About Deniz:
The name Deniz means “The Sea” in Turkish, and was given to her during her travels in Turkey.

For those wishing to learn this ancient art, she is a treasure trove of knowledge and experience.

In addition to being a staff member at Sinclair College, and dance instructor at PlayThink Learning in the Oregon District, Deniz teaches seminars all over the country.

The Black Drum - "Rakshasa" Free Music Downloads!

2008-06-25T20:56:18Z

"Rakshasa" was born out of a six-week break from touring with the crazy notion that there would be time enough for one person to write, rehearse, record, mix, master, and design art for a complete package. This personal challenge was met and became a reality despite so little time. Music from "Rakshasa" has been used in films, commercials,and for various choreographies created by dance troupes from around the country. In thanks to the amazing support that "Rakshasa" has received, I am gifting it to the community as a free download. The follow-up CD should be completed by November '08. Thanks to everyone for making "Rakshasa" such a positive learning experience!

It's time to give back the love! Pass the word around. :-)

Here's the link: http://legionofdoumbek.com/

p.s. If you like the drumming, feel free to visit my other project Teribus on the web. We will release our first CD on August 4th at the Pennsic War. You can listen to demos (work in progress) at http://www.myspace.com/teribusmusic

About Valizan:
Valizan began his journey into Middle Eastern dance in 1995 when he joined The Society For Creative Anachronism, an educational group that learns about the Middle Ages by recreating it. Teachers Rayah Blackstar and Moria The Black instilled basic technique, while classes with the sublime Roula Said took him to a new plateau. Current influences include Yasmina Ramzy, Fat Chance Belly Dance, Jillina, Rachel Brice, Francisco Carranza and Aziz of Salt Lake City.

As one of few male belly dancers in North America, he has become a sought after solo performer and teacher across Canada and The U.S. for his powerful style and energy. He also heads up his own troupe, Shades Of Araby. Local appearances include Arabesque Dance Company's Asala, The International Belly Dance Conference Of Canada, Tribally Inspired, Northern Migration, The Dark Side, Face Zenna at the Royal Ontario Museum and The Bewitching Bellydance Ball. He also headlined In The Heat Of The Hafla in Milwaukee and appeared at Cabin Fever in Buffalo, NY.

He was recently honored to have been included in the 2007 Men Of Middle Eastern Dance Calendar put out by male belly dancer Jim Boz.

He began teaching American Tribal Style belly dance at Arabesque Academy in 2004, and became an apprentice in the Arabesque Dance Company in November 2005 when he began training in Egyptian Folklore with Yasmina Ramzy. He is honored to be a lead dancer in the Arabesque Dance Company Men's corps, and in the new project, The Righteous Rogues Of Raks.

Valizan also holds a degree from The Ryerson School Of Journalism.
The learning continues...

Deniz’s Original Annual Charity event is BACK!
10th Annual Belly Boo Bash will be on Saturday, October 4th, 2008 in the Historic Oregon District.
Come one, come all for a great cause. Tickets are only $15, and all proceeds go to the charity. This year’s charity is the Lakota Indian Nation. Many are living in sub-standard housing, with no heat, running water or electricity. Many children don’t have a winter coat. The sad thing is that this is going on right here in America. So let’s do something to help out and come in your most ghoulish gear and be prepared to scare.
If you are interested in dancing in the event, please call Deniz at 937-602-3788. Spots are limited so call her quick! In addition to the workshop earlier that day, Valizan will be performing that night. The event will be held at the new PlayThink Learning location at 411 E Fifth Street in the middle of the Historic Oregon Distric. There will be plenty of parking now that the city of Dayton is sending 1.3 mil to create more places for people to park. Show starts at 8:pm and will be done when we’ve squeezed all the fun we can out of the night. Open dancing, yummy treats, raffle items, plus anything else we can think up to make the night an exceptional evening to remember.

Scioto County?

2008-03-17T00:56:14Z

Any bellydancers in Scioto County? I live in Lucasville, about ten miles north of Portsmouth Ohio--it looks like there are no classes in this area, but I'd love to find some women who might want to get together periodically and study with a video (if there's nothing else!) Right now, I'm dancing on my own in my room with instructional DVDs....

Anyone in the Portsmouth/Lucasville/Minford/etc. area interested?

Teribus will be performing at the Center for World Rhythms and Movement on March 22nd.

We would like to encourage all belly dancers to attend as we load our tunes up with drums and percussion inspired by belly dance rhythms (malfuf, ayoub, etc.). :-) If you like darbuka, tupan, and bagpipes, here's your chance. :D

If you would like to friend me on other social applications, look for athenawindsong on both myspace and LiveJournal.

