Review
of The Dance, Volume II, by
Ted Monnich of TURKU
"I
have to say I am very impressed with the video. So much so that we've already
mentioned it on Turku's website. The production is one of the most professional
we've seen... and we've seen ALOT! We are also involved quite a bit with music
and video production and can sort the good from the bad... and Carrie has definitely
done GOOD. Turku's music is used throughout the video, as it is suited to both
cabaret and tribal styles; both of which Ms. Konyha demonstrates admirably in
her sweet, smooth style. It's 87 minutes loaded with great intermediate moves,
combinations, and practical information. This is an excellent course for intermediate
dancers, though, we believe dancers of any level would benefit from it. She really
packs alot of information into this production" |
Meet
Carrie Konyha - Performer, Instructor, Choreographer Carrie
founded "American Gypsy dance productions" in 1998 when she began teaching after
13 years of professional dance experience as a soloist performer. Her formal dance
training includes many years of middle-eastern dance including the Egyptian, Turkish
, Lebanese and Gypsy styles. Carrie is also trained in the Indian classical dance,
Bharata Natyam and has some training in ballet and modern dance. Carrie Continues
to study with Master Level Teachers regularly.
Carrie began her dance
career as a chorus line/cabaret dancer in 1986 and maintained a full time career
as a professional dancer performing in nightclubs while she pursued her spiritual
studies until 1992 . For the past 9 years, Carrie has been extensively researching
the Spiritual aspects of movement and dance as she continues to perform and teach
middle eastern belly dance. She incorporates her knowledge of the holistic aspects
of the dance into her teachings. Carrie is an advocate of working with dance as
a supplemental system of self healing; using dance, rhythm, music, breath-work
and visualization to heal the mind, body and soul. Carrie is also a certified
MEDICAL YOGA instructor. "My
love for middle-eastern dance stems from the fact that it has been used by women
of all shapes and sizes as a medium for prayer, meditation, holistic healing,
personal empowerment and the celebration of life for many thousands of years.
Did you know that belly dance is the worlds oldest surviving dance art? To me,
this endurance validates the magical qualities of the dance and tells of our eternal
desire to connect with our sacred selves". ~ Keep Dancing !
