Students must have completed the Level 1 course before moving up to Level 2 but many find it beneficial to repeat Level 1 from time to time. Tuesdays 7.00 - 9.00pm Old Heathcoat Community Centre, Tiverton Kalash Practise & Drilling - by invitation only We thought you may enjoy some of the following observations, rules and quotes collected from various teachers when asked what advice they would love to give their students. Some are tongue in cheek some definately are not...... * We will ALWAYS wear pantaloons under our skirts!!!! * You WILL NOT be able to dance like Rachel Brice after 8 weeks of class * ATS is not Tribal Fusion but the foundation of Tribal Fusion * We will work on a single move for a month if we have to.......... over and over and over again * You will have to get used to looking at, touching, depending upon, and trusting your fellow dancers. There will be plenty of accidental boob brushes and getting attached to each other because of costuming........ get used to it! * Regular class attendance is a MUST cos you can guarantee that the week you miss is the week of a new move * One must work their way up into a performing troupe. It's not a bad thing to be in the chorus. We all have to start somewhere. * You will be expected to spend time with your sister dancers outside the studio for costume making and shopping, seeing other shows, DVD and Youtube watching and yes..........just hanging out. The bonding times with fellow dancers is just as important as the class training *This style IS NOT for everyone......... just because you're a great cabaret dancer does not mean that tribal is for you....... nor does it mean that you will be better than a non dancer trying tribal as their first style of bellydance. *Everyone learns at their own pace - don't be frustrated if it takes your body 6 months to establish a move in your muscle memory when others only take a few weeks * Every dancer will need to lead at some point or the other.....or stay in the chorus * We will nag nag nag about hands and arm positions * Forget everything you learned in Cabaret class, we will have to untrain you and start again. ATS is a completely different style of bellydance with different rules and foundations * We are not bossy........... we just know how it's supposed to look!!!!! |
