Bellydance Basics - Level -1
This is a class for woman
and men of all ages, who would like to learn the basics of Middle
Eastern dance. We focus on the basic isolations, postures, and
movements that create the foundation of this ancient art form.
Dancing on this foundation, we can begin to explore our connection with
the Divine Feminine through our bodies - our bellies.
Bellydance Basics - Level -2
From the
foundation created in Level-1, this
class begins to explore variations on the basic
isolations and postures of Middle
Eastern dance. In addition, this class brings arms and moving
across the floor into play. Always we
move from our bellies as the seat of our creativity and expression!

Ballet With Heart ~ Beginning Ballet for
Children with Caroline
A Little about Myself~
My name is Caroline, I'm 18 years of age, and I love ballet and
children! I've been taking ballet lessons on & off my whole life,
but have gotten serious and passionate about it in the last 3 & a
half years. I love to perform, and have been in such productions as
"Dancing with Cranes," "Thumbelina," "Aladdin," and other ballet
variety shows with Theatre Street Dance in Yreka, CA. I'm still a
student with Theatre Street Dance, but I want to teach children
beginning ballet as I'm still learning. I feel that ballet is a
beautiful art that has benefited me greatly in my life, and could
benefit many others too with its movements, grace, and beauty. I want
to teach children ballet because I believe it can be fun and soothing,
physically, mentally, and spiritually for them. I want to bring lots of
joy to the children I dance with!
Class description~
The class I shall teach is a beginning ballet class for children aged
7-11. It will teach them the simple, basic movements of ballet and how
to flow with music. The class will include stretching, barre exercises,
center floor exercises, ballet-themed games, and a free style dance at
the end of each class for everyone to express themselves in whatever
way they want to move.

What critics and clients have to say:
" I would like to thank you for your love, your smile, The Flying Lotus
and what you offer there, dancing, singing...just EVERYTHING! The whole
experiance
I had there changed my view toward life completely, the Mother Nature,
the way
people I met there choose and live their own lives, all the
synchronicities and
coincidences...I realized dance (and good water) are essential to me.
Thank you
Ra-el, for your love and passion and encouraging us to be ourselves."

" I have worked in the enterainment industry for over 20 years. Working
not only as a professional actor, as well as a Casting Director in Los
Angeles
I have had thg opportunity to witness many diverse and varing forms of
theatre.Without
question, The Flying Lotus Production Ensemble is one of the most
original and
intriquing performance art groups, it has been my pleasure to witness.
Birth Unveiled is a synthesis of the arts of dance, music, drama and
storytelling
which offers its audience the strongest sense of truth. The Flying
Lotus examines
the human condition from the beginning. Literally and figuratively
birth in all
its splendor and drama is revealed to the audience members in such a
way that
touches the soul and lifts the heart. Birth UnVeiled is a celebration
of life
at its essence. I would encourage any expectant parent as well as the
general
public to witness for their selves this truth. Expect to walk away
feeling a
little better about the human race and carrying with you a knowledge
not yet
known to you!
Anthony Francis Green
Director, Producer, Actor, High and College Drama Instructor, Acting
Coach
" My backround as a former professional dancer, choreographer, actor,
and
dance instructor, qualifies me to enthusiastically recommend The Flying
Lotus.
i have seen many of their productions and found them educational, and
well rehearsed.
There is nothing like this educational performance art form anywhere
around our
area and
it is very informative as well as dealing with a celebration of the
earth, natural
birth, sacred dance, music, and art. I think they are a wonderful
addition ot
the arts in this county and should be supported in any way possible.

" Gra-el has taught me many things about life, and made me a better
person
and friend because of all the messages her class gave me. I have also
received
freedom of Spirit. i would like to give all the thanks for this to
Ra-el"
Rhea
age 9
" I've gotten love, friendship and an opening. I have learned love is
always
within someone, and if someone tries to put you down, you have the
power to put
a stop to it. Please spread the joy to others like you have joyfully
shared it
with us."
Shey
age 10
" I love Gra-el's class! I can dance from my heart, not worrying about
how
I look. My religion is dance and the power of the mind. This class is
like church.
I love coming, it helps open my mind and relax to heal my body. Her
class is
special, it changed me as a person. Thank you."
Ben
age 16
" Gra-el's class has really given me the chance I needed to be free.
Free
from the daily pressures of life. It has given me an outlet for pain
and also
for my creativity. The love and acceptance I have experienced has far
surpassed
my expectations. I love and cherish everything about it."
