About Artemis*******************************
Artemis has been dancing, teaching and researching dance history in the United States and abroad for her entire adult life. Artemis is of Greek and Turkish descent. She fuses her love of these cultures with strong academic knowledge and excellent dance technique. She brings her spirited and articulate technique to workshops which include information on the history and cultures that generate the dances she teaches. She believes that we can all use art to build bridges across cultures.
Artemis has contributed to many publications. Extensive travel to 33 countries and intensive research into the idioms of the East, women's issues, psychology, ancient history, oriental dance, Rromany (Gypsy) dance and dance ethnology have yielded many manuscripts and articles.
She continues to produce new articles every year. Artemis has an M.A. in psychology, an M.S.W. in social work (with specialized studies in cross cultural awareness) and has done postgraduate work in dance movement therapy. Her research is used by Egyptian universities, the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. and the Library for the Performing Arts in New York. She has lectured, taught and/or performed for Cornell University and Princeton University, National Public Radio (NPR), Voice of America and in Spain, England, France, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Canada, Japan, Greece, Turkey and in 29 states within the United States. Artemis is a member of the Society of Folk Dance Historians. She uses her writing and her dance and history lectures to fight the racism which exists against the Roma. Her humanitarian interests extended to helping the survivors of hurricane Katrina and she received the key to the city of Lafayette for these efforts. She also continues in her efforts to have Middle Eastern dance receive the recognition and respect that every other legitimate dance form enjoys.
Artemis has done field research in ancient dance, Middle Eastern dance and Rromany (Gypsy) dance in Turkey, Romania, Czech Republic, Spain, France, England, Morocco, Tunisia, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, Egypt and Greece. She has attended Rromany Festivals in France, Turkey and Romania. She has collected wonderful video footage of Rroma people in which they are dancing, celebrating and experiencing everyday life. Artemis continues to collect antique pictures of women and dancers from North Africa and the Middle East and of the Rroma throughout the world. Her collection is one of the largest in the United States and some illustrations have been used by the International Encyclopedia of Dance, the Smithsonian Institution, the largest Rromany Museum in the world (in the Czech Republic), the Rromany archives at the University of Texas collected by Ian Hancock, all the major Middle Eastern Dance publications and in several books. Much of this material will be used in her upcoming DVD and book on Romany dance and history (target date is set for 2008).
Artemis is listed in the International Dance Council (CID) Who's Who of Dance. Her photograph can be found in the International Encyclopedia of Dance under the listing for "danse du ventre" (which translates to "Belly dance") which is produced by the Oxford University Press. She has won the "Ethnic Dancer of the Year Award" presented by the International Academy of Middle Eastern Dance (IAMED) and has won the "Most Popular Ethnic Dancer Award" from Zaghareet Magazine twice. Artemis has also won their "LIfetime Achievment Award."
Artemis teaches regular classes, private lessons, workshops on the dance form commonly referred to as "Belly Dance" which, after 35 years of experience, she can cover from A to Z. She is best known for her specialized workshops on the Turkish Oriental and Turkish Rromany dance genres. Artemis is constantly creating new workshops and she is presenting a series of workshops of all new Turkish material.
Learn the basic movements of bellydance. Jendayi will cover the basic movements of bellydance in great detail. Each week will focus on one specific energy point within the body i.e. Pelvis, Belly, Solar Plexus, Chest, Head, Arm, etc. This class teaches most basic movements such as camels, mayas, shimmies, basic chest movements and basic hip movements and simple traveling movements such as pivot turns and 3 step turns. A great introduction to the world of bellydance without a long term committment. This class will also give you a solid foundation for other more structured classes.

Beledi - Middle Eastern Dance Age 18+
An ancient form of Middle Eastern dance that had its
beginnings in village and tribal life. Its origin stems from the
veneration of the woman’s procreative powers. It is not just
a night club entertainment, as is thought by many in western
cultures, but is a ‘people’s’ dance. All participate in this
expression/celebration of life: young and old, male and female.
Beledi is also an effective recreational activity. One does not
have to be proficient in the dance to derive enjoyment form the
physical release it provides. It can be practiced by individuals
at all levels of physical ability. Dance to the music for regions
of the world and learn history, culture, folkloric dance and
costuming specific to each region. You will work muscles rarely
used in Western style dancing while learning about the origin
and history of belly dance. Sure to be a fun class. (10 wks.)
