				Greetings! &#xD;
&#xD;
Thank you for your inquiries regarding my updated teaching schedule. I really appreciate the encouragement and support i receive from the dance community--especially students. My training continues to take the lead these months. I decided to cut my teaching schedule down to 1 day per week for now. I am very excited at the opportunities ahead of me and i hope to bring all i learn straight back to the classroom. &#xD;
&#xD;
Though i am *widely* trained (and dance) varied styles within belly dance (modern Egyptian through tribal fusion), i will continue to focus on tribal style in my classes--especially since i also hope to become a certified instructor in the Jamila Salimpour format. Wish me luck! &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
My Joy of Motion-Friendship Heights classes cover the following: &#xD;
&#xD;
*Suhaila Format (technical foundation for all i teach) &#xD;
*Jamila Format with Finger Cymbals (the foundation of tribal belly dance and key in the development of belly dance in the U.S.) &#xD;
*Fat Chance "PURE" ATS (the foundation of improvised solo/group tribal belly dance. key in the development of tribal stylization) &#xD;
*Flamenco Technique for Tribal Belly Dance (TM*) (my *trademarked* approach to teaching tribal) &#xD;
*Tribal Fusion Combinations (infused with flamenco and other "stylizations") &#xD;
&#xD;
NOTE: I have permission and encouragement from all my teachers to use their formats in my classes. I am currently level II certified in the Suhaila format, level I certified in the Jamila format, and i am an ATS teacher--level I &amp;amp; II--certified by Fat Chance Belly Dance/Carolena Nericcio. &#xD;
&#xD;

When you walkin' thru the downtown, and lookin' in around, you see the&#xD;
&#xD;
down of humanity, who was once somebody's baby, layin' down on the&#xD;
&#xD;
concrete, street, on the ground&#xD;
&#xD;
And do ya dare to care, and say what you want to say, step on and stare —&#xD;
&#xD;
Double standard mind warped thinkin', not my problem, this is where —&#xD;
&#xD;
Ya got it wrong, think you are strong, move along, but its your&#xD;
&#xD;
conscience layin' there —&#xD;
&#xD;
Cuz it is what it is — what it is — what it is&#xD;
&#xD;
Livin on concrete —&#xD;
&#xD;
What it is — what it is — what it is&#xD;
&#xD;
Livin on concrete&#xD;
&#xD;
So, call it whatever you wanna call it — at a distance&#xD;
&#xD;
But in reality, it's a casualty of a capitalist existence&#xD;
&#xD;
Thru the food chain of command, it's the plan of the man&#xD;
&#xD;
So step off — shut the fuck up, walk on by, why take a stand?&#xD;
&#xD;
And be grateful for what you got, even if ya been just tossed a bread crumb&#xD;
&#xD;
Cuz the hypocrisy of democracy's leavin' nothing for that street bum —&#xD;
&#xD;
What it is — what it is — what it is&#xD;
&#xD;
Livin on concrete —&#xD;
&#xD;
What it is — what it is — what it is&#xD;
&#xD;
Livin on concrete&#xD;
&#xD;
NIMBYism ideology, no apology, psychology&#xD;
&#xD;
Haven't ya realized, ya been hypnotized, homogenized, desensitized?&#xD;
&#xD;
To a typical, statistical, egotistical psychology&#xD;
&#xD;
To accept, the neglect and disrespect your own humanity&#xD;
&#xD;
What it is — what it is — what it is&#xD;
&#xD;
Livin on concrete —&#xD;
&#xD;
What it is — what it is — what it is&#xD;
&#xD;
Livin on the street.&#xD;

				Happy New Year! &#xD;
&#xD;
As i began planning my year in dance, i wanted to post a brief update on classes. 2009 will be another year of learning for me, though it will be coupled with exploring choreography and new performances. Years of extensive training have provided essential cultural context, historical knowledge and technical growth...and now comes the time to put it to work and say something new, something mine. I am indebted to my teachers and close friends who have accompanied me in this path and continue to do so. &#xD;
&#xD;
As far as classes, i will continue with my saturday tribal belly dance sessions. They will focus on the following: &#xD;
&#xD;
*Suhaila Format (technical foundation for all i teach) &#xD;
*Jamila Format with Finger Cymbals (the foundation of tribal belly dance) &#xD;
*Fat Chance "PURE" ATS (the foundation of improvised solo/group tribal belly dance. key in the development of tribal stylization) &#xD;
*Flamenco Technique for Tribal Belly Dance (TM) (my trademarked approach to teaching tribal) &#xD;
*Tribal Fusion Combinations (infused with flamenco and other "stylizations") &#xD;
&#xD;
(please note that i have permission and encouragement from all my teachers to use their formats in my classes) &#xD;
&#xD;
:: Classes :: &#xD;
&#xD;
Joy of Motion Dance Center &#xD;
www.joyofmotion.org &#xD;
Friendship Heights &#xD;
**all classes are now drop-in. however, i will continue to build on each class and retain the quality they are known for. &#xD;
&#xD;
Saturdays &#xD;
&#xD;
1:30PM to 2:30PM - Beg &#xD;
2:30PM to 3:30 PM - Adv Beg &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
I will post info on workshops soon, stay tuned! &#xD;
&#xD;
Peace and love, &#xD;

				Dancers and Friends, &#xD;
&#xD;
My schedule is finally up for Spring 08 classes i will offer. My apologies for the delay in posting the info up, life has been a little hectic lately.&#xD;
&#xD;
I finally received my ATS Teacher Certification from FatChanceBellyDance, and attended my second GS--this time at the mothership which makes it a much more intense and fulfilling experience. AMAZING! With Suhaila's blessing at the Charlottesville, VA workshop this past weekend, i will also be attending the Level II weeklong in April. I also can't wait for my third 2-day workshop with Madame Raquia Hassan this May...(i will try to also squeeze in another private session with her!!).&#xD;
&#xD;

				I am working on a documentary called "Last In Class", profiling people who finished at the bottom of their classes in college and looking at the paths their lives have taken since.  It's lighthearted in tone and, not surprisingly, reveals that failure in the classroom can have some real upside later in life (and no, Bill Gates dropping out of Harvard doesn't count).  (website:  www.lastinclass.com).&#xD;
&#xD;
As part of this project, we are also putting together a companion piece, a book of bad report cards and the memorable teachers' comments that came with them, from grade school, high school or college.  We could probably fill the book with my husband's report cards alone (one of his favorites from his high school World History teacher:  "Indolence is not an endearing quality") -- but what would be the fun in that?  So we need your help.  Do you have some old report cards with some choice words from your teachers?  Or, as a teacher, do you have a record of some of the stunners you have delivered yourself?  We would love to include them!  Just check out the site:  www.lastinclass.com and follow the link at the bottom.&#xD;
&#xD;
Thanks for your help and any suggestions.

				Dancers and Friends,&#xD;
&#xD;
My schedule is finally up for Winter 08 classes i will offer. I have added a new specialty class: Flamenco Technique for Tribal Belly Dance open to adv. beg/intermediate+ level students. The class will cover *correct/advanced* technique of floreos (wrist/hand/finger use), braceo (arm carriage and movement), correct and demanding turns, and combinations. Lines and stylization will be closely reviewed.&#xD;
&#xD;
I have also added a BI tribal to my saturday class schedule at JOM. FYI, my tribal classes are based on the Salimpour technique *and* demanding flamenco technique as a foundation. Depending on the level, we will cover FCBD ATS "pure" movement vocabulary, stylization and improvisation and study the differences/similarities among other popular improvisational styles. Lastly, we delve into tribal fusion, its development, study combinations and choreographies.&#xD;
&#xD;
Please browse below. If you have any questions, please visit http://www.moveyourbelly.com/Instruction.html or you can always contact me at marta@moveyourbelly.com&#xD;
&#xD;
Thank you for all your support!&#xD;

