Zamira's events

WEIGHTED VEIL WORKSHOP with Zamira (events » arts) Saturday, February 28, 2009 - 2:00 PM 27 RSVPs In this workshop you will receive instruction on all the techniques and skills required to use weighted veils in your favourite choreography. From basic movements to complex combinations, incorporating dance movement with the dynamic movement of the veils. Weighted veils are rapidly becoming the prop of choice for many dancers wishing to achieve a more dramatic effect in dance or to add a new visual element.

If you would like to schedule a weighted veils class/workshop for a small group please contact me to book a date and discuss rates. Workshop locations must have minimum 10 foot ceiling height. Usual duration is 2 hours.

(minimum 5 participants required to run a workshop)

Cost: $25.00 up to 22 February 2009, $30 after. Buy a set of veils in advance and get the workshop for $20 (must register by 22 February 2009)

Sign up and buy your veils at the Ottawa Dancers Bazaar on 22 February 2009. What could be easier?

*NEW* With enough interest I will add an additional hour, 2:00-3:00, for more advanced students to develop ideas for choreographies and freestyle performances. Please phone to discuss possibilities. The additional cost will be $15 and there must be at least 4 participants.

PayPal payment accepted

and I'm starting to really feel it. Last night I worked the VIP gate for the whole 4 hours. Yuck! Got a couple of opportunities to go see the show but couldn't leave my partner, Andre, alone on the fence. He's only 6' 2" at about 260 lbs but people would argue with him and give him long sad stories... I'd just look at them and say "NO" and they'd say "okay" and leave. I think I look scary when I say NO to people.

The crowd was crazy. HUGE... largest crowd yet at Bluesfest. The part was a c... read more

It's all about ME

about me
Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The family moved to Ottawa in the summer when I was 4 months old. I've lived here most of my life and love it. When I was 19 I went to Victoria, BC where I lived for 3 months, then I went up north to Prince Rupert where I stayed until November. I was back in Ottawa late in November. I lived in Montreal for a year and a half in the early 90s, then went to upstate New York to work for 10 months but was not considered a resident because I was required to return to Canada every 15 days or less.

In 2002 I sold my house (Bolton Bed & Breakfast) and started travelling the world. I came back to Ottawa for Christmases and summers but was travelling for 19 months. Now I'm back in Ottawa and have been for over2 years.
