Are you in Pera Wear?

Pera Dance Studio has its own clothing line! We see it around the city, the United States, Canada and even France... its Pera Wear. Designed by the makers of the ever popular www.missbellydance.com All outfits are made of a comfortable stretch fabric that hugs the body but allows freedom of movement. When the line went out last year in Autumn 2010 the response was incredible. People bought outfits in bulk. The studio actually ran out and had to take reserved/backed orders to meet the demand.

Why do people want to wear Pera Wear? It's like candy for the bellydancer! The bright fun colours are made into sleek costumes that work perfect in the classroom as well as the club. So what you wear to class can be transformed into a cool outfit to wear out with friends later that night. It fits multiple sizes beginning with small up to xtra large. While the design team is expanding making a ton of other really fun costumes they know that Pera Wear still stands tall amongst the missbellydance fans and followers. They love it!

Troupe specials, Wholesale Accounts and more are available for this line of clothing. Visit Miss Bellydance.com for more information on these ultra cool dance items that are perfect for performances across multiple genres. Get into some Pera Wear and feel absolutely GLAMOUROUS!

Bellydance Cardio Classic at Pera Dance Studio Atlanta 3-17 May 2011

 Bellydance Cardio is one of the coolest raqs classes you can take! Every Tuesday at 8pm join Suhad "Susu Sharqi" in her popular Bellydance Cardio class. This course is designed to tone the body, shape up those hard to manage areas and get you fit while learning the art of Bellydance. Raved over by her students, Suhad's following has grown all over the city. In addition to teaching at multiple studios, workshops and classes she's got her own brand of Raqs that has her fans following her wherever she goes. A long time member and partner with Pera Dance Studio and MissBellyDance.com, this authentic Raqs instructor from Palestine goes above and beyond with her students teaching them the culture, the language and the real music of the east.

The class has defined the waistlines of some of Atlanta's most active students and teachers and has left more than enough visitors so impressed that they've begun their own Susu Sharqi fanclub by attending all of her events. With a successful class on Saturdays we're extending it now to Tuesdays to compliment our line of multi-genre bellydance classes. We're excited and thrilled to have this class during the week so that everyone can enjoy her instruction more than once at our Studio. Join us every Tuesday at 8pm sharp starting May 3rd. First class is free for current members of Pera  who have a class card and half price for non members ($6). We look forward to seeing you and thanks so much for making Pera Dance your home for global movement and international dance education!

Anasma Fusion Bellydancer Takes Pera by Storm

What can we say? She won our hearts!! Anasma was indeed one of the most precious Fusion Bellydance artists we've ever met! She came in so polite like a newly blossomed flower...she and her fans. Between she and Jenny of World Bellydance Alliance we couldn't be more loved! Their February workshop was incredible with two sessions (Friday and Saturday) tucked away in the lovely halls of the studio. They danced, yipped and did all kind of fusion filled fun movements. The Pera staff was delighted and couldn't help but go back and peek at some of the excitement.

When the workshop was over the ladies filled the front showroom snuggled up in hugs complimenting each other and, of course, trying on outfits and taking photos. Pera Dance staff thanks members of the African Asian Exchange for making that happen along with World Bellydance Alliance for choosing Pera as their home for Global Movement and the Anasma workshop. We welcome all participants and friends anytime!

We recently caught up with Anasma via email where she sends us these fine photos of her recent shoot in Pera Dance Wear! Awesome Anasma! We Thank You!

Mavi stopped by with Awalim

From Pera member Andye AndinhaNiakan:

As volunteers and hobbits of the studio we were all glad she was coming. It's one of the rare moments we get to really step into the world of American Tribal Style Bellydance seen from an International perspective. The workshop and programme were advertised all over the city and everyone was glad Awalim chose Pera to hold the workshop. I think it's the second time they've had an event at this location The first being a Harvest Hafla featuring their friends, members of various bellydance communities and friends.

This weekend Awalim hosted Mavi (who is often seen at TribalCon) in a workshop and as a headliner at their Tribal Carnival Show held at The Redlight Cafe. Workshop included two extensive classes, Dum-Tek-A-Dubstep and Dark Sword. Again, its really awesome to see the tribal fusion genre and ATS in the studios of Pera. The atmosphere is completely global and all incompassing so kudos to both for bringing that kind of material to Atlanta.

Looking forward to more cool things from all parts of the community. Join Pera Dance, Awalim and Mavi online and on Facebook.
