A "specialty workshop" is a few hours+ of one day, reasonably priced, mini workshop with an advanced level teacher typically not accessible to us in the immediate Dayton area that will provide students with special instruction. Examples of such are Conchi from Cincinatti teaching a class focused on veil and double veil, Ergallis Kakias from Columbus teaching zill patterns and dance movement combinations, Katy w/Anaya Gypsy teaching tribal, etc. Sewing and drum workshops will also be offered as specialty classes.
This format is intended to make studying with some of our great teachers outside Dayton, more accessible then trying to set up private instruction and traveling to them, which is a great deal more expensive. It is intended to give us all the opportunity to expand our knowledge by concentrating intensely on a particular "Specialty" area of the dance and jump start us to a new level of ability. It is also a great way to get started with a new element of the dance you may not have incorporated yet.
Please note that the Specialty Classes deliberately begin at 12:00 or later so as not to be quite so early in the AM. Please eat before you come to the workshop as the break will NOT be long enough to leave the studio for "lunch" AND bring yourself what ever food/drink items you need/want to sustain yourself for the afternoon. There will be a long enough break to eat.
Please also note: The policy of the Oasis is NO REFUNDS of registration or ticket fees unless we cancel the event.
