"Sometimes it is best to say something new with an old technique, because ninety-nine people out of a hundred see only technique. Glackens had the courage to use Renoir's version of the Rubens-Titian technique and he found something new to say with it. Cezanne may have tried to paint like El Greco, but he couldn't help making Cezannes. He never had to worry about whether he was being original. Don't be afraid to borrow. The great men, the most original, borrowed from everybody. Witness Shakespeare and Rembrandt. They borrowed from the technique of tradition and created new images by the power of their imagination and human understanding. Little men just borrow from one person. Assimilate all you can from tradition and then say things in your own way. There are as many ways of drawing as there are ways of thinking and thoughts to think."
~John Sloan in Gist of Art, 1939
par·a·digm (par'?-dim', -dim') n.
1. A set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for the community that shares them, especially in an intellectual discipline.
The Eastern contingent of The Paradigm bring a unique flair to bellydance in their own unique approach. Ranging from Cabaribalusion, Rom, Dark Cabaret, Tribal fusion, Egyptian and more in between!
We are firm believers in teaching a clean and strong technique that lays a foundation for all bellydance styles. Learning the language of belly dance takes time, dedication and patience. Musical expression is also impressed as we love for those who dance with us to "feel" the music. It makes for a remarkable journey.
