~ $40 early bird/ $50 after Oct 31

A class inspired in equal parts by Flamenco, the Fine Art of flirtation, old dance hall...
and every performer's need for self-defense. Onça's Fan Fusion is long on musicality, emotive power, 
attitude and upper body strength. Savor the flavor of Duende (passion), and explore the potential of every
 women's indispensible tool; the Fan.

Most fans will work: feather fans and fan veils will be discussed,
 but are not usable for the purposes of class. 
Onça's preferred fans will be for sale at the event, or bring your own.

~ $40 early bird/ $50 after Oct 31

(No previous singing is required. For everyone who wants to sing, plus melody and percussion accompaniment.) 
We will learn how to sing some Southeastern European songs, explore different ways to harmonize with each other, 
and deepen an appreciation for loud, clashing notes.

~ $40 early bird/ $50 after Oct 31

Out there dancing? Have something to say! This high-spirited, concept-driven class presents a range of evocative moods 
- spirited, celebratory, passionate, somber...maybe even a little bit of Evil.
 Onça has undertaken intense study of Narrative bellydance and is on a serious mission to nurture 
authentic self-expression among the world's Tribal Fusionistas. 
This class is GREAT for getting dancers laughing, building community, and making memories.

~ $40 early bird/ $50 after Oct 31

Finally, a method for playing intuitively and spontaneously--improvisation is de-mystified!
 August will teach some guidelines that can improve soloing and playing off the cuff. 
The class will also address how to play a supportive role with other musicians and how to 
manage group dynamics with everyone coming out smelling like roses...musically speaking.

BEWARE! con artist in the area!

My friend Mandee(jazz singer extroidinare) was kind enough to take this man in and he stole from her, any advice concerns or words about this much appreciated...

here's her post:
This man took my car, computer, and trust....
Category: Life

Last week my husband and I allowed a young man to stay with us. I met
him in NYC, he was very sweet and charming. He was well educated and I
was sooooo naive. He said his name was Jorge (or George )DeCastro
Garcia, and he was a pilot with IFL , a company which supposedly
worked for the UN. He said he had  the weekend of the 4th of July off,
and I invited him to Pittsburgh to see my show, emceeing for the
Bellydance is Beautiful show. He flew in, stayed 4 days in my home and
left , with our Saturn SL1 2002 lisence plate FRP3900 , the Macbook
Pro, the harddrive, a Canon A 530 camera, our ipod and my trust. If
you see him, let the authorities and me know, don't approach him,
don't put yourself in danger, and don't trust him. Zone 3 Police is in
charge of the investigation :412-488-8326

Too see a photo of him:

Please, Tommy and I are still very sad over this, thankfully we have
good insurance, what we don't have is the harddrive with all of our
memories, so if you have any photos or video of us over the last few
years, if it occurs to you to send it on over, that is what is really
hurting. The stuff is just stuff, we are with Sate Farm , Lynn in
Darla Zeli's office is so supportive, I am typing to you now on her
laptop, a loaner from her til we get a replacement.....

His email is ...@gmail.com> , I don't think you can use
an email to track down a person, but my friends are smart.....

Seriously, I don't think he is dangerous, but you don't know what he's
mixed up in, so don't approach, just be aware...he said he wanted to
go Burning Man this year, so if you see him, beware, land pirate,
beware!!!!!
