Workshop cancelled!

Fire fan workshop cancelled!
( http://tampa.tribe.net/event/BellyFire-Fusion/dunedin-fl-34698/c98ca5f4-d8cb-4b28-99a7-4d94b1f3e6c9

I'm very sorry to have to announce the cancellation of this event.
I've just been informed that one of the presentors (the one who was to instruct the choreography portion of the workshop) has accepted a conflicting engagement.

I will be refunding the workshop fee to those of you that have paid already. Please contact me if you have already purchased your fire fans from Riz, and we will see what can be done there as well.

Deepest apologies

Hair falls

2008-05-08T21:15:18Z

I have to ask, Are the yarn with fake hair Hair Falls on their way out? My dance troupe has been selling them for a fundraiser and have sold quite a few but a well know tribal dancer in town said they are passe. What are thoughts in other parts of the country (I'm in the mid west). Should we try to make more to sell or stop why we are ahead?

Beautiful costumes (please post links to pictures)

2008-04-29T19:42:43Z

I think it's nice to make a list of example of costumes we really like.

For example I really like this one:

Requirements:

• Dancer should have an intermediate/advanced education in Egyptian/Cabaret style belly dancing. Folkloric dancing is a plus but not necessary. Competent use of zills will be necessary.

• Dancer should have an advanced Tribal/Tribal fusion education. We are not an ATS troupe, but use most movements from the slow/fast ATS vocabulary, as well as many currently popular tribal fusion movements.

• Dancer should be healthy, physically fit, and will be required to be able to make quick level changes, endure extended periods of dancing on the knees, and some floorwork.

• Dancer will be REQUIRED to perform with some sort of fire implement (fans, staff, poi and/or hoop). It is not necessary to already know how to dance with fire, we can and will train you. Dancer will be required to sign a waiver of liability, so you should have medical insurance.

• Dancer should have reliable transportation and optimally live on the Northwest side of Chicago and/or surrounding suburbs. Rehearsals are held in the Palatine area 1 to 2 times per week (Thursday nights and some Sundays), barring any severely inclement weather.

• Dancer is expected to show a high level of professionalism, troupe commitment and a commitment to further their own dance education.

• Dancer is expected to purchase their own troupe-related costume pieces, sew portions of their own costumes and help out regarding costume acquisition and assembly where and when necessary.

• Dancer will be required to sign a troupe charter.

If you said “yes” to all of the requirements and would like to audition, please email us privately at info@midnighttribe.com with a resumé/CV of your dance background, education and performances. Please include a cover letter telling us a little about yourself and what you'd expect from joining our troupe. If after reviewing your information we think you may be a good fit, we will email you with detailed information about the audition process, date, time and location.

Thanks!

2008-04-12T11:45:36Z

Just to let you know that I've managed to get some photos of the new goddess choli and tie front choli, modelled by the lovely Rozie. Please see listings.

I would recommend feedback and some thoughts on new stock colours. I am stocking black, gold and wine in the tie front style but there are 18 colours available altogether. Does anyone prefer pastels?

X post: swords banned in the UK

2008-04-09T16:15:23Z

I am from the states, but i am copying this for her, please read

Hello all.

Please support you sisters in the UK. We are now banned from purchasing dance swords.

Sad news I'm afraid. I have just spoken to Jonathan Batt, at the home office who has confirmed that we (belly and tribal dancers in the UK) are covered in the VCR (Violent Crimes Reduction Bill).
As Belly dancers, we are not covered in the exemptions of being classed as a 'sporting activity' or a Historical reenactment. While we can perform with our existing swords, if you have public liability insurance. You can no longer purchase a new blade.

This is scary thought, as if we are not included in the exclusions to the ban, the art form of sword dancing will ultimately die out in the UK! my sword was broken recently In a workshop when it was dropped. I now can't get a new one....

The only way we can get this changed for all belly dancers is to contact the home office and request that as a dance form that we are allowed to continue to be allowed to purchase swords, so that we can continue with a beautiful art form.

Please, Please take the time to contact Jonathan and request that he put forward to the Home Office that bellydancers and tribal dancers are made exempt from the VCR Bill. He is a nice guy and has agreed to be the contact point for this query. It will take a huge volume of dancers contacting him to make a difference, so please take the time to write to him.

His contact details are Jonathan.Batt@Homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk

Also if you are a member of a tribe, where this is not mentioned, can you please post information there.

