It's the dead time in DC, but don't fret, if you need inspiration, lyricism, accents which nourish rather than jerk the body, technique work, my very excellent teacher Noor-Jihan is beginning a seminar series at DC Dance Collective in the Tenley Circle area of Washington DC. 7 - 9 pm. Come to the first class to have a vote on what we're doing. Take one or two hrs. Probable scenario: 7 pm - (experienced) beginner/ Intermed technique; 8 pm - special topics. http://www.noor-jihan.com/ (caveat: there's some good info on the website but it's a little out of date)
