shanmonster: (For goodness sakes. I've got the....)

I just updated the belly dance historical gallery.

Also, it's official. I am now teaching dance classes at a much nicer location:

Introductory Middle Eastern Dance Technique Classes
Classes begin Sunday morning, Sept. 19th at the Wu Style T'ai Chi Chu'an Studio at 328 King Street (upstairs from the Victory grocery shop). Classes run from 10:30-12:00 and are $60 for six weeks, or $12 per class. Classes are open to women, men, and children, and drop-ins are welcome!

Intermediate/Advanced Middle Eastern Dance Technique Classes
Classes begin Saturday, September 11 the Wu Style T'ai Chi Chu'an Studio at 328 King Street (upstairs from the Victory grocery shop). Classes run from 3:30-5:00 and are $60 for six weeks, or $12 per class. Classes are open to all with a basic understanding of Middle Eastern dance. Since the classes are small, there will be much emphasis placed on individual instruction. Drop-ins are welcome.

Learn to dance, and help me pay my rent, all in one go! Woo hoo!

The classes sound interesting. If I were to shake my lazy ass out of bed on a Sunday what would be appropriate attire?

Ooooh, I know this one! "Loose-fitting, comfortable clothing." She usually says something about footware, probably to the effect that it's optional, though in this case (at the T'ai Chi studio), it's either barefoot/socks or non-outdoor sneakers. I'll let Shan correct me now. Err, after she gets up, anyway.... ;-)

It would be great to see you there!

I like for beginner students to wear something that will show me the line of their leg, like shorts or leggings. This way, I can keep an eye on their stances to make sure they're not doing things like hyperextending through their knees. As for footwear, bare feet or dance shoes are good. If you have some sort of scarf you can tie around your hips (preferably with fringe or jingles or something), this will help you a lot with learning the different hip movements.

Ah, crap, I got it all wrong. :-/
