Introductory Class. Skill Level: Open to All.

Ong King, 184 N. King St.
, Honolulu
Learn the basic tribal movement vocabulary common to all styles of ATS from FatChance to BlackSheep. Differences and innovations will be taught, as well as BSBD's famous use of both sides of the body for ATS. Moves such as Takseem, Maya and Ribcage Circles with Turns, Level Changes and Cues; up to four different Bodywaves, even Circle Step and Torso Twist with third Turns if time allows. Egyptian Basic Full, Half, Side-to-Side and 1/4 Turns, Hip Bump (aka Choo-choo) with Vines and Arcs, Turkish with several Turns, Cues and possibly more will be covered with easy-to-understand breakdowns. Please bring your finger cymbals, notebooks optional.
Workshop II

Skill Level: Open to All with Knowledge of ATS, AND/OR for Those Who Have Taken Workshop I
$40 advance, $55 at the door, January 24, 3 – 5 pm, Ong King, 184 N. King St.
, Honolulu
Learn a few more slow, medium and fast tempo moves and combos with corresponding cues and cymbals (when appropriate) specific to BSBD. Also learn our famous "cut-it-in-half" rule and more innovations. These steps and combos will be different from those of Workshop I so you can continue to learn and grow over our weekend together. You don't have to be an advanced ATS dancer to take this class, though having a working knowledge of the form will be helpful. "Tribal from the Ground Up, BlackSheep Style!" can be used as a Prerequisite class. Bring your cymbals! Notebooks optional.
Workshop Show

January 24, 9 pm, Ong King, 184 N. King St.

Any participant in either workshop is invited to come perform in the final show, or you can simply come watch at a discounted rate. The show will be a friendly, open environment to share our mad dance skillz with each other and our friends.

More about Kajira:
Kajira has devoted her career to the proliferation of American Tribal Style (ATS) BellyDance (BD). Though skilled in many other traditional dance forms, this specialty chose her due to its "no borders" sense of creativity, its modern approach to ancient ways, its inherent ability for developing one's sense of community, the fact that this form builds self esteem not through competition, but through cooperation; and its capacity to bring dancers together nearly psychically through the use of structured group improvisational dancing.
Most of all, Kajira is the original Creator and "Chief Imagineer" of the KD/BSBD Format for ATS BD and the Founder and Teacher of BSBD and its earlier incarnations, as well as hundreds of other individuals and troupes around the world. Kajira and BlackSheep BD feel technique is necessary only to facilitate the experience of the loftier goal of complete and total JOY while in the moment with others! They feel this format and the way it is taught is a vehicle for healing on so many levels. It is much more than a series of steps...
Kajira has taught workshops, master classes, teacher certifications and several-days-long study programs in Germany, England, Austria, Taiwan, Canada and throughout the US so far. Other teaching highlights include teaching and performing onboard a cruise ship for 4 years and as a teacher, performer and judge at the Belly Dancer of the Universe Competition (BDUC) on 3 separate occasions, with a standing offer to return anytime. She holds an honorary award for "Lifetime Achievement in Middle Eastern Dance and the Arts" from the same.
She is author and purveyor of the famous Tribal Bible (on its 3rd printing), is the featured Tribal-and-Alternative Q-n-A columnist for Zaghareet! Magazine for over 2 years, has 2 DVDs out (Vol.
1 having been honored as one of the "Top 25 DVDs for Belly Dancers" by Shira of shira. net and the *only Tribal one* to make the cut!), is a performer and teacher of *many* dance styles (just ask!), is producer of Tribal Fest (a 4-time winner in Zaghareet! Magazine's Golden Belly Awards for Fave Event/Promoter), has won the Instructor of the Year award from IAMED (International Academy of Middle Eastern Dance) and Favorite Instructor twice in Zag! Mag's Golden Belly Awards!
Kajira's most influential teachers in her dance life include Carolena Nericcio of FCBD, with whom she spent 8 years as a student and as a member of her performance troupes, Elizabeth Artemis Mourat, Delilah, Suhaila & Jamila Salimpour, TerriAnne, Deanne Adams, Tempest, Rachel Brice, Laurel Victoria Gray and Morocco. Kajira gained invaluable insights through fellow dancer and musician Staff for nearly a decade at the prestigious Mendocino Middle Eastern Music and Dance Camp in CA, on staff again in 2008, as well as from fellow Staff for 3 years at Folk Tours Camp in MD. She's pursued training with many teachers in many styles of Middle Eastern, Rromany and Folkloric Dance, with current cross-training under master teacher Sarala Dandekar in Odissi, a devotional Classical Dance from the temples of East India.
She's grateful to have a very full schedule year-round traveling to share her art with others. She offers Teacher Training Courses in her specific format (The KD/BSBD Format for ATS BD) while encouraging her students to pursue even more training in any field, just like she does. Kajira feels that the measure of a great instructor is the students she leaves to continue their living legacy, and Kajira is grateful to have accomplished this.
