June 2006

  • Saturday, 17 Jun 2006, 7:30pm: Amrikko's Restaurant, Wingrove St & Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo
  • Friday, 16 Jun 2006: Traditional and Modern Dances from the Middle East and North Africa.
    8:00 pm Royal Theatre, 805 Broughton Avenue, Victoria, BC
    Come experience Oriental dance as we retell the myth of the Queen of the Underworld. Angelika Nemeth, AIEWA Dance, Al Ahsan, Hipsteria and El Kabela combine forces to recreate the myth of Persephone. Beautiful, young Persephone is abducted into Hades by the God of the Underworld. She soon becomes entranced by the many things she sees. Her mother is in anguish after the abduction of Persephone and begins her own descent into the underworld, passing through the seven veils, or layers of being; she gives up of herself to reach Persephone. Join us as we use Bellydance, Turkish Gypsy, Egyptian pop and the deeply hypnotic Tribal style of dance to draw the audience into the world of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. Tickets available through the Royal Theatre box office (250)386-6121.

  • Saturday, 9 Sep 2006, 7:00pm (with Hipsteria): Turkish Delight show featuring Ferda Bayazit from Istanbul, Turkey, and hosted by Hipsteria Bellydance Troupe, Errington Hall, Errington BC
    • Saturday & Sunday, 9/10 Sep 2006: Turkish Gypsy and Turkish Pop workshops with Ferda Bayazit, hosted by Hipsteria Bellydance Troupe - Beginning from the 9/8 rhythm itself to the basic movements and gestures of classic roman dance learned from Reyhan Tuzsuz. Reyhan, an authentic rom living in a gypsy villiage in Ýstanbul and internationally known and loved for her loving heart and her authentic roman style, is sought after by all the best tours to Turkey and all bellydancers travelling to Ýstanbul. After this review of the basics we will move on to new movements Ferda has learned Dr Serpil Mercanoðlu of Ýstanbul Technical Üniversite, Sema Yýldýz (one of the great stars of the Ýstanbul dance scene in the heyday of Ýstanbul fasýl clubs) and from the gypsy night clubs of Taksim where she lives. Ferda has the honor of being dubbed cingene ferda by Sema during a class. After this full day of roman dance, you'll never dance the same to 9/8 rythm again!
