Bellydance cds, middle eastern music cds, and some other miscellaneous stuff.

I hate to do it. I REALLY hate to do it, but for me, money is more important than music at the moment. My loss, maybe your gain.

Hafla!

Andalee — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 17:16:54 GMT

Hello everyone! This is Andalee, and I am planning a Hafla for Sat March 29th. It will be at the River Ridge in Sprigville (river-ridge.net)... a really beautiful facility up in the hills above Porterville. It will start at 3pm, and then we will have performances by students and beyond, potluck, (hopefully) a drum circle and party after that... it will be a lot of fun. There are even cabins we can use to change and all that. We will be asking for a $3 donation to help us pay for renting the venue, and anyone is more than welcome to bring food to share at the potluck. If anyone wants to perform, just EMAIL ANDALEE at ANDALEE@ANDALEE.COM so I can add tyou to the list (also a great time for STUDENT perfomers). I would like to keep solo the routines short, especially for the beginners (3min), and around 5min for the advanced/professional. This will be a great time to mingle with other Valley dancers and perform (or just watch) in a family friendy venue (children are more than welcome!).
Hope to see you there!
Andalee

Pictures from Riverpark Anaka/Tanjora Rogue Exhibition

Larry2 — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 08:07:55 GMT

I just posted the batch of pictures I took from the Rogue preview at Riverpark. If there are any images that you are interested in specifically by performer let me know...the original images are really large and I can enhance them in a number of ways (for those who do not know me). Just check out some of the images in my profile thinger :) I just wish that it was a longer show that day!

Again... I part with a pair of Melodias (cross-posted)

JoyDawn — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 05:39:13 GMT

It's a painful, painful thing...

BUT, these M34 nude glitters really should get use, and I just don't see it happening in my closet.

I just moved, and I simply must purge things that are not in use. (Ok, that, and I need money because I'm a poor, single woman now.)

SO... I'm only posting this in Central Valley tribes (Ananka, Tanjora, TU... those are the only ones I know of, are there more?) because I'd like to see them go to a semi-local home and find love and wearing-ness. I've stored them folded inside-out in a ziploc bag, so they shouldn't have lost much of their glitter. Dang, I love the way they look... I just can't keep them. It's weighing on my conscience, having them folded up in a dark little drawer. They deserve a sashaying, shimmying hiney and a spotlight.

SO... $110 gets you some saucy, sassy, SPARKLY Melos.

Shoot me a message if you're interested.

Tribal Fusion Bellydance: Moves and Transitions I

Bakersfield, CA 93301

To register contact Masinah at
masinah@bakersfieldbellydance.com

Moves and Transitions I:

In this workshop you will discuss and learn the fundamentals of Tribal Fusion Bellydance; proper posture and technique, specific moves and transitions, leading and following, group improvisation, dance expression, and costuming. Proper posture includes positioning of the pelvis, utilization of the transverse abdominis and solar plexus, lifting of the shoulders and chest and placement of arms and hands. Techniques we will review include posture as is related to execution of a moves such as hip drops, pelvic locks, taxim, mayas, amis, shimmy walk, standing shimmy, torso rotations, chest circles, arm movements. We will also learn new moves and the cues, which signify transitions between moves such as the Egyptian Basic, reach and sit, choo choo, Tunisian, Turkish shimmy, Arabic, Arabic hip twist, lightening turn and more. Once these aspects are established, we will then learn the fundamentals of leading and following, group improvisation and dance expression such as making cues visible but not obvious, thinking and dancing at the same time, and maintaining a “vibe” between dancers to create the ability to dance together without cues. All levels are welcome. www.ascendtribaldance.com

Cross-post: I'm parting with a pair of Melodias...

JoyDawn — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 18:30:47 GMT

and you local kids can have the first chance at them.

See...I have 5 pairs, and I wear all of them EXCEPT this one pair. They're sad, in the closet all by themselves being unloved.

So, if you'd like to make friends with a pair of medium, 32 length black powermesh Melodias, let me know.

They've been worn once, maybe. I find that they're a bit on the short side for my taste, even though they're the same size as all the others. I think it has something to do with the material and how it stretches, or doesn't stretch.

$70 gets you some saucy pants.
