Since many of you have asked, join Natasya for special workshop in Russian Gypsy (ciganskie) Balkan, Turkish Roman, and Greek folkdance steps adapted for stage & bellydance.  Folkdance is the original "Tribal" dance and fuses nicely with bellydance in Balkan Gypsy music.

Learn folkloric steps & combinations which fit seamlessly into folklore-infused solos or partner/group Tribal style bellydance.

Combinations include:  steps for 2/4, 4/4, or 8/8 Balkan music, steps for 9/8 Turkish Roman Havasi (gypsy), Greek karsilima 9/8 partner combinations, and folklore-fused ATS/ITS combinations. 

Class Level:
For dancers with basic dance skills or advanced dancers wishing to widen their repertoire

What to wear/bring:
bare feet or dance shoes only.  No heels or street shoes.
Bring a bandana or kerchief to twirl

Instructor:
Natasya Katsikaris is a 2nd generation Greek-American who has been folkdancing since age 6.

Class Location:
Sacred Space is Ojai’s premiere dance & yoga studio.  Spacious and inviting, with wood floors, full mirrors, and raised stage for good visibility.  Ample free parking.

Studio Address:  410 Bryant Circle, Unit A,  Ojai, CA  93023
