		<description><![CDATA[Power, grace and body control that are the pillars of this dance. Dismiss what you think of as stereotypes in bellydance…the women in this community are powerful. We dance to be strong, joyful and healthy. I often have women tell me they want to learn this dance for their husbands, I tell them your partner will actually get more out of it by the fact you are in a good mood when you return home from class, that you are feeling fit and that you are more self confident. Our main goals in class are to not only counteract the body type messages girls and women are receiving, but to also educate people about bellydancers and the culture that this dance form emerged from. First lesson is that neither size nor age has anything to do with your strength, stamina, or flexibility. Second lesson is that all kinds of people (yes, that&#8217;s right, both men and women) bellydance! Just in our little community in the Southeast US we have doctors, teachers, yoga instructors, Muslims, event producers, parents, home schoolers, executives, high school students, computer geeks, Christians, painters, accountants, etc…..you name it and we probably have one! The one thing they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are so proud. Awalim member, Teejei Brigham has joined Brizeus!! She will be playing with them at this year&#8217;s Pennsic Wars and performing for Awalim members Majda and Ziah at Curee Salee. Here&#8217;s a little about this fantastic group: Brizeus is a group of pipers, drummers, and string players based all over the USA performing Celtic, historic European, and original folk dance music at outdoor festivals. We try to look the part from modern Highland games to historical festival to bellydance convention and will field a band of 2-6 players depending on the needs of the event. We sometimes play unplugged with just pipes and drums or with a PA into which we plug in a bouzouki and more bagpipes, flutes, smallpipes, and bombard. We jump around a lot. We&#8217;re always in tune. We teach dances to folks who want to learn. Learn More Here]]></description>
