Now located at 49 Frasers Rd in Kaikorai Valley, the new Kazbah Studio will welcome local and visiting bellydance specialists for workshops tomorrow and Saturday, and will host a variety of local performance groups for a show on Saturday evening, at 7pm.
In a press release, a studio spokes person said the workshops would be led by practitioners of different bellydance styles, including Samantha Flowernova, of Christchurch, who will teach the ‘‘Divine Chaos Fusion Skirt’’ style; Sylvia Edge, of Wellington, who will teach the ‘‘Fat Chance Belly Dance’’ tribal style; and Siobhan Camille, of the Netherlands, teaching Egyptian ‘‘Raks Shaqi’’ bellydance.
All three will perform their respective bellydance styles during the show on Saturday evening, along with a showcase by the Khamzin Bellydancers, dancers from The MayaDhara international school of classical Indian dance, and the Jack Frost Morris dancers.
Local drum ensemble Unfortunate Repercussions will perform using a mix of Eastern and Western instruments and drums, and will be joined by a visiting didgeridoo player.
Everyone interested in dance and music is welcome to attend the workshops and concert, and there will be prizes for the best Halloween costume.
