TRIBAL FUSION BELLYDANCE CLASSES
Heather's style of teaching inspires physical fitness, creativity and personal growth in a safe, fun environment. Heather is a healer and brings this knowledge to her classes. Learn to use this beautiful ancient art form to ground, focus and open your heart. Heather draws from experience in American Tribal Style and Egyptian cabaret bellydance, and is sometimes known to add accents of Ancient Indian, African or hip hop dance. Beginner class will focus on specific vocabulary in a clear (and sometimes comical) breakdown, body toning drills and light combinations. Intermediate class will use the vocabulary as a foundation for drills, choreography, ATS format improvisation and creative exercises to develop performance skills. All classes have recitals!!

Heather's Bellydance Class Schedule:
FALL 2010

Mondays

Beginning ATS : Zills and Drills!
6 Mondays September 13- October 18, 2010. 6:30 - 7:30pm

American Tribal Style bellydance is the root of Tribal Fusion. This 6-week course is a great opportunity to nail down your Tribal Style, including finger cymbal work! You will learn basics in both the Fat Chance Bellydance and the Gypsy Caravan formats of American Tribal Style.
Movements will be drilled and worked within formations. Fast moves will be
drilled with finger cymbals.We will stage a short performance at the end of each class using what we've
learned up until that point. By the end of this 6 week session, you will have a greater understanding of ATS
and the 2 formats, be better with your zills, and leading won't seem so scary!
Drop ins are welcome, however please have some basic knowledge of ATS.
6 sessions for $75 if you register on or before September 3! $80 after that.
