Hey Everyone! I'll be teaching four classes a week starting in January in two convenient locations: Joy of Motion's Atlas Arts Center in Washington, DC, and Saffron Dance in Arlington, Virginia. The classes at each location are slightly different and each class will have a distinct curriculum.
~~~Monday Nights: Joy of Motion Atlas Arts Center. 1333 H St NE, Washington, DC.~~~
Session runs from January 7th to March 17th.
Registration: www.joyofmotion.org/Winter%2...is(1).htm
Beginning I :: 8:00pm - 9:00pm
Beginning I will focus on building body awareness, increased strength and stamina, and tribal posture using a combination of classic tribal style moves and the Suhaila Salimpour format with a pronounced emphasis on strong technique. The class will focus heavily on muscular movement, and students will learn about the history of the tribal style and its context within the worldwide belly dance community. This class is open to all students of belly dance who are willing to sweat in class and be sore the next day.
Beginning II :: 9:00pm - 10:00pm
Please note pre-requisites*
Beginning II classes will build on the basics taught in Beginning I such as glute-driven hip work, undulations isolated in the torso, and American Tribal Style movements, and will introduce more complex elements such as muscle locks, three-quarter shimmies, traveling hip work, full-time isolations, and non-Middle Eastern musical interpretation.
* Students must have at least two semesters of Asharah's Beginning I classes OR be Level I certified in the Suhaila Salimpour format. Serious study with certain other instructors can also fulfill this pre-requisite, but please e-mail Asharah at asharah@asharah.com if you aren't sure if you're ready for this class.

~~~Tuesday Nights: Saffron Dance, 3260 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA.~~~
Session runs from January 8th to May 4th.
Registration: www.saffrondance.com/register/index.html
Starting next January, Saffron Dance will begin its new Tribal program, created by myself and ATS-devotee Jennifer Hodge. We're incredibly excited to present this comprehensive tribal program that aims to create well-rounded students by giving the technique foundations to pursue American Tribal Style bellydance (FCBD format) or tribal fusion styles.
Tribal I :: 7:15pm - 8:15pm
This class has been created for dancers seeking to develop the fundamental posture, alignment, and technique for a broad array of tribal belly dance styles, from American Tribal Style (ATS) to its modern fusions. Technique builds from week to week through structured drilling exercises based on the Suhaila Salimpour format* and ATS (group improvisation) created by Carolena Nericcio and FatChanceBellyDance. Students will also develop strong posture, arm positions, hip work, torso isolations, and basic foot patterns specific to the tribal style. This class follows an organized approach to building the basic elements of tribal and is perfect for students who have never been exposed to tribal belly dance. No dance experience is necessary.
*Asharah is not an official instructor for the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance, but Suhaila Salimpour has given permission for Asharah to use the Suhaila Salimpour format in her classes.
Tribal II :: 8:15pm - 9:30pm
This class builds on technique developed in Saffron Tribal 1 by using more advanced elements of the Suhaila Salimpour and FatChanceBellyDance formats, as well as Asharah's own signature dance vocabulary. This class will work to develop core strength, stamina, isolations, and musical interpretation. Classwork emphasizes the breakdown and drilling of each element. Students will incorporate technique and movement into traveling and combinations with a focus on execution and precision. A minimum of 6 months prior experience study with Asharah is required for registration.
