Alter Egos/Sahara at Seven Studio joyfully invites you to a day full of tribal themed workshops, capped off by an evening performance by Raquy and the Cavemen, back in Roseburg for one night!

***2:00-4:00 weĠre delighted to welcome Emily of Circus Tribal:
Slow, gooey layers and Turkish Rom Flavor for Tribal Fusion Bellydance

Take layering to a new speed...
slinky, sexy and sassy!

This workshop will start with technique to combine slow isolations, layering drills and then get creative with combos. Combos will focus on dancing to odd rhythms, placing emphasis in our isolations and using Turkish Rom styling and gestures. This is a great way to enhance musicality as well as learn some fun Turkish Rom fusion!

Raquy will be giving one of her amazing workshops as well; more details on that as soon as possible.

That evening join us at the gorgeous Rose Theater to delight in the amazing music of Raquy and the Cavemen and watch our workshop presenters perform with them.

From tribal to bedazzled, from gypsy to industrial, Circus Tribal is a fusion woven together from the words that define modern belly dance. The unique style of Circus Tribal Bellydance not only encompasses the many styles of Middle Eastern and North African dance, but also embraces the many inspirations within American culture, creating a dance that can be old or new, ethnic or urban, something for everyone. Led by director Emily Alrick, the dancers of Circus Tribal are committed to raising their art form to the highest level, combining modern techniques with ancient roots and creating a three ring circus of whimsy, history and ritual with every dance. Six weekly classes are now offered in Ashland and Medford and the Circus Tribal dancers are available for workshops or combined performance-workshops... and stay tuned! Costumes under the Circus Tribal label will be offered soon! Whether traditional, tribal, or urban, Circus Tribal is devoted to bringing the art of bellydance to new heights.

Emily was first introduced to bellydance through the striking style of Carolena Nerricio, the innovative director of the famous Fat Chance Belly Dance troupe. She was immediately taken with the beauty and strength of the movements and fell in love with this powerful dance form. Emily began studying, taking as many different classes as she could, with Jennifer Haynes-Clark of Kabile in Ashland, OR and traveling to San Francisco and Portland as often as once a month for a week at a time to seek out and study with some of the best and most well known dancers in the country, including the talented Fat Chance teachers. In 2003 she began her studies with Rachel Brice of the Bellydance Superstars, and Mira Betz, a life-long dancer with a powerful stage presence from the San Francisco Bay Area and a very influential teacher. In 2004 Emily began her studies with the infamous Suhaila Salimpour, dedicated to learning the challenging Suhaila Salimpour format. As a current member of the Salimpour School of Dance, she is currently certified level 2 and is working through the certification program. A full list of teachers and influences can be found on the resources page.

In 2004 and 2005 Emily was invited to teach several workshops and was asked to start regular classes. She currently teaches six weekly classes in Ashland and Medford in addition to various workshops and private lessons. Emily performs regularly solo, and with the Circus Tribal Bellydance Company in which she is the artistic director. She can be seen dancing with Middle Eastern music bands, with her students at haflas (dance parties), at arts and dance festivals and at private parties. Her unique style not only encompasses the many styles of Middle Eastern and North African dance, but also embraces the many inspirations within American culture, creating a dance that can be old or new, ethnic or urban, something for everyone.

Believing there will always be something more to learn, Emily hopes to be a life-long student to this dance form. Being inspired by the myriad of influences touching Middle Eastern dance from traditional to revolutionary, she continues to study intensely with many talented teachers and spreads her love for dance through performance and teaching.
