Course Descriptions
DRILLS - Borrowing from drills learned from the top instructors, we will work on specific isolations and
combinations to build and improve muscle memory, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and strength. The goal
in this class is through repetition, to develop clear muscle articulation so we can call upon an arsenal of finely
honed movements when needed. Plan to sweat and feel like you've worked out when you leave. Sabylla will
literally be the drill sergeant you wish you had at home to provide the motivation and encouragement to practice
the way you should!!
THIS IS NOT A TECHNIQUE class. It is recommended for individuals grounded in BellaBelly Level I technique.

NORTH
Where is the North Studio??
2906-A Tazewell Pike, 37918 (across from Party City)
If you know where Tazewell Pike is, you're in business! If you don't, imagine the area of town where
Broadway crosses I-640. If you are ON Broadway, heading AWAY from Downtown, you would be in the
right-most lane that veers off to Tazewell Pike. The driveway to the little office park housing the TCFA
Studio is literally the first right you take coming off of the ramp from Broadway. You'll see Party City, CC's
Pizza, Atomic Pawn and SunTrust bank on one side of the street; TCFA is across the street! Good luck!

Bellydance Basics – (aka Girls Night Out Bellydance) --- a fun and fast-paced overview of fluid and percussive
bellydance moves for new belly dancers. Ideal for groups of friends, mother/daughter bonding, anyone looking for
a no-pressure, social activity that will get you out of the house, out of the office and out of the mundane -- moving
and laughing and making new friends. New material is introduced each week of the 8-week session. Previous
material briefly reviewed as time allows. No experience needed. Students may repeat this class as many times as
they like!
Bellydance I - An introduction to and progressive skill building of technique starting with foundational posture,
upper and lower-body isolations, traveling steps, and handy combinations. No previous dance experience
required.
Bellydance II --Picking up where Bellydance I leaves off, continuing the focus on learning and polishing basic
isolations, adding increasingly difficult traveling steps, combinations, layers and levels, and introducing props
such as zils, cane, and veil. Drills and conditioning specific to the rigors and demands of bellydancing are
introduced. By permission of teacher.
For Bellydance I & II, students are provided with a syllabus at the beginning of each session describing exact
course content. Bellydance students may ask to be evaluated at anytime to determine if advancement to another
class level is appropriate or just to assess areas of needed focus.
Bellydance III - Intermediate level choreographies incorporating skills mastered in Bellydance I and II, and
introducing concepts of costuming, staging, performance persona/presentation and professional ethics.
With the focus on choreography, Bellydance III students have the opportunity to purchase detailed choreography
notes and videos - normally available within the first 2-3 weeks of the session. Cd's are also made available.
Discounted bundle rates are offered.
While not required to participate, Bellydance III students may indicate interest to be considered members of the
BellaBelly Student Troupe and may be offered occasional opportunities to perform at public events. It is strongly
recommended that students in Bellydance III continue to take advantage of other skill building classes such as
Bellydance I, II, Bellydance Fitness, or private instruction with Sabylla. This class is by permission of teacher.
| <><><><><><><><><><><><><> What: Bellydance II Register through TCFA. Teacher permission required. Where: TCFA - West (see directions below.) WHEN: Wednesdays, 7:30 p.m. <><><><><><><><><><><><><> Where is the West Studio?? 8705 Unicorn Drive If you know where the ORNL Credit Union on Kingston Pike is, or Rothschild's, or Event Rentals, or Grayson Pontiac Jeep --- you're ahead of the game. TCFA is in that vicinity; it can be seen from the interstate but not the road it's actually on! 8705 Unicorn Drive is located behind Jim Grayson Pontiac (between the Cedar Bluff and Bridgewater exit off I-40/75). Take either Martinwood Road or Kings Way off of Kingston Pike and turn onto Unicorn Drive. The Conservatory is located in a one-story building that actually faces AWAY from Unicorn Drive. To get to the front door, drive through the parking area that faces the interstate. Depending on the road you take (Martinwood or Kings Way), you'll either see Knoxville Blue Print and Rack and Run, or Spine and Sport and Chef Dave's. TCFA is the second door from the east end of the building. Good luck! <><><><><><><><><><><><><> |