Nomadiqa Ethnic Fusion and Arabesque Beats - Repost

2007-11-15T12:27:08Z

Hi Folks,
We recently released a debut album. It's a mix of electronic and arabian styles. We're hoping it might appeal to the tribal and belly dance community, and also people that are into this sort of vibe and music. Please feel free to have a listen on myspace where we have four full tracks available to listen online.

http://www.myspace.com/nomadiqa

It would also be great to promote it through the network of tribal and/or belly dance teachers who might be interested to sell it at a class or bazaar. We can offer it at wholesale prices with plenty of capacity for the seller to make a decent profit on top of the wholesale price.

Please contact info@nomadiqa.com for further details. Sorry for the self promotion.

Hope to hear from you.

Many thanks,

Nomadiqa

SATURDAY, November 10th, 4 HOUR Specialty Class!!
COST: $25 in advance, $30 at the door the day of.
CONTENT: 2 hours: SIGNATURE STEPS OF THE EGYPTIAN STARS: Shakira has been privileged to study directly with
Mona el Said, Dina, Najwa Fou’ad, Nadia Hamdii, Farida Fahmy and others. Through her extensive ‘movement training’, she
will share with us a clear explanation of what Dina is “really” doing with her butt, among other things and a sampling of the
signature steps that ooze Star Quality, enhance your show, and convince your audiences you “must” be Arabic. Classic steps
of ‘golden age’ stars and others will be included.
2 hours: DANCE DYNAMICS - THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND GREAT: What makes the difference between the
average show and one that makes you think, “Wow, she was amazing?” Between the dancer whose show doesn’t quite stay
with you and the one you can’t forget? And why isn’t that dancer who seemed so fiery and fast, or did all that layering,
memorable? Probably because of dynamics. Dynamics can help you fill in what you might be missing and know what NOT to
do. When you know what these are and how to work with them, everything you do will be interesting, and nothing will be flat!
Learn the secrets to being the dancer audiences can’t get out of their heads. Don’t be “just another dancer” ever again!!

Anyone going to Carenza's Caravan Moria & Sonia Workshop this weekend?

2007-09-19T22:20:21Z

Hey everyone. It's Dharma. As some of you know, I had a hypoglycemia seizure last month (that's what I get for not eating after a night of drinking...) and I'm not "technically" supposed to be driving right now. So if anyone is going to the workshop and show in Muncie, IN this weekend and would be willing to give me a ride, that would be awesome! If you aren't in Columbus I could meet you somewhere along the way. I would pay for half of the gas money and promise not to mess with your radio! Email me or give me a call if you can. Thanks.

Tribal Night

2007-09-19T13:29:49Z

Anna and I have in the works Tribal Night 6. The High Five Bar (the same establishment that has hosted all previous TNs) has asked Raks Jahanni to organize another one just like the last one. Then I thought “just like the last one”? What made the last one so special??? Then it hit me…I think it was the dancers that stayed after the show they remember the mostJ Good times…

Anyway, Anna and I said “sure, why not?”, and the bar says “ok, you have October 20”. Moments later we secured a more than eager local band who heard the words belly and dancers and agreed to play after the show and beat their chests. I think the newly single drummer was the one that spoke up first. They’re not the usual type of band you would see at a belly dancing event, but then again Anna and I aren’t “usual” either. The band rocks my socks off and that’s all that mattersJ

So here’s the thing…we can’t have a Tribal Night if we don’t have any dancers that want to perform, right? We would like as many people to get back to us within A DAY to tell us if they would like to perform or we won’t have it…seriously! Again, the date is Oct. 20 (a Saturday), and everyone is welcome. You best believe this will be a Halloween themed dance night…we can’t let slide by the one time of year when Anna feels normal, can we??? Feel free to come whacked out in your most disturbing ensemble. Our special friends in dance (Zimra, Chandara Gamal (and troupe), Kira LaFave, Yasmilah, Zahira, Sacred Shimmy, Rachyl, Gypsy Soul, Laylia, Khalida Tribe, Crescent Moon) who have supported us in the past are always welcome to perform. Hit me back if you’re down….

Peace

Drum Workshop: September 8, 2007 (Cincinnati)

2007-08-17T13:57:49Z

I will be teaching a drum workshop in Cincinnati that will cover basics, drumming for belly dancers, tips and tricks, basic rhythms, and a few other things. This class is open to all levels of drummers (although some experience can be helpful) as well as dancers who would like an introduction to drumming. You can find out more by reading this listing: cincinnati.tribe.net/event/D...e232f844

Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I don't always get a chance to teach locally (usually on the road), so come on out, bring a drum, and have some fun! :-)
