SAT MAY 19TH 8PM TICKETS £12 ADVANCE/ £15 ON DOOR

Once again Galit will be providing an evening of fab dancing, with a unique take on bellydance - and this time its personal.  Enter the delightfully delirious, deliciously deranged, deep and at times dark domain of the Belly Dance Diva.  Laugh and cry as she recounts her journey and tells you her innermost secrets, dreams and nightmares!  Wow - and who thought it was just a bit of shaking those shimmy belts.  Dont miss this...there will also be a small Farida Dance souk on the night.

 SPIRIT OF EGYPT - STUDY AND DANCE IN YASMINA'S SHOW
BINGLEY & SALTAIRE CULMINATING IN A SHOW AT OCT JOY

TUES 9TH - SAT 13TH OCT

This is a great opportunity for higher level dancers. It will cover technique, choreography & performance skills.
Yasmina wants to work with a select group of dancers in this challenging project.

Yasmina is designing a 20 minute show which she will present at JoY October 2012 as part of the Saturday night showcase.
She wants this to showcase her choreographic skills as well as your dance skills.

There will be different sized group choreographies. There may be smaller duet or trio numbers. There may be solo tableaux within the choreography.
Not everyone will be in everything.
Everyone will feature in at least one piece of choreography.
You will get to learn all the group choreographies even if you do not feature in them.

The project will start on Tuesday 9th October with at least 5 hours of classes on each day, the 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th. There will be rehearsals on Saturday 13th & the show itself.
If more time is needed, there could be additional hours - these will not cost you any more - but you must commit to putting the hours in to make it look good.

Cost: £299

This includes 22+ hours of tuition from Yasmina, studio hire & your ticket to watch the rest of the Saturday night show at JoY.

To book your place, you need to pay a deposit of £100.
£50 of this is non refundable. If you have to cancel for any reason, you would receive a £50 refund.
The balance of £199 is payable in cash at the course in October.

Dance classes - some will be in Bingley & some in Saltaire. If you haven't been to JoY ... it is in West Yorkshire ..... the biggest festival in the North of England. If you would like to discuss this project please email or ring Kay on 0191 5190305.  To book your deposit click here
