NEW CLASSES STARTING IN MAY 2012
Clark Community College
I have resigned my Adjunct Position with the College after 6 years to take on more classes
in my own studio in a more focused way. I will forever be grateful to my College Students - their
energy and desire to learn and understand not only the dance movement, but the culture from
where it comes - - has been overwhelmingly fullfilling.
Sadly, the College has chosen not to replace this class with another well qualified instructor - - due to Budget Cuts that had already been looming). I remain hopeful it will return in the future.

Detailed Class Descriptions
BEGINNING 1 is an eight-week session in Egyptian Style. Zaina will cover rhythms and basic steps (including finger cymbals (zils), veil work, entrance/exit, isolated movement and drills. There will always be a focus on body mechanics/structure and body "styling", so the student gets more than mere steps. Culture, ethics, do's and don'ts will also be covered so that the student is given a more complete tool box.
INTERMEDIATE Once the basic session is completed, class will move on to this intermediate level in which
students
will begin
to refine steps, find the transition movement between steps and learn to put
together
a "complete" routine
(entrance, veil, drum solo and finale). This session includes combination
steps which work towards the early
stages of choreography and has a strong focus on drills.
Mixed Level Belly Dance (ADVANCED-PERFORMACE LESSON CLASS) On-going students will learn to refine steps, put together complete programs/routines, impromptu and choreographed, hone basics, and gain a better understanding of the importance of body styling and presentation. Strong emphasis on zil patterns and rhythms, 9/8, 7/8, 6/8 and more, how to connect with your audience (whether just a few or an auditorium of thousands), and leaning the diffence in being a performer vs. a technician.
What to bring and wear to class: WATER (your own bottle which can be refilled from the filtered tap), flat dance shoes or dance sandles (Advanced class can wear ballroom shoes), yoga pants or exercise pants and tops, hip scarf without coins (beaded fringe is preferred), a notebook and pen, and a desire to have fun.