Workshops with Amara - San Diego

2008-04-06T04:50:10Z

Amara will be teaching 2 workshops in San Diego
May 4

12:30-2:30
Workshop I - Dynamic Combinations for Any Kind of Music

Amara will drill a series of short combinations focusing on strength, flexibility, balance, isolation, and layering. Then we will rework the combinations by changing their speed, size, and quality (gooey, sharp, and shimmies) in order to assist in our visual presentation of any kind of music.
These combinations and exercises can be applied to create both choreographies and improvisations.

2:45-4:45
Workshop II - Fusion Techniques
Amara takes a unique approach to this emerging form as she presents techniques and tools on how to create Fusion with ANY dance form. Learn the differences between sequential and simultaneous fusion concepts, explore where to find various dance elements to fuse, and discuss issues of when and why to fuse.
Fusion is a great way to add to your current vocabulary, foster creativity, and push your dancing to new heights.

This workshop is appropriate for all levels and all dance forms.

Velvet Peacock Makes Me Drool!

2008-04-05T13:56:14Z

I especially drool over the black sleeveless Ghawazee coat & silver pantaloon outfit Tristen is wearing on the opening slide show. I also love her scoop neck vests. A couple of weeks ago I noticed Tristen was advertising for someone to drill coins for her. I wanted to write telling her, mail them to me in Kansas and I'll drill them for you with my little drill (I did it for my own coin belt) and I'll take it out in trade! LOL

Who has Tristen's designs and are they as mouth watering in real life as the pictures?

music selection

2008-03-27T15:29:09Z

We're more of a tribaret troupe and we're looking for a kick *** song to dance to for a major performance. We are doing a solace song, and Bombay by Timerland...we want something dramatic for the last song, maybe something that has nice sections so each of the troupe can have a moment in the spotlight.. We've been kicking arounds some non-traditional music like bands such as Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails but so far we haven't found anything that we feel works well. We like a moody, gothic sort of start but it needs a kick to it...we're open to suggestions of what other songs/bands we can try. Anything you can suggest and we'll be thankful in our search for just the right song! We want to find something that hasn't been done to death...our Solace song, Nataraja, is about as traditional as we get....

video critique?

2008-03-20T13:33:40Z

Hey! I was wondering if you guys would be willing to critique my youtube video! This was a pretty tribaret performance, although leaning more towards cab here. It is all impmrov. That is my friend video taping/ blabbing, we are choreographing a dance to this song for her, so that is why she is talking like that, lol! Anyways, as far as the video...
It was improv, and I need to slow down and think more, I'm a little scattered. I definately need to clean up my hands, but any other input would be greatly appreciated!

Coin Bra Closure Question--need ideas and advice

2008-03-19T01:27:24Z

I am making my first costume bra--oh it is a coin bra and I wear a large bra cup size so it needs to be sturdy. So far it is going fine--thanks to advice I've found for other posters on tribe. I am a little stumped on what to do with the back and closure.

Has anyone used a lace-up back with a heavy coin bra? It seems like it would be fairly easy to use the tape that has the grommets to make a lace back closure. The bra I am using has three hooks so it has plenty of width for a few grommets. Would this style be sturdy enough for a coin bra? What sort of ribbon/string is best for the lacing? Are you able to close this yourself? (I don't want anything that will require that someone else helps me get dressed--I plan on x-back straps so this is an extra challenge).

Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions!

Belly dance and (chronic) illness

2008-03-10T13:55:51Z

*cross post*

I'm planning to write an article on belly dancers who have a (chronic) illness. I have once started a topic on this before on Bhuz and I was surpriced to see how many dancers have a (chronic) illness. Since I am one of those dancers and I know I'm not the only one out there I thought it would be a good idea to share stories.

(btw I won't be using other peoples stories without permission)

I'd like to know:

1.) If you have a (chronic) illness, did you have it already before you started dancing? Or did you get it after you were already dancing?
2.) If you already were ill, was it hard to take up classes?
3.) question for pro dancers: I you were already ill before starting your belly dance career, how did you decide to go pro? How does it affect your career? Or if you got ill after you were already teaching or perforing, how did it change things for you?
4.) question for everybody: how does being ill affect your ability to dance?
5.) Does belly dance do any good for your illness?
6.) If you have anything else to mention please do so :-)

I shall start but without giving away too much, otherwise the article will be boring.
I was already ill when I started taking up classes. I thought it would be good for my health to do some light exercise (but I can't call belly dance light exersize!). It was not my intention to go pro, but due to circumsances it just went that way. It was very hard, because I tried to keep up with teaching classes in different towns. In the end I had to quit because I got a burnout. After that I planned it all more carefully. Performing appeared to be the beter way to go for me; less exhausting and beter payment. Still I always kept some classes going, but workshops was the way to go. However that's also very exhausting.
I think if it wasn't for belly dance I would be much more ill by now, it keeps me from becoming a zombi. But then again, there are times when I cannot dance, like now. I don't know if I want to go back teaching again, I have been asked and it is tempting, but all the hassles around it (marketing etc.) are too much. I'll see, it's something I can always pick up again. As for performing, that's a bit easier to get back to, it's more likely I go that direction again.

