Schadia NKOTB Cruise

 

Do you *need* a fabulous group of Blockhead Belly Dancers on Rock This Boat 2? YES! Every great party needs a Belly Dancer!
I'm Schadia & I own Atlanta Belly Dance in Atlanta, Georgia where we that teach all Belly Dance all the time. I'm also a New Kids missionary, introducing as many people as possible to the a-mazing music of NKOTB. My dancers say that everyone loves New Kids by the time they leave our studio. Heeeeeeeeeey! That's right! 
 
I threw a Cruising Vicariously party last year for my troupe dancers, I put photos below. As you can see, Donnie made an appearance ... he took some pics w/ the ladies, took part in the photo booth... well, a picture of Donnie did. hee hee!  It was super fun. We danced, laughed and had a ball - literally!
 
This year I am on the boat w/ four other Blockhead Belly Dancers!  Durri & Daanah are both in my amateur dance company Nazeem Alsabah. Heather & Emily are Daanah's sister & niece. It's the first cruise for all of us, and as you can imagine an absolute dream come true.
 
Can you belly dance to the New Kids sound? Oh heck yeah you can!!! I've created choreographies to Dirty Dancing, Block Party, I Need a Melody and Remix. We also did a flash mob at a show last year to I Need a Melody. It was so awesome!  
Check out a video of my 1st performance of I Need a Melody
 
Here's a clip of Dirty Dancing
 
 
Belly dance is such a sassy and colorful activity. It is practically made for television. It's sexy, but female friendly. It's something both women & men love and a lot of women "have always wanted to try." It's perfect for RTB2!!!
How would I know?  My dancers & I have been filmed for segments in a number of reality shows, including Real Housewives of Atlanta, The Braxton Family Values, Love and Hip Hop, Get Swank'd, etc. As part of the shows, we've taught the cast how to belly dance and then danced with them. 
 
All five of the cruising Blockhead Belly Dancers know the choreography to I Need a Melody. We'd loooooooooooooove to do it on the ship & on the RTB2 for you! Heck, I'd love to teach it to every girl on the ship & do a ship wide flash mob event. How hot would that be?! We'd love to surprise the Guys... and maybe teach Jenny how to belly dance... It would be so fun!!! And, I can choreograph anything. Bring it on!
 
The New Kids and belly dance are my love, my hobbies, my passion & my happy place. It would be so amazing and such an honor to represent them both in such a public way. Plus, it's not really a great party until you have a belly dancer... or 2 ... or 5 ... or 1,000! Let's rock this boat!!! 
 
These two clips show what belly dance can do for woen. They also have interviews with me.

 

 
I would love to hear back from you. All five of us Atlanta BellyDance Blockheads arrive on Tuesday (10-6-15) to Miami.
Thank you so much for your time, energy and effort.
 
Your Sincerely,
 
Schadia

Level Overview    Cost & Register      Level 1 - Level 2 - Level 3 - Level 4 - Level 5 - Level 6

Marjaan 9837Level 4 Certification

Preparing for Level 4 Test:

Students at level 4 should have all the fundamentals down, be able to maintain all basic moves at the shimmy (quadruple) speed and do all of our basic traveling moves. They should also have learned the basics of sword balancing & veil work.  Going to an even higher level of technique, students striving to test at level 4 will continue to develop their sword & veil dancing skills while obtaining the new skills of layering.  Students will also be tested on basic zill playing at Level 4. 

Layering is the concept of demonstrating two or more skills simultaneously. For example, doing a knee shimmy while doing a horizontal hip circle, doing a choo choo shimmy w/ a horizontal hip figure 8 or doing any move while playing the zills.

Students can obtain the skills for Level 4 through taking our special Layering Technique Courses and Workshops as well as focusing on some of our more advanced fusion choreographies like I Need a Melody & 100 Eyes, as well as more traditional choreographies like Yoam Al Has.  They should also thoroughly explore our Basic Zill Technique Courses & Workshops and focus on completing some of our many zill choreographies like Ragheb, Jasmine, Amar Haween, Shefait, etc.

Level 4 Testing:

You will be tested on two choreographies, which you will perform in small groups:
TBA Date: TBT

You will also be tested on the following techniques, which you will perform in small groups:
