"Taqsims" are the soul of Middle Eastern music. We will work on some techniques for improvisation and learn how to respond to the improvisations by each instrument. It's not scary. It's fun and you will get a greater appreciation for dancing and the music we dance to.
Tamalyn Dallal has performed for stars such as Sean Connery, Michael Jackson and James Brown, the president of El Salvador, Saudi Arabian princes, and the King of Jordan (to name a few).
Directing the Mid Eastern Dance Exchange, a non profit organization, dance school and performing company, from 1990- 2007, she taught and mentored dancers such as Amar Gamal and Bozenka, Virginia, Hanan, Roshana Nofret, and others. She organized the Orientalia International dance festival and produced numerous theatrical productions.
Crowned "Miss America of the Bellydance" in 1995, she has performed and/or taught in 44 countries. She was one of the original "Bellydance Superstars", has written four books, produced two music CD's of Africa's oldest band, the "Ikhwan Safaa Musical Club of Zanzibar", and currently films ethnological dance documentaries; Zanzibar Dance, Trance and Devotion, was completed in 2011. Ms. Dallal released "Ethiopia Dances for Joy" in 2013.
She now lives in New Orleans, Louisiana and teaches workshops internationally, including an extensive tour in Asia and a yearly week long workshop in New Orleans. Tamalyn's latest endeavor is the children's book, "The Bellydancing Kitties of Constantinople," which was released in April, 2019. She is in the process of writing a script, using the same characters for an animated film.