Btw, I haven't been on Tribe for ages because of being ill

Belt start???

2008-03-10T11:09:50Z

Hello all,

A picture entitled "Is this a start?" shows a regular belt, covered in glitter, spool of chain, hairy-texturey yarn, and old costume jewelry. Would this glitter belt, as a base, be *too* much even for tribaret? As you can see, the belt already has grommeted holes all around.

Pleeze, does anyone have a vision for me? I have NO imagination!

Thanks,

Zina

P.S. This week I should be getting a fushia fringe (smooth) belt in the mail. Could this be made into something to wear over that one?

Favorite troupes?

I have lately begun choreographing for two and three people and hope to eventually work with a whole group. Of course I sometimes sift through Youtube for new ideas. I'd love it if you'd share with me some of your favorite troupes -- just a name is fine, but if you have a favorite clip and can provide a link I'd appreciate it even more. :)

I'm leaning toward more cab-ish troupes than ATS here (clearly, since I'm choreographing!). ;-) I like ATS but I haven't studied it, so I couldn't really direct it. Basically I'm looking for the between-the-lines details -- how does a group look cohesive? What does the interaction between the dancers look like? What's a good balance between fast and slow, between everyone doing the same thing and dancers doing complimentary moves, etc.?

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!

Happy dancing,
Eve

Discussion topic - what does your guy think?

2008-02-22T18:44:28Z

As you may know, I'm fairly new to belly dance, just been in lessons for a year. Without getting into specifics about my relationship, I am allowed to continue belly dance (spending time & $$$ on lessons and costuming) as long as I show progress in a manner pleasing to my significant other. Some nights ago I was showing him videos of various types of belly dancers. In a nutshell, he likes cabaret type with lots of hip action (this is more how women dance in his native country), he thinks Rachel Brice is amazing but watching her his eye was mainly attracted to specific parts of her body at any one time, with tribal his eye was drawn to the heavy looking costume; with gothic he quickly got bored. He likes for the dance to be about all three. I really appreciated his feedback as it gives me direction as to what to keep studying and for future costuming ideas.

Has anyone else had such feedback from their partner? I really liked his opinions, have you liked comments you've received?

Zina

P.S. I'm posting this here as he's been really happy with the costumes I've put together which are mostly tribaret cause we like silky and sparkles!

Regular clothes...repurposing items ???

2008-02-09T17:12:57Z

Hi again. I used to have a long black velvet (short nap, smooth) dress that was repurposed into a long skirt (I just basically lopped off the top and made a casing for elastic). The sides are sewed, there's only the kick pleat on the back which comes up almost to my knees. The waist isn't too tight and I can get it to sit higher or lower with it looking fine. My question is...might a straight black velvet skirt be used as part of a costume even if it's not open on the sides if it's flattering? Along with anything sparkley, I do love anything soft to the touch.

Another question about velvet and colors. Are these costume pieces like regular clothes, you just wear them in the winter? Can I wear my white gypsy skirt (also love white) after Labor Day?

K, one final question. I have a short black suede cape like thing with fringe about 12" long all around. I used to wear it over a black wool blazer to make it look like a fringed jacket. I don't wear it anymore. Today it came to me to maybe use it as a fringe skirt and found it more than goes around my body. HOWEVER, the back sticks out (kind of like a bustle) because of the cut to fit around the back. Does something like this piece have potential? I know it'd be more tribal but I'd like to repurpose pieces I don't use to save money for what I really might want to buy (like endless wave harem pants or the ruffily fluffy ones).

Thanks for any advice.

Wat is/are your "trademark move/s"

2008-02-06T15:40:43Z

Are there any movements that you see as your signature moves, or maybe you have invented any of your own?

I have 'the Amulya step' ;-) can't explain it, maybe if I ever make a DVD you can see it ;-)

Knee spins. ow. geez.

