New Dance Studio To Open in Richmond

This just in – I received this press release from a lovely person named Khalima who wants you to know about her studio:  Illumination:  Khalima Dance Studio and Workshop.  If you have ever watched Shimmy on FitTV and wondered just how different it is from real Belly Dancing, this is your chance to find out.  Khalima’s studio is exclusively dedicated to all forms of Middle Eastern Dance, and not only does she instruct on a true art form, she is committed to providing a place where it is safe for women and children to grow and learn.  Here is the press release:

Bellydance performer, instructor, and innovator Khalima of Khalima Dance LLC
will be opening the doors to Richmond’s very first studio dedicated to
Middle Eastern Dance this summer. A grand opening hafla and tour will
commence on September 12th, 2010 at 2pm.

“Every bellydancer should have a solid foundation in the authentic roots of
the many styles that abound today,” said Khalima, “Illumination is a
comfortable and encouraging environment for exploring dance, personal
strength and beauty, and creative expression. Your training at Khalima Dance
is a springboard for your own dance style.”

Khalima is an Art Fusion and Modern Egyptian-style belly dancer with solid
grounding in Oriental dance, whose many teachers include world-renowned
dancers Najia Samiya, Sahra Saeeda, and Jehan Kamal. She believes that
strong roots are the foundation for beautiful and unique stylization.

Khalima Dance Studio is the premier location for learning the practice and
history of Middle Eastern Dance. The curriculum is rounded out with a
variety of local teachers offering weekly classes in many styles of
traditional and fusion belly dance, select variations of yoga including
Tantra and Egyptian, classes for children, musical instruction, and Tarot
instruction and readings. Illumination is also the Central Virginia hub for
instruction by international stars, and is stocked with unique merchandise
to augment the student experience.

For more information, call 804.549.3982 or email

khalima.bellydance@gmail.com <info@khalimadance.com>.

Khalima tells me there is a scholarship program for students who are interested but unable to afford tuition, and she will be involved in the community and hosting many events designed to empowering women in our area.  Take a look at some of the amazing pictures she sent:

As you can see, the studio is almost ready, so mark your calendar for the September 12th hafla and tour.  We’ll see you there!
