The Two Ssssss…Shimmies and Spins
This 1 ½ hr workshop will focus on two things that seem to have many dancers stumped:
¾ shimmies - both ¾ up and ¾ down. This workshop will help in better understanding how to do the ¾ shimmy while moving/ walking.
Spins and turns – an easy method of learning to spot and to turn without wobbling
and in a control manner. This skill can be used in any form of dancing – not just
Bellydancing.

Flavors of ATS
This 1 ½ hr workshop is a sampler of the movement vocabulary from FCBD ATS –
-the basic movements will be cover along with some of my favorites. American Tribal Style Belly Dance (ATS) is an improv form of belly dance created by FatChanceBellyDance director, Carolena Nericcio. Improv tribal dance is based on the concept of lead and follow. Specific cues allows a group of dancers to dance together without having to follow a specific choreography. The followers watch for cues to know what movement is being called by the leader and provides the ability to bring dancers together in dance. Note: Please bring your zills – it will be used in this class.

Re: Spring Bellydance Workshops in Columbia, MD - ATS/Nubian/ Etc
Fri, March 27, 2009 - 7:51 AMThank you so much for this listing! I'm looking to attend beginner belly dancing classes in late spring or this summer. I would start sooner, but I'm still severely disabled and in a wheelchair; however by last spring/early summer, I should be ready to start ! YAY! My main problem finding classes is that they have to be indoors and last only 15-45 minutes at a time; any longer than that and I WILL faint.
In addition to taking classes, I'd like to offer my services as a beaded jewelry and accessory maker. You can either choose from what I have on hand or I will design a piece just for you! Also, if you don't want to pay for it, I'm all about trading my products for other items or services. Please be sure to check out my current website at www.venusdesigns.artfire.com.
So to summarize this message:
1) Are there any DC/Baltimore area beginner belly dancing classes available this spring/summer that only last 15-45 minutes per session?
2) I'm willing to trade my handmade beaded jewelry & accessories for other items or services - all items can be 100% personalized!
Best regards to all!
