Do you want to learn to make high-quality tribal belts? Would you like  to see a step-by-step demonstration of how they’re made? Then, this  workshop is for you!  
 How to Make Professional-looking Tribal Belts
 November 12th from 2 -4 p.m.
 
 Any level of sewing skill is welcome!
 
 We will be making a belt base that is custom-fit to the contours of  your body. You can also use this base to make a cabaret belt. I will give you lots of design ideas for tribal belts and show you examples of embellishment and closure options. You will receive detailed instructional handouts so you will have all the information you need to complete your belt.
 
 To register:
 Please send an email to haleh_dance@yahoo.com if you would like to

James Brown feared her sword, Robert De Niro gave her his number, and Sean Connery was inspired to dance with her.

She has a wealth of experience, traveling in North Africa, the Middle East, India, and Eastern Europe, to further explore belly dance and related dance forms.  Winning the double crowns “Ms. America ” and “Miss World” of the Belly Dance, in 1995 at the San Francisco Festival of Oriental Dance, Tamalyn went on to receive the Giza award for the video of “Infinito”, and “Best troupe” award from the International Academy of Middle Eastern Dance (IAMED), and was recently nominated in the category of “Best Cabaret Dancer” for the IAMED awards.  Currently, Ms. Dallal is working on a book, film, and music project entitled “40 Days and 1001 Nights”, in which she travels to five Islamic countries to live for 40 days in each. 

She is an extraordinarily creative, versatile and mesmerizing dancer, as well as an outstanding teacher.
