Gypsy Caravan Collective Soul

The Red Tent is pleased and honored to bring you Gypsy Caravan Collective Soul in Seattle taught by the fabulous Paulette Rees-Denis

October 10-11-12 2008

This intensive program combines dance workouts and yoga stretches with aerobic toning and strengthening drills, several hours of tribal bellydance, and participation in assorted levels of evening dance classes.

What we will cover?
Coming together to study the Gypsy Caravan Tribal Technique, we will:

• Improve your technique with Level One and Two moves
• Learn new steps and refine the moves you already know
• Build your confidence as a dancer, leading and following
• Strengthen your improvisational skills
• Learn rhythm identification and different zil patterns, and dance with them!
• Participate in discussions about tribal bellydance history, artistry, and integrity.
• Have a great time dancing together as a circle of women, feeling the community spirit of this dance!
• You will be tested at the end of the session, and if you pass, you will be certified in Gypsy Caravan's Level One Collective Soul Tribal Bellydance Movement and Certification program! In the event you do not pass at this time, you can be re-tested at a later date. No worries, it is an intensive program and some of us need longer for additional study.
• This is a pre-requisite for the Gypsy Caravan Teacher Training program and will allow you to move into Collective Soul Level Two.

The Gypsy Caravan Tribal Bellydance Collective Soul Certification Program, with the various levels of study, means that when you are awarded your certificate, you know and have begun to master the levels and layers in the Gypsy Caravan Tribal Style Bellydance movement course! We want to help you be the best dancer you can be, and Gypsy Caravan style format assists with learning the basic dance language, how to best use your body, and how to be an ethical and creative artist. It has also been a proven method in bringing the tribes together from around the world, our Collective Soul.

This program has been in demand for years, by the people who cannot study at Caravan Studio, with Paulette or her trained instructors, on a weekly basis. We are very excited about offering it, so dancers can have a chance to learn by an intensive method, in a wonderful and fun environment, and with personal attention.

This is a way to have formal recognition for your hard work and dedication in learning this unique and versatile style of dance. This will give you the tools you need to better your dance, with knowledge and body skills.

All levels of dancers welcome—except brand new tribal dancers—some experience requested please.
