Hello Dancers,

 

We had another successful workshop today, and I’ve been asked about December.  The first 2 weekends are not good for me, so I’m looking at Sat. Dec. 18th.  It’s a crazy month, I know, but all the reason to dance more right??!!  If I get at least 5 confirmed RSVPs for this workshop, I’ll do it.  If it’s a bad weekend, we’ll just start again in January!

 

Cheers,

Hello Dancers,

 

We had a good turn out and lots of fun at my Oct. “First Sat. Belly Dance Workshop” so we’re going to do it again.  Mark your calendar for Sat. Nov. 6, and we’ll get started around 10:15am, after the 9am Zumba class.  Studio Z is located in the Sierra Vista Community Center at 55 School Street, Colfax.  The room is in the back near the baseball field.

 

We’ll review the basic moves from the last class, work on the choreography, and add a little veil work to the mix!  Remember to wear comfortable clothing and bring dry socks (those of us who did Zumba first had sweaty, wet socks!).  The best material for veils is 3 yards of tissue lame.  I will have a few extra veils for students to borrow.

 

Cheers,

Aseela

STUDIO POLICIES

·        Please help me keep the studio floor clean by NOT wearing your street shoes into the studio. Many people store their extra shoes at the studio and I do have lots of room left for your shoes too.

·        I need a signed waiver on every student at Studio Z. If you haven’t signed a waiver already, please let me know and we can take care of that ASAP.

·        Please silence your cell phones during class. I know life happens and, if your phone needs to stay on, no problem, but please try hard not to distract the other students.

·        Children: With Summer upon us, I know many of you will have to choose between your kids and classes. I do not have a problem with your kids coming to the studio as long as they can play quietly without becoming a distraction.  So far, we have not had a problem with this and I hope that will continue.

 

WANT SOMETHING ELSE??

Please let me know. I would love to know how I can make your experience at Studio Z even better!

Ditch the Workout, Join the party!

Belly Dance Class Postponed for now

Hello Dancers,

 

Well, I have to face reality…1-3 students per class is putting me in the red!  The time is not great, I know, so I’m going to cancel the Friday 3:30 class for now, and look at other time/location options.  I’ll let you all know when I come up with a new class.

 

Thank you so much to all of you who support me, and my apologies to my students who have been coming regularly.

 

Cheers,

Aseela

July 2 Belly Dance Class

Hello Ladies,

 

It’s the day before the Colfax parade, and we are busy getting our float ready.  I’m not expecting many of you for class today, and wondering if ANYONE is going to make it??!!

 

Please call me at (530) 389-4141, if you were planning to attend class today; I can still do it.  However, if I don’t hear from anyone, we’ll just plan on resuming class on July 9th.

Belly Dance class in Colfax this Friday!

Hello Dancers,

 

I’m back and ready to resume beginning Middle Eastern dance class at Sierra Vista Community Center in Colfax!  We will be starting the session over, with the possibility of working on zills and or veil at the end, if all students are returning from the May session.  Class is on Fridays 3:30-4:30pm (for now).

 

The location is 55 School Street in Colfax.

From Auburn, Take 80 up to the Colfax 174 exit

Exit and do the loop around to the right to cross over the freeway.

At the stop sign, turn right onto S. Auburn St. (174)

At the next stop sign, go straight to stay on S. Auburn (don’t turn right to stay on 174)

The road curves left, turns into Grassvalley St. and crosses the train tracks.

At the 4-way stop, turn right onto S. Main St.

Take the second left onto School St.

 

Don’t use any directions that tell you to take Dinky way!  The railroad crossing for that road has been closed!

The Sierra Vista Community Center is the old school (being renovated) on your right.  You can park in the street or in the lot. Classes are currently being held in the Conestoga room, which is easy to find if you enter the building by the door on School St. closest to the intersection of School St and Pleasant St.

 

Cheers,

Aseela

Notice: No Colfax Belly Dance for the rest of May

Hello Dancers,

 

My new Friday 3:30 class is off to a good start, but I won’t be holding class again until June 4th.  I told many of you I’d be back after my trip, but it turns out that Fri. is my son’s birthday!  It’s also Memorial Day Weekend, so I want to free up that day for family plans.  Sorry for the long break, but we’ll start fresh in June, and welcome anyone who hasn’t been able to make it so far.

 

Cheers,

Fri. Belly Dance Class

Dear Dancers,

 

I’ve finally got my shimmies in a row and I’m starting class this Friday, April 23rd!!  The class will be primarily for beginners, but I will be introducing some choreography to keep it fun for all, and will cost $5 per person.  We’ll meet at 3:30 each Friday in the Conestoga Room at Sierra Vista Community Center in Colfax.  That said, I already have to cancel May 14 & 21, because I will be out of town.  But, we’ve got 3 weeks to get this class going and to see if I will have enough students to cover the room rental ($15 per hr) and instructor insurance ($230 per year).

 

Hope to see a bunch of you there!

 

Cheers,

Aseela

Classes

Aseela will be on "Maternity Leave" starting the week of August 21st, 2006, and will not be holding classes. She hopes to resume classes in 2007.
