Bellydance and Yoga classes with Renee Drellishak

   Mon, March 30, 2009 - 4:48 PM
After a long hiatus I am starting to teach classes again, starting this month!

**************************************************************************************************
WEEKLY bellydance classes starting April 15

Wednesday nights from 8-9pm I will be teaching a blended Salimpour
technique class. We'll be using Suhaila Salimpour's movement technique
to explore her mother Jamila Salimpour's vocabulary format. Jamila
codified and taught the movements she and other dancers were using in
the Arabic nightclubs of San Francisco in the 50s and 60s. This
vocabulary was spread throughout the US by Jamila's many students, and
if you've taken a bellydance class in the US in the last 30 years,
chances are you've learned parts of Jamila's vocabulary! This
vocabulary also provided the foundational movements of American Tribal
Style bellydance. As such, this class is recommended for cabaret,
tribal, and fusion dancers, and especially for those who interested in
the history of bellydance in the United States. All levels welcome.
Finger cymbal instruction included.

Classes begin Wednesday, April 15.
