DJ Amar - Mastering Your Mix
(music mixing workshop for dancers)
10am-12pm
Learn how to make an impressive sounding mix for your next performance using industry standard state of the art software that you can download free. With a few simple steps you can adjust bass, midrange and treble frequencies; cross-fade one track into the next or edit a track down to just the portions you need; adjust the volume on one song if it is noticeably lower or higher than another; add layers using beats and ambient melodies from other songs. This workshop will give an overview of key features and shortcuts to get yourself started, show you how to edit a track, use the fade in and out feature, add a second track, and make a mix using 3 songs with one piece of music overlayed on another so you can learn how to mix a continuous set with smooth transitions for your performances.
Sherri Wheatley - Combos and Transitions
1pm-4pm
Combos and Transitions: Learn interesting new combinations that really emphasize the “fusion” in tribal fusion bellydance. Develop techniques to make your combinations and choreography less predictable by utilizing different planes of space and exploring varied staging options. Strong emphasis is also placed on creating interesting transitions between combinations to make choreography more varied. Mini “workshop within the workshop” will consist of several exercises that will help dancers connect to their inner muses and learn effective techniques to generate new choreography. Workshop will conclude with a choreography composed of the various combinations and transitions we will learn in class.

Electric Vardo began in March 2005, exploring eastern gypsy culture through music, dance, visual & culinary art. The collective included co-founders DJ Amar, DJ Sep and Ultra Gypsy, with partners DJ Dragonfly, Frederique, Freyja, Sooozhyq and Calamity Sam. Electric Vardo extended family members include Dhamaal, Sila & the Afrofunk Experience, Tabla Rasa, Rena Jones, Boom Boom Bollywood, Dholrhythms, Triple Power, Lumin, Kitundu, Soulsalaam, Cheb i Sabbah, Sub Swara, Atash Maya, SooozhyQ, Beats without Borders, the Nekyia, Clandestine, Surya Dub, Non Stop Bhangra, Cheb i Sabbah, The Groove Garden, Hookahdome, Zulu Lounge… and the list goes on.
On June 30th 2006 we hosted “Midsummernight Breaks” – a smashing reunion of the original Dhamaal DJs (Janaka Selekta, Maneesh the Twister, Dhruva) combined with a live set by Sub Swara (Dhruva, Sunder, Haj), joined by Kush Arora with Bellydance performances by Frederique & Haven, and an opening set with Amar. We’ll be planning another one this year.
In April 06 we had a special night at Club Six feauring DJ SEP & CHEB i SABBAH & AMAR with FREDERIQUE & Special guest HAVEN, & a unique performance by AMAR+ FREDERIQUE+SOOOZHYQ, the closing night of Dhamaal’s 3rd annual Sights & Sounds festival.
May 2007 marked the first Cosmik Casbah - a partnership with DJ Amar & DJ Dragonfly - Celebrating the weekend of Tribal Fest, bringing night-time entertainment for the masses of Tribal / Fusion Belly Dancers who travel from around the world and spend the week in Sebastopol. We offer a different experience to complement the festivities during the day. While we have a select few performances by featured dancers Exclusively performing at the afterparty, our focus is on the music, on the dancefloor. We bring in Musical acts ranging from Beats Antique to Maduro, Cheb i Sabbah to Ana Sia to fuel the dancefloor, Live musical acts ranging from Dan Cantrell's hand-picked ensembles to Beatbox Guitar's unique ethno-acoustic sounds.
Each year we bring you something different. Different from last year, different from Tribal Fest, different each night.
