What if hundreds of people united, each putting in place the changes they wish to see in their city, all on the same day?
This is the goal of 100 In 1 Day, where no idea is too small to make your city or community a better place to live.
100 In 1 Day is an effort to invoke active citizenship through local engagement in creative small-scale acts or events known as urban interventions.
Join us Sat June 3rd for a FREE Basics class at 10:45AM. No strings. Just come (with water & wearing clothes you can move freely in, socks or dance shoes if you want but bare feet is great too)
We are in downtown Hamilton at 1 West Ave S, Suite 300 (3F), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. There is free parking at our building. Join us!
Bollywood with Faith at Mahasti
Sun June 11th
11:15AM-1:45PM
$30 (crazy deal!)
Bollywood is back! Suitable for beginners and up, this class presents the style of dance seen in Indian cinema. The dance is cardio-driven, joyful, and often silly, with an emphasis on the fun of dancing together and telling a story through song. Movements are presented from the ground up with modifications offered for all levels, from total beginners to advanced dancers alike! You’ll learn gestures, meaning, and lyrics as we learn a short choreography to pull all these elements together in an expressive dance. Warning: Laughter may ensue!

7PM Pay What You Can / Drop In Bellydance
Drop in to this class anytime you are free. We’ll cover the building blocks of bellydance. Perfect for the total beginner or those dancers looking to refine their technique. This class also acts as a bridge class to our choreography offerings. We work a little slower & with more focus but you’re still doing the “real stuff.” Sometimes we do combinations, other times we pick a shape or a style to explore. We might pick a movement family like shimmies or traveling (just a fancy word for walking around the dance floor). If all of this means nothing to you – don’t fret! We’ll explain it all from the ground up.
8PM Performance Prep
We’ll be exploring improv skills, props and talking about elements that will take your performance to the next level. We’d recommend you get a few lessons under your hip scarf before diving into this class.
This schedule runs until Thurs 6/29.
Expand your bellydance vocabulary with our 2nd Fusion Intensive. This is the first time ever these artists have taught together! It’s a special chance to study with them both!
