The Attar Collective Attar started in 2008 by Tanya, Kashmir and Zumarrad with the idea that pool of dance professionals and serious dance recreationalists with knowledge, skills and expertise could support and develop Belly Dance and Belly Dance professionals in New Zealand.
We started with some teacher training workshops and then decided to break out and provide a mini-festival where we designed a balanced program and picked some good teachers to deliver it. This is touring around New Zealand in February/March 2010.

The Obsessive Image -looking at the dark side - part lecture, part physical workout
Building from the Base -what it actually means to "know" a move step through manipulation
Taking it Further - pushing familiar movements a little further
Latin Feet -adding a Latin flavour to your fusion
The Tribal Family Tree -history and practical with several genres of Tribal style bellydance
Tribal Bonds - Tribal improvisational movement development and musical theory
Self Assessment - tools to observe and measure some physical limitations

Belly Dance - the last 100 years -a multimedia presentation looking at the development worldwide (includes part of Zum's thesis)
