Following the
success of the first one, the next Drum and Dance Jam
will be held on World Belly Dance Day, Saturday 10
May, between 2-5PM. Price $5 per person (eftpos
preferred). Location: Crosslands Lounge, Gibbons
Road, behind the Public Library, Takapuna Beach.
The idea behind this 'Jam' is for tabla & frame drummers and tribal and cabaret dancers from the greater Auckland area and beyond, to be able to get together to create music and dance. Performance pieces are welcome by prior arrangement. You are encouraged to attend in costume, but it is not compulsory. Light refreshments (tea, coffee, biscuits) will be available all afternoon. Parking is available under the library or in surrounding streets.

Back by
popular demand, ATS or Tribal style dance classes
will be available on Tuesdays at 6PM in Takapuna from
the beginning of Term 2. This dance style uses belly
dance movements in group improvisation format (which
really means follow the leader belly dance style!).
We will start with the basics, and build on this
according to the skill levels in this class. Entry
requirement - Medance Level 1 or similar.
Register here
to become a
member of the Medance tribe!

As
we are nearing the end of Term 1 2008 (hasn't it gone
quickly?) I have now opened registrations for Term 2
2008. Introduction class registrations for Term 1
2008 are now closed. The next introduction courses
will commence in June 2008.
As some classes are at capacity in Term 1 2008, I recommend that you reserve your place for Term 2 as soon as possible.
Many of you are looking forward to participating in the MEDANZ fesival over Anzac Weekend (25 April), and from what I hear, the show should be quite spectacular.
Have a happy and safe Easter break 2008!

Thank you to
everyone who participated in this event. We had a
great time, plenty of dancing and lots of drumming
was enjoyed during the afternoon, with special thanks
to Sue and Craig for kicking the whole thing off.
There is something special about putting on a costume
and dancing happily amongst fellow dancers - quite a
beautiful thing to watch.
The music covered many styles, so the 'cabaret chicks' got to make those beads and sequins shimmy, but also got to participate in the 'follow the leader' tribal numbers, led by Christine - thanks Christine for the fun and the challenge!
I am currently making plans for the next one to be held in May (after Festival) so watch this space!
