Get ready for Summer Fire Circles!

[bethlakshmi]

After I don't know how long of muttering about doing dance class that is really MY style - I'm proud to present

Belly Dance With a Twist
http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/115677

4 Thursdays -  June 17-July 8

At our BABE studio:

119 Braintree St.
Suite 208
Allston, MA 02134


I'm pretty psyched.  I chose not to call it "Lakshmification", because only a select handful of people (those reading this blog), would get it. 

But my plan is just that - I want to give people the building blocks to blend Middle Eastern and Indian dance whether they're doing improv or planning a routine.  I'll end up gearing the class to the level of the students - so consider it "all levels".  Fortunately, I've learned through Indian dance how to keep the experts challenged while not killing the new people!

Agenda will include:

• Some serious but kicking delivered with great joy - death by shimmy and the Indian version - tat'adavu - if you haven't tried it, you won't know how much you hate it.  But it's just want you want to make the Indian stuff look good, and to give you the best derriere that money can't buy.
• Combinations that blend Indian and Middle Eastern.
• Tricks for transitions between the two.
• And the icing on the cake - the pretty little things that make for great dance, no matter what

My biggest focus is going to be improvisation this time.  I'm certainly happy to do a choreography focused class, if there's a demand (?) in the fall.  But for summer season, I think partying at fire circles takes precedence!

Whee!  I hope to see at least some of you there!
