Fishtank Ensemble, Deb Rubin, and il Troubadore Show in Indianapolis - July 11
As if having Deb teach workshops wasn’t enough!
Join us for a special Sunday show, as we welcome Fishtank Ensemble and bellydancer, Deb Rubin to Indianapolis (il Troubadore opening).

The LA Weekly calls them “cross pollinated gypsy music….one of the most thrilling young acts on the planet.” Formed in 2005, the band includes two explosive violins, the world's best slap bass player, musical saw, flamenco and gypsy jazz guitar, trombone, opera, jazz and gypsy vocals, accordion and one little banjolele. Tackling everything from French hot jazz to wild Serbian and Transylvanian gypsy anthems, Flamenco, and oddball originals, the band is a not to be missed event for world music lovers...and everyone will love this intoxicating mix of music!!

Deb Rubin workshops in Indianapolis - July 11
ONLY ABOUT 2 SPOTS LEFT!
Deb will teach 2 workshops on July 11. Each workshop will be 2 hours in length.
The schedule will be as follows:
1-3: Bringing more Decadence to your Dance
3-4: Break
4-6: Layering and Levels - A Core Integrated Approach
"Bringing more Decadence to your Dance" is a slow and slinky workshop. I took that workshop at TF and it was amazing! We'll have a shorter version but it will blow your mind!
"Layering and Levels - A Core Integrated Approach": the name describes it well! It will be uptempo. Here's Deb's description: Layering and Levels will also include Lots of Locks, traveLLing, Deconstructing Layering, PLus other things that start with "L'. :) We'LL Learn Layering, and appLy upper body patterns to various lower body shapes, patterns, footwork, level changes, weird stances, etc. PLus, create your own combos and incarnations from the materiaL.
Given that this is short notice, I'm pricing this as cheap as I can make it. So 50$ for both workshops or 25$ each. Additional fees will apply if paying via Paypal.
Also, the workshops will be at Aiki Concepts (5129 E 65th St.) and, given the small size of the room, the number of participants will be very limited. We're talking 16 lucky few.
Please contact me if you have any questions or for additional info on registration.

The page will be updated soon. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me here or at celeste_brc (at) yahoo.com
Here are the descriptions of each of the workshop:
Essential Stagecraft for Performers (Saturday morning)
Stagecraft is an essential component of powerful presentation. Staging savvy ensures that your technique and artistic intent reach the audience effectively. With over a decade of practical, multidisciplinary performance experience, Onca combines comprehensive theory, movement exercises, and drills in a rigorous overview of essential stagecraft for dancers and others. Bring your notebook and your pith helmet, as we prepare to push your staging boundaries and give you the tools to maximize your impact on any stage, epic or intimate.
Narrative Bellydance (Saturday afternoon)
Out there dancing? Have something to say! This high-spirited, concept-driven class presents a range of evocative moods - spirited, celebratory, passionate, somber...maybe even a little bit of Evil. Onça has undertaken intense study of Narrative bellydance and is on a serious mission to nurture authentic self-expression among the world's Tribal Fusionistas. This class is GREAT for getting dancers laughing, building community, and making memories.
Must-Have that Musicality! (Sunday morning)
To Embody the Music is the indisputable duty, honor, and pleasure of a bellydancer. Solid technique, slammin' glamor, studied staging... all these other elements aspect of performance serve this glorious goal: Make the nuances of the music, its soul, visible to the audience! Drills and isolations are followed by exercises in really listening, exploring, and expressing the arc, mood, and lines of the music.
The Rose and the Thorn: Dancing with Fan (Sunday afternoon)
This one is a classic in Onça's teaching repertoire and evolves continually. Inspired in equal parts by Flamenco, the Fine Art of flirtation, and every performer's need for self-defense. Onça's Fan Fusion is long on musicality, emotive power, attitude and upper body strength. Savor the flavor of passion as we explore the potential of every dancer's indispensable tool; the Fan. Most fans will work: feather fans and fan veils will be discussed, but are not usable for the purposes of class. Onça's preferred fans will be for sale at the event, or bring your own. posted in Ohio, Indy, Kentucky Bellydance Events - 1 reply
