Coweta Arts Tidbits The Successor To Newnan-Coweta Arts Council News Releases Composed By: Forrest W. Schultz 770-583-3258 schultz_forrest@yahoo.com   August 21, 2009   American Tribal Style Belly Dancer Hollie Schmidt At Grantville Day        Hollie Schmidt, who used to live in Grantville and now lives in Newnan, is upset about the erotic connotations which the term "belly dance" has for the American public, due mainly to the influence of Hollywood.  She claims that the term actually refers to a form of folk dancing and therefore should not be regarded as porn.  Schmidt's own "Gypsy Theatre" belly dance troupe is mentored by the American Tribal Style Belly Dance discussed in the article on the subject found at the website www.fcbd.com.  Info on Schmidt herself, including the belly dance classes she teaches at the Newnan Theatre, is found at http://people.tribe.net/3f763aa4-3ad4-4fe6-8b86-e058a3a3bd09.        So, what is the real nature of American Tribal Style Belly Dance?  There will be an opportunity to find out at this year's Grantville Day community festival.  Hollie Schmidt will be performing this type of belly dance along with three other dancers from 2:00 PM until 2:20 PM on Grantville Day Saturday September 26 on Main Street in Grantville.         Grantville Day, which for the past several years lasted for two days --  Saturday and Sunday, this year has reverted to the original concept of a one-day festival held only on Saturday.  The other events planned will be announced soon.  Grantville is located at Exit 35 on Interstate 85.         Information on Grantville Day is available on their website www.grantvilledays.com  or by contacting the Grantville Day Chairman Sandra Luttrell at  770-583-9013 or by Email at  sangalasands@aol.com.         http://people.tribe.net/3f763aa4-3ad4-4fe6-8b86-e058a3a3bd09   http://www.fcbd.com/       Beginning Belly Dance Classes Monday Nights Newnan Community Theatre Newnan,  Ga 30263 Phone: (770) 301-3147 Hours: Registration begins @ 2:30pm Belly dance classes on-going every Monday Night from 7-8pm.