				A place holder as my teaching schedule solidifies...&#xD;
&#xD;
I will begin to teach another class at the Dance Institute of Washington...&#xD;
&#xD;
:: Flamenco Technique for Belly Dance/Flamenco Belly Dance Fusion  (not sure just yet of the title!)&#xD;
The class will be a BII level and above.&#xD;
&#xD;
Please remember that my levels are *demanding*. Flamenco technique demands work and is a must particularly for tribal dancers seeking to move to the next level. Focus will be on arms, floreos, upper body movement, turns, and combinations. They will be as close as i can make them to a Level I/II Salimpour Technique (i'm not a SSS certified teacher, but do have Suhaila's support) . The class will also demand FCBD ATS movement vocabulary foundation. And depending on the final focus may also delve a little into flamenco stylization for oriental style. Class will be on Monday, Tues or Weds evenings...sorry, i'm still settling that small detail.&#xD;
&#xD;
I will continue my regular belly dance class at DIW and my Basics and BII tribal class at Joy of Motion on Saturdays!!&#xD;

				Hey Everyone!  I'll be teaching four classes a week starting in January in two convenient locations: Joy of Motion's Atlas Arts Center in Washington, DC, and Saffron Dance in Arlington, Virginia.  The classes at each location are slightly different and each class will have a distinct curriculum.&#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
~~~Monday Nights: Joy of Motion Atlas Arts Center. 1333 H St NE, Washington, DC.~~~&#xD;
Session runs from January 7th to March 17th.  &#xD;
Registration: http://www.joyofmotion.org/Winter%202008/enrollment_regform_usethis(1).htm&#xD;
&#xD;
Beginning I :: 8:00pm - 9:00pm&#xD;
	Beginning I will focus on building body awareness, increased strength and stamina, and tribal posture using a combination of classic tribal style moves and the Suhaila Salimpour format with a pronounced emphasis on strong technique. The class will focus heavily on muscular movement, and students will learn about the history of the tribal style and its context within the worldwide belly dance community. This class is open to all students of belly dance who are willing to sweat in class and be sore the next day.&#xD;
  	&#xD;
&#xD;
Beginning II :: 9:00pm - 10:00pm&#xD;
Please note pre-requisites*&#xD;
     Beginning II classes will build on the basics taught in Beginning I such as glute-driven hip work, undulations isolated in the torso, and American Tribal Style movements, and will introduce more complex elements such as muscle locks, three-quarter shimmies, traveling hip work, full-time isolations, and non-Middle Eastern musical interpretation.&#xD;
* Students must have at least two semesters of Asharah's Beginning I classes OR be Level I certified in the Suhaila Salimpour format. Serious study with certain other instructors can also fulfill this pre-requisite, but please e-mail Asharah at asharah@asharah.com if you aren't sure if you're ready for this class.&#xD;

~~~Tuesday Nights: Saffron Dance, 3260 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA.~~~&#xD;
Session runs from January 8th to May 4th.&#xD;
Registration: http://www.saffrondance.com/register/index.html&#xD;
&#xD;
Starting next January, Saffron Dance will begin its new Tribal program, created by myself and ATS-devotee Jennifer Hodge.  We're incredibly excited to present this comprehensive tribal program that aims to create well-rounded students by giving the technique foundations to pursue American Tribal Style bellydance (FCBD format) or tribal fusion styles.&#xD;
&#xD;
Tribal I :: 7:15pm - 8:15pm&#xD;
	This class has been created for dancers seeking to develop the fundamental posture, alignment, and technique for a broad array of tribal belly dance styles, from American Tribal Style (ATS) to its modern fusions. Technique builds from week to week through structured drilling exercises based on the Suhaila Salimpour format* and ATS (group improvisation) created by Carolena Nericcio and FatChanceBellyDance. Students will also develop strong posture, arm positions, hip work, torso isolations, and basic foot patterns specific to the tribal style. This class follows an organized approach to building the basic elements of tribal and is perfect for students who have never been exposed to tribal belly dance. No dance experience is necessary.&#xD;
*Asharah is not an official instructor for the Suhaila Salimpour School of Dance, but Suhaila Salimpour has given permission for Asharah to use the Suhaila Salimpour format in her classes.&#xD;
  	&#xD;
Tribal II :: 8:15pm - 9:30pm&#xD;
 	This class builds on technique developed in Saffron Tribal 1 by using more advanced elements of the Suhaila Salimpour and FatChanceBellyDance formats, as well as Asharah's own signature dance vocabulary. This class will work to develop core strength, stamina, isolations, and musical interpretation. Classwork emphasizes the breakdown and drilling of each element. Students will incorporate technique and movement into traveling and combinations with a focus on execution and precision. A minimum of 6 months prior experience study with Asharah is required for registration.&#xD;

