As you can see the program is roughly the same for both BOOTCAMPS, the only
thing different will be the guest teacher (Constanze or Amirah) and the dates ;)
But BOTH will be equally fun :)
Every morning we will have a (optional, but FUN, promise :))
shred workout session, followed by a long cool down and stretch. After that our guest teachers will teach their respective workshops. The
afternoons will be filled with daily bellydance classes with
Queenie and
Khalida, and there will be a hafla/studio party on Saturday evening. On
Thursday morning (starting around 10:00 am) we will have a short introduction
round and welcome at the studio.
Accomodation
There are many small
Hotels and B&Bs near the venue, but the cheapest options
tend to sell out fast, so don't wait too long to book! Around the time of
BOOTCAMP I (5-8 July 2012) it might be easier to find accomodation in Eschweiler
and other regions around Würselen, but for BOOTCAMP II (19-22 July 2012)
there are more options in Aachen available as well. Check out our special
BOOTCAMP Facebook page for tips and possible roomshare/carpool options.
Number of participants per BOOTCAMP
Classes will be limited to 16-17 persons maximum, so if you'd like to join be
sure to enroll soon at our
Enrollment page.
.
At the moment there is a waiting list for BOOTCAMP I and about 6 spots left
for BOOTCAMP II.
Start of BOOTCAMP
Even though all of the morning workouts are optional, we would like to welcome
ALL of you on the first day of your respective BOOTCAMP in the studio at 10.00h.
Please count about 10 minutes for parking, as you can park for free in the
streets around the venue but you might have to walk a bit. At 10.15h SHARP the
official welcome speech begins, and we are looking forward to seeing all of you
there :)
Practical and Payments
We will start sending out the first invoices in the coming days to those who
have opted for the payment plan. Those who are paying the whole fee in one go
will receive their invoice in May (so you can plan ahead a bit!)
Hafla/BC Party
Officer Q will be sending a separate email about the hafla shortly. If you'd
like to perform (still spots available!) a short dance just let us know by email
to
hafla@belly-dance.be The hafla will
be held in the studio itself, so a warm/friendly low-key atmosphere. There will
also be bopping/party time in between so bring your dance gear/hip
scarf/galabeya or camouflage suit in any case :)
We are THINKING (confirmation pending!) of adding in a mini-prize for 'Best BC
Outfit' so you can go as crazy (or as 'normal'!) as you want to :)
Food and Drinks
Please remember that there is NO cafeteria or vending machine on-site in the
BOOTCAMP venue, but you are allowed to bring your own lunch, snacks and drinks
during the day. We'd recommend to have a hearty breakfast before you come to the
classes, especially if are joining the (optional! but fun!) daily morning
workout sessions :)
There is a gas station (ARAL) and a supermarket (Aldi) with fresh bread (!) at
the end of Oppener Strasse (street of the venue), so in emergency you can always
get extra supplies there.
On Saturday we will provide sandwiches and some veggies/fruit before the hafla
for you and bottles of water backstage, so you can stay on-site until the
evening if you want to.
What to bring?
- snacks, drinks and food for during the day
- a yoga/pilates mat and/or towel
- something to write/take notes
- a photocamera
- sufficient workout clothes (it can get hot!)
- for BCI: ballet slippers (only needed on Th, Fr, Sa)
- underwear etc.. :)
- something to wear at the hafla (and/or plus costume and your CD if you want to
dance!)
- makeup
- water
- your best army face ;)
What is shred?
Jillian Michaels' '30-day shred' is a short (only 20 minutes!) but intense (but
fun!) workout session, with different levels (we will start at level 1) that can
be done with or without weights. Check out the information here:
http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY
If you don't have any weights we have a few sets to spare, but using small water
bottles works just as well.
You will need a yoga mat as well, as part of the workout is done lying down on
the floor.
Alright, that is it for now :)
More news and updates will follow later, at the moment there are only 6 spots
left for BCII, so if you have any friends/colleagues that might be interested
let them know and/or feel free to forward the information or even this email to
them!
