Advanced Technique
Bellydance
Performance Circle
Thursdays 7:55pm-9:55pm Eastern
Next 10 week Session Sep 12 - Nov 14th
** Halloween off **
Subject: African Fusion!
To be able to confidently perform a complete Bellydance Cabaret Improvisation is considered, by my lineage of teachers, to be the quintessential mark of a bellydance professional! Therefore, I bring you the very class format that I grew up developing my bellydance cabaret improv performance skills within! It's my honor to continue this training-style lineage as I share this with you!
In the first class of each 10-week session, you will learn the secrets of improvisation for one section of a cabaret or for a prop subject or for a fusion subject.
In the remaining 9 classes, you will be given the opportunity to improvise a full cabaret including the subject at hand and receive instructor feedback.
This will be followed by a featured student who will perform a solo in the subject being focussed upon, in full costume if desired, and receive feedback from instructor and classmates. You don't have to solo - but you will want to!
This is your chance to improvise a full cabaret on a weekly basis, which is key to unlocking your full creative potential and perfecting your craft! It is also your chance to practice performing your improvised solo solo skills for an audience made up of your classmates and instructor, which is ideal training ground! You can even practice your set design, lighting, and video skills!
Fast opening, veil dance, slow standing work, and drum solo subjects will be covered! Plus bonus prop and fusion subjects! Each subject will take one 10 week session to cover.
Here is how the content will flow:
The first class of each session will be a crash course in the scheduled subject. Technique and concepts will be broken down, drilled, and explained in the context of cabaret style improvisation.
The 2nd through 9th class of the session will flow as follows:
15min Welcome
15min Full Cabaret Improvisation
This is where you will practice improvising a full show. All students do this at the same time, so you won't be alone in this process.
30min Instructor Feedback
I make notes as I watch you all perform and then share them with you, along with constructive advice, to help you grow your skills in all aspects of your dance artistry and performance.
5min Featured Soloist
At the beginning of the session, each student's solo date is scheduled so that you can choose your music and prepare your costume and set. Or, you can choose to do a "Raks Roulette" to put your improv skills to the fullest test. This may sound scary at first, but by the time you've trained in this class for a while, you will crave the Raks Roulette!
30in Instructor and Classmate Feedback
Soloist receives constructive feedback from instructor and fellow students!
Extra time is built into the end of class for socializing or showcase meeting with the "inner circle" or "Goddess Unleashed" Troupe. (See below).
The tenth class will just be focused on the two remaining soloists if the session is full.

One of the most epic ways to vacation, have an exotic bellydance experience, and to celebrate friendships... is to attend one of our retreats in Naples, Florida! These are boutique goddess party experiences that are unlike any other. They take place in a not-to-be-missed setting and are full of fun activities, magical bellydance content, and sisterhood vibes that you will cherish for a lifetime!

Cyber Temple Tea Parties!
Another way to connect is by attending one of our Cyber Temple Tea Parties!
The "Cyber Temple" is our Facebook Group exclusively for online students and retreat attendees. This is where "Cyber Goddesses", no matter which class or track you are on, can all get together as one big bellydance family and socialize! Sometimes we do this with a holiday theme or sometimes we do this just because! Often fun games and prizes are included, along with shopping opportunities! Oh ya... and bring your favorite tea! One of my favorites is Moroccan Mint!
You can also enjoy the Cyber Temple as your place to post your videos from Performance Circle class for extra feedback, your practice videos of your training with Ansuya.com content, your photos and videos and stories from your bellydance life in your area or abroad, your class questions and more!
Also note that there is time after group zoom classes to chat a bit over a sip of tea or just over sips from your water bottle!
