Community Drum Jam

A drum circle for all!!! Feel the pulse at Tree of Life while we build community through rhythm, song & dance. Café Touba will be open; enjoy an organic coffee drink, smoothie, a fresh juice or tea. Tree of Life Studio was voted best smoothies from Ann Arbor Current. ALL AGES WELCOME! Free.

Held on the fourth Friday of every month, from 8 til 11pm.

There will be no Community Drum Jam in December, due to the holiday bustle.  We hope to see you on the fourth Friday of January to ring in the New Year!

In the meantime, be sure to check out the monthly Drum Circle hosted by Tree of Life Dance & Drum Society’s own Don Allen!  It is held the first Saturday of every month at Cafe 704 at the Interfaith Center in Ann Arbor (704 Airport Blvd.).  The group meets from 7:30 to 9:00 PM, and provides plenty of instruments.  Of course, you are welcome to bring your own and come out to show support for your local artistic community!

girls night out

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!

Every other Friday, Jan 20th to March 30th @ 7 pm
Instructor: Jenabah

Drop ins are welcome.
$20.00 per workshop or $90.00 for all if you pay by Jan 20th.

Due to the amount of fun all of us ladies had during our first run of girls night out and our introduction to Burlesque.... We will indeed be offering another series!  We will meet up every other Friday from 7 - 9 pm beginning January 20th for a total of 6 fun filled, sassy, sexy dance classes.

This is your opportunity to unleash your flirty side and become free from your inhibitions.  We will explore the world of burlesque as we learn sassy dance moves while using various props and  discovering graceful ways to peel off our satin gloves. Learn why the art of seduction has more than one approach.  Are you a flirty sex kitten, a steamy seductress, or a wanton wild woman?  Using traditional burlesque techniques and classic  strip tease movements you’ll learn th e art of slow sensuality, flirtatious teasing and hard hitting sexiness.  Workshops will improve strength, flexibility and cardio – everything you need to make him beg for more. Burlesque combines elements  of acting, modeling and dance. It cultivates confidence, bold femininity, and a sense of humor.  Bring your booty shorts, barefeet and a boa if you have one. 

Must be 21 or older.

Tribal Fusion workshops & Hafla with Jenabah @ CZIGANY STUDIO

Saturday, Jan 28th from 12 to 11 pm
Instructor: Jenabah

Tribal Fusion Technique & Drills: 12 to 2 pm

This workshop will focus on fine-tuning various Tribal Belly Dance movements by gaining a deeper understanding of where, in our bodies, those movements come from. We will drill and learn tips and tricks to achieving those lovely arms, beautiful hands, precise hip movements, pristine drops and spectacular spins. Bringing it all together as we explore further with formations and group improvisation is what tribal style is all about!   

Tribal Fusion Combos: 3 to 5 pm

Add some new vocabulary into your tribal repertoire with original combinations by Jenabah. From earthy to upbeat, Jenabah fuses movements from Brazil, Spain, India, East Africa and West Africa with basic tribal moves. Take home with you the Sevillanas Spin, Indiama Walk, Samba Shimmy Shake, Lets Go, Whirlwind and The Demon Drop.

These workshops are open to all levels, though some familiarity with basic Tribal movements and concepts will be helpful.

- Workshops $30 each or both for $55
- Hafla $5
