Streetdance Battle @ Earthfest 2012



Millions all over the world have felt the devastating effects of the earth’s degradation – increased occurrences of flash floods, super typhoons, severe drought, tornado outbreaks, and more. The earth is no longer the safe, beautiful, and nurturing home that it used to be because man simply kept on taking but failed to give back to Mother Nature.

Sonshine Philippines Movement (SPM) together with concerned institutions, companies, organizations, and communities, is launching the “EarthFest 2012 and The Environmental Hero Awards” on November 18, 2012 at Filinvest Corporate City, Alabang. This grand sports event with the theme “Sports War Against Climate Change” aims to raise funds for SPM’s environmental programs and advocacies nationwide.

SPM is a multi-awarded non-profit organization who continues to advocate positive change by empowering the youth and different community sectors to care for the environment. We actively implement nationwide clean-up drives, tree planting activities, recycling campaigns, marine resources development, environmental awareness and similar programs.

In this light, we cordially invite your company/club/organization to be a part of this noble cause by participating in the “EarthFest 2012” sports events as follows:

• Fun Run (3 km, 5 km, 10 km, 16 km, and 21 km)
• Bicycle Wars (Criterium, BMX Park, and MTB)
• Street Dance Battle (Hip-Hop, 18-25 yrs old)
• Concert for a Cause
• Grand Sports and Health Bazaar

Prizes await the winners! Plus gadgets and souvenir items will be given away! Awards will also be given to the largest delegations.

Now is the perfect time to heed Mother Nature’s call! Be an environmental hero! Support Sonshine Philippines Movement and help us work towards the restoration of the earth by participating in the “EarthFest 2012 and The Environmental Hero Awards”.

Master Workshops with Tamlyn Dallal

Once again, That's D Pointe Dance Shop brings you a weekend of world-class belly dance workshops, this time with the legendary Tamalyn Dallal. Only a few have earned the title of a master teacher and Tamalyn is among the elite few.

The 3-day workshop which totals 13 hours will be held on November 16-18. Below is a brief description of the workshop offerings.

Tamalyn Dallal's Technique (3 hours)
Tamalyn has taught great dancers such as Amar Gamal and Bozenka. She believes that strong basics are the key to becoming a skilled dancer. Tamalyn will share important secrets of the dance and how to get more out of your movements, polish them and make them more beautiful and clean. Whether your focus is on Tribal or Cabaret, whether you are a beginner or a professional, Tamalyn's technique workshop is a must for every dancer.

Shimmy Spectacular (2 hours)
Tamalyn has been around the world with her dance. She has learned the shimmies of many lands- from Egypt's Siwa Oasis to the depths of Africa. Learn timing, control, and many ways to shimmy (and relax while you do it).

Drum Solo Choreography (3 hours)
Learn rhythms, how drum solos are structured, and do a choreography that utilizes techniques learned in the shimmy workshop. Learn ways to avoid injury while making the most of the music.

The Joy of Finger Cymbals (2 hours)
Don't be afraid of them. Tamalyn says "I had so much difficulty playing finger cymbals at first. That is why I found ways to learn and do drills that makes it easier to practice, walk and play, and dance with them." Zils (Zagat) can be fun! Don't let finger cymbal playing become a lost art! Learn to play them and enhance your dance.

Oriental Choreography (3 hours)
Classic and cultural, while you learn a beautiful choreography, you will learn to recognize the instruments and learn the history of the song you are dancing to, giving it more depth and interest.

We are so excited about sharing this event with you and strongly encourage you to take full advantage of this great opportunity to learn from a true master teacher.
