For the first time in five years, Majida Anwar is able to offer belly dance classes at Georgia Tech to everyone! In Tribal Basics, students will learn the foundation of A.T.S., or American Tribal Style form of belly dance. This style adapts styles from all over the Middle East, North Africa, and India. This class will focus on posture, technique and improvisational choreography, a trademark of the dance style. Learning this new and innovative style of American created belly dance allows you to speak the language of dance to dancers throughout the United States. Majida Anwar is certified in FatChance BellyDance General Skills for American Tribal Style by Carolena Nereccio and encourages all students to follow Carolena’s DVD series on American Tribal Style. 8:00 PM class is designed for students who attended the summer semster course. Please email Majida for questions.

What I want to do with this is to get musicians together to play and rehearse music mainly from the Middle East, North Africa, and the Balkans. Everyone, no matter your musical level, is encouraged to attend these salons – drummers, melody players, dancers aka zill players!

I am just playing facilitator for this event. I will share my knowledge and I hope others will participate and do the same. Everyone is encouraged to bring both sheet music and songs to the salon for us to play. You do not have to read music to be here, nor do you have to have any experience in music to participate. I would like to be able to foster a community of people wanting to learn music and be able to play at haflas and events. Please bring stools and music stands if you need one.

Date and Time:
Sundays: 8/30, 9/20, 9/27, 10/4, 10/18, 10,25, 11/1, 11/22, 12/6, 12/13

We will meet at Awalim’s rehearsal space in the Virginia Highlands

Have a group of friends who would like to start a belly dance class? Don’t want to fight traffic to come to a weekly class? Do you not have enough time each week to commit to a weekly class? Majida now offers semi-private workshops and classes geared for groups of women who would like a more flexible schedule. These classes can be weekly, monthly, twice a month, or however you would like to fit belly dance into your life! Majida is willing to travel up to one hour outside of Atlanta.

These sessions are perfectly geared towards the following groups, and can be customized to your liking:

Home school groups looking to add a physical education or cultural learning units into their curriculum
Office workers looking for a new and fun way to gain exercise to break away from the mundane hours of sitting in a cubicle
Retirement homes looking for a creative movement fitness class for residents
A social group of women looking to host a new and fun exercise activity for their organization or network of friends

A group of at least 5 women that are ready and willing to learn the amazing art of belly dance, wanting to expand their cultural knowledge, or find a new way to exercise
A venue that will be convenient for the class students. Majida can provide a boom box for sound. Dance studios and sprung dance floors are ideal, but carpeted rooms with or without mirrors are more than enough.
A projected schedule with dates and times so Majida can help you plan the schedule of classes to fit your schedule and her schedule.
