Explore energetic and expressive Turkish Oriental and Turkish Romany Dance! In these mini workshops, you’ll learn some of the movements, gestures and stylizations that are the key characteristics of Turkish-style belly dance. We will focus on the traditional Turkish rhythm called the 9/8 and cover topics such as zills, footwork and combinations.

For the past few days, I have been doing some more design work. The website is up and running although it has not been advertised yet. We are waiting on meetings with sponsors to get their final go-ahead.

That is fine, of course, as I still want to do some tweaking on the site. I am not digging the font that I am using right now, but I am still searching for the right one.

I have also designed the slide we will be using at the Lyric to promote the show.

The poster and flyer is still a work in progress. We are still waiting on promo pictures from some of the performers. Hopefully, we will get those in soon.

On a related note... I have just come back from my first class in an Arts Marketing course. I am very excited about this as I hope this will help me in a variety of ways. Performances, workshops, classes and certain project that I am working on but can't spill the beans about just yet... let's just say "Be Mused!"... as well as in my day job.

We are supposed to blog as part of this course and since I already have one, I hope to be able to use this to complete my class assignments and share my experience with other dancers.

Related note part two... I am starting a Turkish language course next week! I am so excited about it I could zaghareet. :)

Come join us at Kent Square at 6:45 pm on Wednesday January 7. We will be performing and teaching a few moves in celebration of the new year.
