:: the LATEst from n.o.madic tribal ::


THIS Friday, Sept 29 :: 8-10pm at Dragon's Den
n.o.madic tribal with
SPECIAL GUEST, Morrighan and her Tribe Hip'notiq
This Friday, special guest Morrighan and her troupe Tribe Hip'notiq will join n.o.madic tribal at the Dragon's Den, making it our first postK double-bill. I'm especially honored because, as some of you may know, Morrighan was dancing with Rakadu Gypsy in Lexington, KY, when I first started taking classes with Rakadu's director, Teresa Tomb. I remember being enchanted by Morrighan's ease and grace and thinking how amazing dancing with such lovely ladies must be. Now, it's YOUR turn to be enchanted! Come see Morrighan and Troupe Hip'notiq and n.o.madic tribal this Friday from 8-10pm at Dragon's Den. (The Dragon's Den is located at 435 Esplanade above Zot'z Coffeehouse in our New Orleans).

 

 


Workshop THIS Saturday OR Sunday :: YOU DECIDE

A few folks have been asking for a workshop for a while, so we're trying to put one together. The problem is that we can't seem to please everybody, so we're putting it up to a vote: Do you want the workshop to be this Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon?? We've got three dancers who'll agree to come to either one. If we can get two more folks to commit, it's on. If not, well.....
If you need enticement, we're planning on sharing a few new fast combos we've worked out postK and two new circle ups. All are sass, sass, sass! It'll be two hours of instruction and all at low investment of $25.

::::::::::::::|more about n.o.madic tribal and tribal bellydance|:::::::::::::::::

::n.o.madic tribal performs tribal style bellydance, a completely anachronistic fusion form of improvisational bellydance from no specific place or time::

Rather, tribal style bellydance honors the Romani Trail, the path taken by the Rom people--(we sometimes call them Gypsies, not knowing that to many, gypsy is a derogatory term). The ROM traveled out of north India through what today is Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Iraq, all the way to north Africa and even up into Spain. The style of dance we do takes elements from the dances of all these places and fuses them together in a lovely and stylized way.

This fusion adds a mythic quality to not only the movements, but also to the costumes, for our costumes--like the movements--are from everywhere and no where, making them timeless.


Come lose yourself at our weekly show at the
Dragon's Den (435 Esplanade, New Orleans). Fridays 8-10pm.
