Chills, Thrills, and Drills
Mindblowing layers and combinations for Dark Fusion Bellydance! We will work. We will play. We will sweat. We will drill. We will have a blast! With an emphasis on proper form and carriage, we will build our dance vocabulary, putting it all together to move in ooey-gooey, poppy-lock-y and ethereal floaty ways–all in one workshop and with a darker tribal flavor! Wear comfy dance clothes and bring water and a yoga mat.
Sunday, August 5. 12-1:30pm (Bellydance jam afterward! Talk to Aepril about performing!) at Serendipitish on Artists Row, 24 Derby St, Salem. SOLD OUT!

Archer Mansion, 10 North St, Danvers, MA
7pm
Imagine an evening of lush mystery… a dimly lit mansion full of exotic delights… people swirling about in strangely lovely attire, all hidden with masks… who was that? Ah! The mystery of it all. Entertainments to enliven the heart, decadent morsels and wine to tempt the lips. Secret, hidden rooms full of wonder… a wink, and you may enter…
Darkly decadent AND sacred space for celebration and prosperity. Think the Masque from Labyrinth, from Legend, Moulin Rouge, Kushiel’s Dart… Dark Goddess…to know the seduction and cruelty of the Dark, embracing it like a lover. The flowering that comes from the dark soil of the earth, like Persephone from Dark Lord Hades… beautiful Hecate at the fire-lit Crossroads…Dark Aphrodite…Seductress Lilith…Isis, Ishtar…
This is…
… The Dark Goddess Masque.
Tickets:
$25 in advance ($35 at the door)

Read Aepril’s article “Shamanic Bellydance” in Belly Dance New EnglandMagazine!
“From guedra and zar, to trance dancing, ritual dance, and some forms of modern theatrical belly dance, shamanism has long intersected with belly dance. Shamanism is very, very old, reaching back into before the beginnings of recorded history…Shamans exist in tribal cultures; however, with the modern hunger for community and tribal belonging, shamanism holds interest and meaning for many in today’s world…”
