Free Virtual Belly Dance Classes!
In celebration of National Parks & Recreation Month, the South San Francisco Parks and Rec is offering three of my Intro to Belly Dance classes for free!
Free Virtual Belly Dance Classes from Alisa Greer Belly Dance through the SSF Parks and Rec!
These are live classes via Zoom, and they’re perfect if you are new to belly dance or returning after not dancing for a while. I’m teaching each class as an individual capsule, so you can take one, two or all three.
There is no charge for the classes but you do need to register via the SSF Parks & Rec online catalog. Once there, click on the green ‘Free in July’ tab and then click ‘Belly Dancing- Beginners’ and follow the instructions to register.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Happy Dancing xo
Performance Video - SirensFest
Last week in virtual belly dance class we danced to the song Zay el Assal (زي العسل). It is one of my favorites and coincidentally I was cleaning out a cupboard over the weekend and found a DVD recording of a performance I did using this song in 2016 at the North Bay Belly Dance Bazaar! I thought I would share it here:
I am slowly adding more performance footage to my YouTube channel, please subscribe if you you’d like to see more.
The North Bay Belly Dance Bazaar has been renamed and is now called SirensFest. It is a wonderful, positive event that truly celebrates bellydance! I had such a great time there. The festival is scheduled to go on this year, October 3 -4, 2020, and the organizer, TerriAnne Gutierrez, is planning to build a stage outside, so I feel very hopeful about this and I will keep everyone posted as I learn more.
The song Zay el Assal is one of my favorites. It was originally sung by the Lebanese singer and actress Sabah. She is considered one of the greats. Here is a clip of her singing it complied with some gorgeous photos of her throughout her lifetime. She was a glamorous figure until the end! There are many belly dance versions of this song today.
In other news, I am working on the schedule for my Virtual Summer Belly Dance Classes. Please sign up to be notified of these and future classes as soon as the information is available. Thanks so much for your support and happy dancing.