				 Nina did and excellent job finding a&#xD;
new home for our monthly Halfa here in Baltimore. The people who&#xD;
worked at "Cafe' Spice" were kind and very helpful. Our water glasses&#xD;
were constantly getting filled. The atmosphere was "charged with&#xD;
warmth and support" from our friends and family. It was a Big "Family&#xD;
Reunion" for me,since I had not seen a lot of my "Belly Dancing&#xD;
Sisters" in awhile. The food was excellent,and they contantly&#xD;
refreshed the food bar; and the music and dancing was mystical.&#xD;
Kostana's dancing,put you in a trans- and even though she is much&#xD;
younger than me, I can only hope one day dancing as "eloquent" as she.&#xD;
I am looking forward in going to more "Halfa's" at Cafe" Spice!&#xD;
I will be supporting my "Belly Dancing Sisters" at Cafe' Spice!&#xD;

    &lt;/a&gt;
							&lt;div&gt;
				It’s been a few weeks since I’ve sent out  an update on our new collective effort in Baltimore. &#xD;
&#xD;
These latest developments at BRE are so exciting and creativley invigorating.  We’re well underway now!!!&#xD;
&#xD;
 My new hero,  Katheryn Williamson (knee deep in MFA studies at UMBC) wasn’t able to make it out to the Playa this year. Instead,  along with numerous other things,  she spent her time arduosly chipping aging  floor tile off the new Gallery Space revealing a much more attractrive concrete floor which she then clear coated into a beautiful shine.  It really looks amazing now.&#xD;
&#xD;
So much else has ben completed I’ll just list the biggest accomplishments.&#xD;
&#xD;
All our rooms are now rented!!!  We’ve got a nice selection of creative people whom I’ll introduce in another update.  We are actively  in the process of working out our individual roles  as a community of artists  along with all the attendant streses and rewards.     &#xD;
&#xD;
We are currently in the process of filing for  Non Profit-  501 3c status   This will allow us to apply for a number of Artistic Grants and to purchase supplies and materials at a non taxed rate. Additionally we've had an experienced  close friend of ours offer to search and write Grant Proposals for B.R.E.  free of charge!&#xD;
&#xD;
We have also invited a close electrician/lighting designer friend of ours to come make art  and stay free of charge for the month of October in exchange for his expertise in getting the space properly wired and  beautifully lit.   &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
We’ve now established several of the Common Studio areas as well. &#xD;
&#xD;
1.  The Drawing/Painting area is up with a niced supply of artist materials, including patels, paints brushes canvas, paper easels etc.&#xD;
&#xD;
2.  The Pottery area is up with Justins pottery wheel taking center stage.  He’s already been making some nice pieces.&#xD;
&#xD;
3.  The Matting area is up with a 36 inch matt cutter, and all the tools needed to cut finished matts.  A number of frames are available too for our first show.&#xD;
&#xD;
4.  The Computer Lab has been started with the Macs up and working printing to 3 separate printers including an epson 1280 oversize printer.  (Scanners, the IBM platforms and internet still to come.)&#xD;
&#xD;
5.  The Dance/Yoga section with fitness balls and some exercise equipment  also saw some morning Yoga action too.  (Mirrors and a floor to come)&#xD;
&#xD;
But what I think is one of the most exciting event in the past few weeks was:&#xD;
&#xD;
    OUR FIRST  LIVE MUSIC PERFORMANCE!!!!    Last Thursday,  BRE opened our doors and provided lighting,  an audience,  and rehearsal space to a visiting Duo just returning from a tour of Panama , and in return were gifted an amazing intimate night of  performance and good people.  It’s moments like these that are what this new resource is all about.  Look for more of the same.   &#xD;
&#xD;
&#xD;
Please consider contacting either Katheryn or myself about visiting. We’d  LOVE to have you!  You just can’t get the sense of how exciting this is without actually setting foot in the space. (And if you can or want to help in anyway,  we’d like that too!)&#xD;
&#xD;
Stay tuned for an upcoming announcement of our Haunted HouseWarming  in October being done in Association with PORN&amp;amp;EGGS  ( and you know what THAT means).
