Special Class - Intro to Turkish Rom 9/8 by by Halimeda!!

Merhaba:
I want to do an intro to 9/8 based my own experiences in Turkey, many-many seminars with Dahlia Carella & Artemis (and others) on the 23rd of August (Saturday) from 10 - 12:00

Many of you know how much fun I've had with kashlama rhythm using zills, lively movements from Sulekule and improving to Rampi..Mastika. The Mike Gregorian ensemble (Festival on the Nile) always plays a lively 9/8 for me...knowing that I am one of the few dancers to be able to keep up and interpret the 9/8 properly.

Most of the basic movements for Rampi are borrowed from Dahlia's choreography and she has incorporated other's cultures' movements into the 9/8. She calls her style Dunyavi. Artemis is purely Turkish. Halimeda does a blend of the two.

The class will be $15 for the 2 hours, includes a CD of song examples. The notes will be forth coming. I hope to have something jotted down this weekend.

Please let me know if you plan to attend so that I can put some CD's together. Leave a message at 850-421-5151 or email Halilmeda@instepstudio.com

Our Regular Classes

We provide classes in Middle Eastern Bellydance, Hawaiian and Tahitian.

All of our higher level classes classes are at our studio just off of Crawfordville Highway. In September, we'll be starting a beginning level Flamenco class at In Step. We also have teachers for Hawaiian Hula classes at a YMCA .

In Step Studio has mirrors along one wall and the floor is a true floating floor with mulitple foam layers under 2 layers of plywood and capped with a nearly indestructible dance floor covering. The studio has a great sound system and lots of sunlight. My studio carries dance costuming, dance music and various dance props.

Beginning level Hula YMCA classes are held Thursday nights on Aerobics floors with dynamic sound systems and mirrored walls. If you are a Y member, going to the classes there costs you nothing - it is part of your membership. If you are not member, the cost for classes is the same as the YMCA daily guest fee. Please call (850) 421-5151 for more information on any of our programs.

Please note a change in schedule for August ..no classes in studio on the 14th, 18th or 19th. The YMCA Thursday hula class will be held as usual!
