Chelydra
Chelydra has been a student of middle eastern dance since 1978,
and began performing professionally in 1981. She was the artistic director
of the Caravan East dance troupe from 1981-1997, and has performed and taught dances of
North Africa and the Middle East
at the award-winning Fields DanceStudio since
1985. A two-time featured cover artist and current contributing author to Zaghareet! magazine, she
is also the producer of the No Frills series of instructional
videos. In 2004, her Andalusian-Moroccan Romany choreography was one of the entries selected to be
featured in the Old Dominion University Local Choreographer's Showcase, and in 2006, a
ghawazee duet choreographed by both Chelydra and Aegela was chosen for showcase presentation.
Chelydra presents authentic folk dances of the Middle East and North Africa along with modern folkloric
fusion adaptations, including a tap-dancing melaya leff, a hip-hop khaleegy, and a techno ghawazee.
She considers dancing to be serious fun.
Chelydra will present Whimsical Parasol. Introduce a little bit of flirtatious whimsy
into your dance with this lighthearted and unexpected prop - the classic parasol!
Most combinations also suitable for cane.

Dance Party
The stars are out at the beach, and the stars are YOU! The afternoon dance party is a
great time to try out your latest & greatest costume
and choreography. Have you always wanted to try something just a little bit different -
but never had the right setting? This is it! Be experimental! Be daring! Be playful!
Time limit is seven minutes (but remember, less is sometimes more).
You can sign up for a dance party slot ahead of time or join the list the day of the event.
A group or members of a group may dance more than once.
Contact chelydra.dtfa(at)chelydra(dot)com if you wish to pre-register for a dance party slot.
You must register for the event to qualify for a place in the dance party.
