Ali Baba

2008-12-01T04:00:00Z

Ali Baba (the black sheep of the Baba family) is on a hero’s quest. He is aided by our narrator, the beauteous Scheherazade, and by a wry Genie (“I prefer Eugene”) and opposed by the arch-villain Pasha Poobah, who plans to subjugate the world by commandeering a certain precious dark substance. Along the way Ali meets Brooklyn-born Ruby Twankey and her mute daughter, Pearl, who operate a Bedouin-breakfast in the desert; an English twit-and-punk pair called Fish and Chip; and a singing-dancing Camel. All of the Panto elements are here: broad humor, puns in abundance, cross-dressing, topical references, wacky romance, wild costumes, audience retorts and an eclectic score with themes pilfered from Rimsky-Korsakov. .

If you have taken belly dance lessons with another instructor, this class will familiarize you with Tiazza's teaching style and technique.
Young, old, fat, thin, tall, short; any woman can become a graceful and beautiful dancer under Tiazza’s tutelage. This class is the place to begin your journey of discovery.
In this dance technique class, you’ll learn all the foundations of this ethnic dance form and get some great exercise. This class will cover the basics of hip, rib cage, and arm isolations, as well as simple turns, traveling steps, veil work, combinations, and choreography. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows for ease of movement. Come join us for creative movement and exercise in a positive and fun setting!
