Old School Tribal: Jamila Technique
As a level 3 certified Jamila Salimpour dancer (with the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance) and a performer in Suhaila's current re-enactment of Jamila's original Bal-Anat , I teach Jamila's earthy and powerful movements along with several Jamila-inspired dance combinations. Jamila was one of the originators of tribal belly dance in America and one of the first teachers to solidify a format of terminology in belly dance still used today.

Theatrical Belly Fusion
In this interactive workshop, students engage in a variety of theatrical exercises to help get in touch with expressing emotions in dance. Using the Rasa Box technique, dancers explore movement linked with all the major emotions and layer them onto belly dance movement.
