Kajira’s Tribal Workshop August 14, 2010

Kajira is coming to Sioux City, Iowa all the way from Maui, Hawaii to give us her American Tribal Style Belly Dance lessons as only she can do! You will receive a certificate for completing this workshop with Kajira.

Kajira is the author of the definitive resource for American Tribal Style Belly Dance, The Tribal Bible; Exploring the Phenomenon that is American Tribal Style Belly Dance. Kajira teaches and performs dance full-time. Her art is her passion and anchor in today's tumultuous world, and sharing this art is her priority. Through dance and music, Kajira finds that people around the world can transcend their differences and overcome perceived boundaries to achieve oneness and joy. Kajira co-produces the acclaimed themed festival, Tribal Fest, held annually in May. For more information on Kajira: http://www.blacksheepbellydance.com/

Workshop Description

Part 1: The Kajira Djoumahna / BlackSheep BellyDance Format from the Ground Up! For dancers of All Levels! Beginners will not feel “lost” and advanced dancers and teachers will learn new ways to break down steps with cymbals that apply to any style of belly dance. Learn the basics of SGI (aka ATS, ITS), including thorough and surprisingly EASY finger cymbal pattern/s to match your steps and music. Students will learn both slow and fast steps and SGI concepts and what makes a “universal” step different in SGI or ATS as opposed to Oriental or Raqs Sharki. Cymbal pattern handouts will be provided. Please wear yoga or workout clothes so I can see your feet, knees, hips, torso and posture. Bring water and finger cymbals. If you don’t have cymbals yet, go to: www.saroyanzils.com and tell them Kajira sent you!

Part 2: The BlackSheep BellyDance Format Part Two! For dancers of All Levels! The Prerequisite is class #1, above. Herein we will pursue more steps as well as both slow and fast turns, vines, and more. You will also learn our famous “Pestle Rule” which is invaluable for the in-the-moment decisions such as we find ourselves in this fabulous dance style! Please dress in workout wear, bring water and cymbals. Notebooks optional.
