Tempest and Asharah will be presenting two complementary workshops reflecting the dual mental and physical nature of our dance form. Tempest's Dancing on the Right Side of the Brain will take the participant through a series of exercises to unlock the creative spirit and engage the right side of the brain. Asharah's Pops, Locks and Tick Tocks will introduce the participants to Asharah's signature tribal fusion style, influenced by robots, experimental electronic music and of course poppin' and lockin'. Registration is for both workshops only.

About the instructors:
Tempest pulls from her visual arts background (BFA from RISD), literary tendencies, and global inspirations to create dance that crosses the boundaries of time and culture. Tempest began her journey into dance in 2000, and has traveled the country to study traditional, folkloric, and fusion forms of bellydance. She is the premiere instructor of Gothic Bellydance in North America, and her extensive work in the genre has helped to define and develop the movement across the world. Her compelling performances exemplify her distinctively theatrical and expressionate style, and are rooted in oriental dance technique with a transcendent approach. Her costume designs have revolutionized the look of modern bellydance, and continue to inspire new and old generations of dancers alike. For more information, see her website, Darkly Dramatic
Asharah is renowned for her strong technique and dramatic fusion of tribal and cabaret bellydance, and she has extensive experience in Turkish, Egyptian, and American bellydance. She has teaches and performs her unique tribal fusion style around the world, and she is currently a faculty member at two of the Washington DC area's finest dance schools: Saffron Dance in Arlington, Virginia, and Joy of Motion Dance Center in Washington, DC. She released her first instructional DVD, Modern Tribal Bellydance, in early 2008, and she is featured on the groundbreaking DVD Gothic Bellydance: The Darker Side of Fusion. As a student of Middle Eastern history, she believes that every belly dancer must know the history and culture of this dance, whether she is performing it in its traditional forms or fusing it with others.
