I. New Saturday classes

I am so excited to announce that I am going to start offering Saturday classes! I have had so many students with Wednesday night scheduling conflicts that it seems like the right time to offer something new. Here are the details -

Tribal Basics Level One - Saturday, 11 AM - 12 PM, starts March 29

This introductory level class uses full-body warm-ups, Tribal Fusion muscle training, and Improvisational Tribal drills to help you develop an understanding of Tribal Style Bellydance.

Beginner Poi - Saturday, 12 PM - 1 PM, starts March 29

Pacific Island-style poi swinging has been incorporated into everything from performance to ritual to raves. Learn the basics of swinging poi in this easy to follow class. Note: I will bring all the poi I have, but I can't guarantee equipment for the whole class. If you're thinking about coming, please contact me so I can tell you what supplies you might need.

Both classes will be offered in a four-week session starting March 29 and ending April 26, with no classes on April 19. You can pre-pay for a four-week session for $45, or drop in for $15 a class. As always, if you're currently taking classes with me, you can drop-in to any level you've completed for more practice for $5 a class.

Current Wednesday classes will continue as scheduled.

II. Upcoming Shows

March 22 - Tonight! Assumed Identity Benefit at East Village, 10 PM. Sacred Shimmy will be performing with an incredible line-up of Columbus talent. We will be debuting a new drum duet, a new song by Sai Baba Musical Kaleidoscope (Zach's electronic music project), and a new choreography. You can't beat that!

April 5 - Beledi Extravaganza in Saint Mary's, OH. More details available at ohioarts.org under "Beledi Extravanza."

III. Comfest Performance Opportunities

One of Sacred Shimmy's favorite performance spots all year is the Community Festival in Goodale Park during the last weekend in June. This year I will be putting together a beginner-level choreography for any students interested in dancing with Sacred Shimmy on stage. Rehearsals will run on Wednesday nights at 8 PM from May 7 - June 25, and will be priced as regular classes. If you can plan to attend a minimum of 6 of these 8 rehearsals, you're welcome to participate! Clear your calendars now, and I'll shoot you more details as the process unfolds.

Hope to see you soon!
