Announcing a day of medieval activities and belly dancing in Pensacola Florida, July 4th and 5th at the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds. the Society for Creative Anacromism is hosting Arabian Nights and this year the theme is the melding of cultures after the Mongolian invasion of the middle east in the 13th century. We have a full day of belly dance classes for Saturday and live drummer haflas on both Friday and Saturday nights. Here is the line up:
Atira of Atira Arts Studios in Gulf Shores Alabama will be teaching a choreography class and a sword dance class and possibly an Egyptian/ Polynesian fusion class depending on interest.
Kira of Savannah, Ga will be teaching Tang Dynasty Classical Chinese Long Sleeve Court dance movements, Mongolian Ceremonial Tea cup dance and Chinese dance folk movements, and Friday night, How to incorporate Chinese dance movements into your ME dance vocabulary.
and Finally!!!!
PETITE JAMILLA of BDSS will be teaching two workshops. These two hour workshops will be Dance Fundamentals and Double Veil. Both of Petite Jamilla's workshops are two hours long and are being offered at the low low cost of $20 per workshop!
We havn't seen this kind of line up around this part of the gulf coast in a long time!
Fee's are $29 at the door for adults for the whole weekend, children under 12 are $16, under 5 free.
For Saturday only $25 for adults $14 for children under 12.
This fee includes a five course medieval feast with belly dance performances in the evening as well as activities galore! Dancing is not all there is, we have medieval style fighting, fencing and archery. A full contingent of classes on arts and crafts and many merchants to peruse!
Bring the family, we have children's activities which are fun and educational.
And don't forget the late night of drumming and dancing, all in the air conditioning!
This event is unlike any dance weekend you have ever seen before! And way better than a renaissance faire because you aren't watching the activities you are participating in them!
If you or you're troupe would like to perform, or you would like to merchant please contact us soon, space is running out.
Please visit www.shireofarenal.com/arabianhome.html for more info
or email Rosemary at pouscat@cox.net
Hope to see everyone there!

Re: One heck of a bellydance weekend! July 4th-5th
Fri, June 20, 2008 - 5:52 AMOh gosh that sounds fun! I have always thought the SCA would be a blast. Thanks for joining this tribe so you can post this! We need to know more of these events for local dancers to get in on.

Re: One heck of a bellydance weekend! July 4th-5th
Fri, June 20, 2008 - 8:23 AMIt does sound interesting. I'm not familiar with any of the instructors other than Petite Jamilla. Do you have to pay the entrance fee in addition to the workshop fee if you're only interested in taking dance classes? The whole weekend sounds like fun, but I don't know if any of my friends or going or if I could talk my husband into attending with me. -

Re: One heck of a bellydance weekend! July 4th-5th
Sat, June 21, 2008 - 12:43 AMWell this is the frustrating part of the SCA, its a non-profit educational group. The rates of entry are set in order to pay for the site and the cost of the event and no more. So unfortunately if you want to come to the classes you have to pay the whole fee. But like I said there is lots to do and the price includes the classes (accept for Jamilla) and a wonderful meal and the Hafla afterward is different than most anything you would see at a belly dancing event or drum circle. That is what I love about the SCA, we would love to see you there :-)
I don't know if you are on myspace but here is the link to Atira's page on myspace. Kira doesn't have a webpage yet.

Re: One heck of a bellydance weekend! July 4th-5th
Mon, July 7, 2008 - 8:05 PMI hope whoever went to this had a fantabulous time. I really wanted to go but I was just getting over a butt crawl with Bank of America (don't ask, it's a long story, I'm looking for a new bank) and ya'll definitely would not want to share what I had over this past weekend. What I thought was just seasonal allergies, turned out to be a lot more. (it.was.not.pretty) The worst part was it all came about on a three day weekend off from work. (What's up with that?) -

Re: One heck of a bellydance weekend! July 4th-5th
Tue, July 8, 2008 - 5:39 AMI went and enjoyed the classes. Atira and PJ kicked my butt, though! I guess it was a lot of classes to bite off when I'm sort of out of practice! I wound up a bit queasy and woozy after PJ's double veil class so I had to split a little early! At least Kira's classes were nice and gentle!
Sorry about your encounter with the financial institution and the illness! I got a bad respiratory infection a little over a week before we went to Tribal Pura which was totally uncool. At least it wasn't right before. I guess there's no good time to get sick, but some times are worse than others! -
