Are You Really Reading This?

DC Belly Dance Classes with Marta :: Spring 08
Dancers and Friends,

My schedule is finally up for Spring 08 classes i will offer. My apologies for the delay in posting the info up, life has been a little hectic lately.

I finally received my ATS Teacher Certification from FatChanceBellyDance, and attended my second GS--this time at the mothership which makes it a much more intense and fulfilling experience. AMAZING! With Suhaila's blessing at the Charlottesville, VA workshop this past weekend, i will also be attending the Level II ... read more

My Last Day at the Fat Chance Studio...
Today is the final day of the Fat Chance Teacher Training.

Im exhausted...I keep dreaming of the studio, drums and flowing skirts, and a huge part of me just doesn't want to leave the bay area anymore. My two most prominent belly dance teachers are here (Carolena being one of them, of course) and the rapport that we have built among the GS/TT group will stay with me forever.

In the last ten days I've been trying hard to figure out how my classes and teaching style will change and evol... read more

~ Foam Roller Pains...and Thrills ~
OK, so it hurts. A lot. Suhaila warned me, and i still remember how i almost jumped into her lap crying the first time she squeezed my thighs to check my IT bands.

Rolling the first time made me tear up, sweat, curse, and finally recall how calm and centered i had to be during natural childbirth.

I kid you not, i had to go there....

Now i still wince and sob a little. BUT, my body feels different--more aligned. My left knee is not giving me that scary weak feeling i was starting to l... read more

...Performing Again...
so i did it...came out of my show performance hiatus and threw myself over the edge...*at least for tonight*

a flamenco tangos indian tribal fusion piece (yeah, and its that long too!), a known tribal fusion song, egyptian beledi and an egyptian pop song. new songs that i never had the time to choreograph (my nature is improv anyways!). the pieces are so moving, that my goal was to interpret them and have folk hear me. in the tangos piece, theres a part that says...."i wish i could turn in... read more

:: legwarmers & memories ::
just got done with a grant proposal for work that has been kicking my butt...i'm exhausted...i should be happy but the long work plan ahead gives me no room to rest.

there's a full moon out that has been keeping my concentration to a minimum tonight. my son and i have this tradition of howling at the full moon, not sure how it got started...he's had a liking to horror flicks since he was tiny, so maybe he got inspired by some remarkable werewolf somewhere...

crazy night, flamenco classe... read more