2008-02-04T17:55:53Z

I have a question about knee spins (many of you may have seen Ansuya do them in performance). For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do them without skinning my knees. If I am practicing in yoga pants for example, the friction between my knees and the cloth literally rubs the skin off. :( !!! I have seen dancers do them with bare knees. Are they just hardcore enough to stand the pain or is there some sort of trick?
Any and all insight is appreciated. :D

$ Bracelets

2008-02-03T03:48:32Z

Yesterday at Dollar Tree I found some really cute cuff bracelets (photo in my profile). I know everyone else's costumes are just totally gorgeous and glamorous, but since I'm just starting out I thought these were cute so bought a set to coordinate with the few pieces I currently own. They're each 9 wires, individually beaded, wired together to form the cuff not quite 1" wide. The're finished with wire beaded tassels with matching dangly thingies. The bracelets also come in blue, gold, and bronze. Someone else may like them as a very reasonable priced piece of jewelry. Isn't this what tribaret is about...sparkly stuff?

Necklace Options?

2008-01-26T08:49:29Z

Hello all,

I wear an eternity collar which is locked on. You can see it in my profile's pictures (page 3, titled his_zina). Ordinarily I don't wear any other necklace anymore but am wondering what I "might" wear that wouldn't detract from it costume-wise. I'm especially wanting to think of something that may coordinate with the coin belt I just made with American dimes and Mexican steel-toned coins. Even though these items seem to lend themselves to tribal, my school and our costumes are more cabaret and gypsy.

Thanks much,

Zina

New York Dances of Vice Festival - DESERT SIN

2007-12-28T03:09:18Z

Hello! I wanted to introduce to you DESERT SIN, an amazing dance troupe from the east coast, now established in New York. They're performing two acts as part of the Dances of Vice Festival in New York in February 2008 featuring Rasputina as the headlining act in the exciting context of a Neo-Victorian costumed ball. I highly recommend checking out their website and videos- their performances are elegant, theatrical, and incredibly skillful.

They'll be performing on both dates of the Dances of Vice Festival in New York (Feb 8-9) for those interested. You won't want to miss it!

Costume question

2007-12-02T23:48:55Z

Is it OK to incorporate Asian elements in belly dance costuming, specifically Thai accessories and headpieces? I mean, if one can make it work, and the costume is well integrated, is it still OK?

When did you decide? X-posting

2007-12-02T20:08:31Z

Being as I'm still sort of a belly dancing tadpole, I'm trying to watch as many different performances and different styles as possible...and yet I still can't say, "Oh, I'm cabaret" or "I know for sure that I'm tribal". I can't even really say "I'm tribaret or tribal fusion (though I think I may be leaning that way)".

I know, I know...plenty of time to figure this out. My question is, though: when and why did you decide what flavor belly dance you preferred? Or is this an ever-evolving thing?

Your experiences dancing at corporate workplace events

2007-11-15T13:14:42Z

I’m working on an article (to submit to a dance magazine or post online) regarding belly dancing in the office workplace. I’m interested in your experiences dancing at employee appreciation day events, office Christmas parties, employee picnics, employee fitness centers, etc. I’d like to know whether you’ve had good experiences or bad experiences, how your coworkers responded, and any interesting tidbits or insights you have to offer.

If you’d like me to withhold your name or want me to give your name in the article, please let me know that.

Thanks for your help! I’d appreciate it if you’d email me via Tribe, or email me via the Contact Us page of my website, www.DynamicBellyDance.com

To see examples of my writing style, my website has an illustrated excerpt from my new book, “Dynamic Belly Dance, The Joyful Journey of Dancemaking and Performing”. In addition, the Articles page on my website has about a dozen free articles that I’ve written which are available for you to post in blogs, ezines, emails, etc.

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats - Repost

2007-11-15T12:13:47Z

Hi Folks,
We recently released a debut album. It's a mix of electronic and arabian styles. We're hoping it might appeal to the tribal and belly dance community, and also people that are into this sort of vibe and music. Please feel free to have a listen on myspace where we have four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

It would also be great to promote it through the network of tribal and/or belly dance teachers who might be interested to sell it at a class or bazaar. We can offer it at wholesale prices with plenty of capacity for the seller to make a decent profit on top of the wholesale price.

Please contact info@nomadiqa.com for further details. Sorry for the self promotion.

Hope to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa

First costume

2007-11-07T15:00:41Z

I'm participating in my second student show in a few weeks and looking for some tips on costume. I'm taking a cabaret class, but personally I have more of a tribal flair. Even when dancing cabaret my movements are more earthy. I danced my first show in a borrowed, glitzy-ish costume and I was uncomfortable, out of my element I suppose. Luckily my instructor is flexible with the costumes we are allowed to wear. I'm planning on wearing charcoal mehndi Melodia pants and making the rest of my costume. Anyone have some advice on quick, inexpensive tribaret beginner's costuming?
