Don't sleep in or watch cartoons-- come out to the Triangle Dance Studio in Durham and learn some cool bellydance moves and combinations on Saturday mornings with me, Sara!
Directions to the studio are available at www.triangledancestudio.com .
The schedule for the class is available at www.sarabeaman.com .
My classes are structured a little differently than most. There is no "beginner", "intermediate" or "advanced" level. Both classes are rigorous and challenging, and are geared towards students who have a serious interest in exploring bellydance as an artform. Please read the descriptions carefully to determine which classes would be a good fit for you.
CORE: (10AM-11:20AM) This class is an exploration of bellydance technique focusing on isolations, posture, kinesthetic awareness, and the biomechanics of movement. Each class will begin with a centering warmup, focus on two to three moves and isolations from the ATS-inspired/Tribal/Folkloric movement vocabulary, and conclude with some group improv.
CORE is the right class for you if...
...you have never taken a bellydance class before
...you can only take classes intermittently (there are no class sessions)
...you want to focus on movement technique
...you want to learn about specific moves (feel free to suggest some either by email or at the beginning of any class)
FLOW: (11:40AM-1PM) This class is an exploration of bellydance performance focusing on transitions, stylization, grace, fluidity and emotion. Flow classes come in 5 to 7 week sessions and students are encouraged to attend as many of those weeks as possible in order to keep up with the curriculum. These classes introduce combinations for choreography and improv that emphasize musicality. Some sessions will focus on special topics (such as a specific style or skill), while others will be combos-into-choreography.
FLOW is the right class for you if...
...you are already familiar with some basic bellydance moves
...you are new to bellydance but want a mental challenge
...you would want to learn and/or perform a choreography with other students
...you would prefer a class with a set curriculum which builds on each previous week of instruction
Each class is 1 hour and 20 minutes in length. The fees are $14 for one class, $24 for both classes in a day, or $60 for a 6-class pass card. (I will keep your pass card and give you a copy for your own reference, but you won't have to keep track of it yourself, so you won't have to worry about losing your credit. Pass cards can be used for either class and do not expire.)
If financial concerns are keeping you from taking a class, please send me an email (skbeaman@yahoo.com). It may be possible that we could set up a fair barter system or some type of work-study arrangement.
You can RSVP for a class or class session by emailing me at skbeaman@yahoo.com. Please include the name of the class you would like to RSVP for and the date in the subject line (example: Flow Jan 1). In the body of your email, please provide me with your name and let me know whether you would like to be added to my mailing list or not. You can also feel free to tell me about your dance background or introduce yourself in any way you would like in the email. I love to know something about my students beyond just faces and names.
You do not need to prepay, or, for that matter, preregister for classes. Space is not a huge consideration. The RSVP is a courtesy to me to let me know how many students to expect in each class.
Please come to class prepared to pay by check or cash if you have not previously purchased a class pass. I can not take credit cards.
I reserve the right to cancel classes or class sessions at any time for any reason. In the event of a cancellation I will make all reasonable attempts to contact any students the change would potentially affect, in addition to posting all changes both on my website and on my blog. Because there is no prepayment system, no refunds will be given in the event of a cancellation.
