Greetings everyone!  I hope you had a safe and happy holiday season!

Here's what's going on in the upcoming weeks...


Instructional DVD Release!

My instructional DVD, Modern Tribal Bellydance with Asharah , produced by WorldDanceNewYork, is available for pre-order!

This DVD is aimed for the advanced-beginner and intermediate dancer looking to polish her technique and add a touch of mechanical and robotic movement to her practice and performances. After a rigorous warm-up, Asharah will lead you through a series of intermediate drills and isolations. Then she'll teach you how to break down traditional bellydance movements into smaller and punctuated parts to achieve a ticking and strobing effect. Then she'll lead you though six short cominations that compose a short choreography. The DVD also features two performances by Asharah. Music by Maduro, Venetian Snares, Hecate, and Cdatakill.

Pre-order your copy today! DVDs are scheduled to ship in late January 2008.   www.asharah.com/dvd.htm
