I figured it might be a good trade to let people take additional classes (beyond their normal 6) in exchange for helping out. Everyone must pay the regular $60 session fee that covers your regular 6 classes. Any additional classes you'd like to take, we'll trade one hour of class time for 30 minutes of work time. I know I will need some people to work at the vending booth on October 10 at the festival in St. Albans. Makeups Students will be permitted to make up missed classes by attending another class. However, I do require that you do makeups within the same session. Samadhi Library We have recently developed a "Samadhi Library". You can either pay $20 for a year or donate a recent belly dance DVD to the library for a year's access. In the library, we have lots of belly dance DVDs, books and magazines. Just like the regular library, you can keep them for 2 weeks before they must be returned. This is a great way to view lots of different DVDs for less than the cost of 1. Copying DVDs is strictly prohibited. Makeup (Everyone) All of your makeup should be put on much heavier than everyday makeup. Stage lights fade out the color. Put foundation on much thicker than usual. Set with powder. Use brown blush, dark brown lipstick and any color eyeshadow. Line upper and lower eyelids with black kohl liner. Use same liner to darken eyebrows. Extend lines out to side of face. Draw dots over eyebrows. Draw straight line down forehead and chin. Draw 3 dots below outer corner of both eyes. Place bindi between eyebrows with eyelash glue. Individual Bios Please include the following in your bio: 1) Dance name 2) All teachers 3) Year you started dancing 4) Current and past troupes Troupe Bios Please include the following in your troupe bio: 1) dance names of all members 2) year members started dancing 3) year troupe formed 4) all teachers Troupe Expectations Being a part of the troupe is a fun and exciting endeavor. But it will require work and commitment on everyone's part. Here's my list of expectations for troupe members: Be at class every week unless you have a doctor's note. I'm kidding! We understand if you're sick, have a death in the family, etc. But seriously, please try to be at class as much as possible. When at class, please participate to your fullest. If you practice sloppy, you will put that into your muscle memory and I guarantee you that you will perform sloppy. If you are tired or hurt, I would rather you sit out than practice sloppy. Practice at home at least 1 hour per week Fill out the self critique form for at least one song after every performance and keep these in your troupe notebooks. Act in a professional and responsible manner before, during, and after all performances and anytime you're in costume. Bars are an exception - my expectation is that you get wild after we're done performing! For private event performances, please leave family members and friends at home. It is acceptable and even recommended to bring family members and friends to bars and large public events. You are to be covered up with a veil, caftan, ghawazee coat or other coverup anytime you are not performing. Many changes are made the last class before a performance. Therefore, you must attend the class before a performance or you will not be permitted to perform. Join tribe.net and be involved in the West Virginia Belly Dance tribe. Attend at least one belly dance workshop or class by another teacher each year. I do expect that you let me know about it once you schedule it. Then we want to see what you learned afterwards! |
