dance is “evolution.” Of course the other styles of bellydance evolve, but they do not appear to me to have evolution and change as the “heart” of their styles. Rather, Cabaret and American Tribal Style provide the solid platform from which Fusion artists can jump in order to create their ever-changing style. Fusion is often associated with harder locks, and a more emotive tone. For some, this means “fusing” hiphop and bellydance. For others, vaudeville and bellydance.
There are a myriad of different combinations to try!
Still not sure? Get to know a little bit about Tania and her classes.
