Sun, 3 Aug 2008 09:14:00 PST

Candelabras (Shemadan) - 2 Tiers Our Shemadan (candelabras) are made in Egypt by hand. Because of the nature of these handmade items, made by individual metal worker, in a developing nation, with the tools and materials available on hand at the time, it is expected that each Shemadan will vary slightly and that is will be naive in appearance, and not be to USA quality manufacturing standards. Your Shemadan is shipped to you the way we receive it, unassembled and you will have to assemble yours when it arrives. Your Shemadan may require a little shimming and hand re-forming of the metal pieces when you put it together. We send you detailed directions on how to assemble it, and directions on the care and use of your Shemadan. Also included with your Shemadan will be a Shemadan dancing fact sheet. Your Shemadan may vary slightly from the photos (each shipment varies just a bit). 2-Tier Price: $125 (US) Currently out of stock-check back in June 2013 We attempt to keep all styles in stock at all times, but it is not always possible since we are one of the few companies that import Candelabras and the demand for them sometimes catches us short. We ask your patience and understanding if we are unable to fill your order immediately.

Sun, 14 Jan 2007 19:14:00 PST

Sacred Woman, Sacred Dance By Iris Stewart. Sacred Woman, Sacred Dance is the first book to explore the hidden history of womens ways of expressing the Divine - through a study of the history of dance as an expression of spirituality. It describes sacred circles, birth rituals - belly dance, ecstatic dances, and dances of loss and grief (in groups and individually) that allow women to integrate the movements of faith, healing, and power into their daily life. The book demonstrates how dance, the highest expression of spirituality in cultures and traditions all over the world, is being integrated into the lives of women today. Iris investigates how dance came to be excluded from worship, and reveals how dance is once again being brought into spiritual practices. The book includes resources for further instruction in sacred dance. Sacred Woman, Sacred Dance is the perfect companion to The Belly Dance Book. Price: $29.95 (US)

The strengthening routine takes you through the full range of muscles used in floorwork and guides you in proper alignment for longevity in joints and muscles. Well explore a variety of methods of descending to and ascending from the floor, for flawless and floating level changes. To do this we will rely heavily on the quadriceps and core building methods introduced in the strengthening routine. The technique and layout section provides a variety of movements from classic to cutting edge, with a focus on core engagement and muscle control. Well go through a full body performance warm up which is designed to take place in costume since most of us get ready for shows in the back rooms of restaurants where we cant get down on the floor in our costume. There is also a costume tutorial to help troubleshoot common wardrobe malfunctions to ensure you will have confidence and freedom of movement. The combinations are designed to help you sequence the movements together. The basic combo brings together fluid transitions between accessible movements, isolations and layouts while the more advanced combo uses dynamic transitions and works with the music to create a dramatic routine. Running time: 115 min. DVD Price: $30 (US)
