GoLive! Is an incredible event! Having several ensembles of the BEST Arab Musicians in one place over the course of a weekend is a life-changing experience for a dancer who is ready to take it all in.


Here’s a fact:

Dancers who have worked with the concepts in the Project Band program get more out of the GoLive experience.

 Think about it!  You will  have the chance to study with a group of dancers who are all focused on exploring how the experience of working with live music can enhance their dance - and with a firm goal of October 4-6 in mind. That’s what Project Banders are!!

Stepping off of the stage and feeling a sense of having had a deep connection to the music with moments of magic will just naturally happen when you
• train appropriately,
• frame the experience correctly, and
• have opportunities to test what you are absorbing - by working with live music - along the way.
 
Project Band REMOTE participants get:
  • 1 weekly Drills class and Project Band exercise via zoom in real time (and access to the recordings!). There are currently 3 Project Band Drills Classes on the schedule.
  • 1 weekly Beginner class to deeply refine technique.  There are currently 6 Beginner classes on the schedule.
  • 1 monthly opportunity to join us at our Tuesday Dakota Dance Lab to live music.  (That's Tuesdays at 8:00 CST.)
  • 1 monthly video feedback communication from Karen Barbee.
  • The option of purchasing a face-to-face private lesson with Karen if that is preferred,
  • Discounts on workshops with guest instructors, AND
  • Participation in our upcoming Virtual Performahearsals! (Those are rehearsals that feel like a performance, btw).   And THIS PART IS HUGE!

We have two such Virtual Performahearsal events coming up where you will have the chance to dance TO UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL, IN-THE-MOMENT-CREATED-JUST-FOR-YOU, Arabic music!  THIS is where you can test what you are absorbing before you step onto the GoLive! stage.

  • Sunday, April 7 at 4:00 pm CST with music by the Georges Lammam Ensemble playing for us from San Francisco, CA.
  • Sunday, July 7 at 4:00 pm CST with the music of Maestro Michael Ibrahim (and whoever he chooses to include!) playing for us from Detroit, MI.

Get Ready!
Get Set!
THEN GoLive!
