SUMMARY:Belly Dance Cane Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will focus on dancing with a cane\, also known as raqs al Assaya. This type of dance is considered a folkloric style and was derived from the men’s tahtib\, a martial arts dance that uses long canes. Don’t worry. We won’t be doing martial arts! Raqs al Assaya is flirty and its movements are more grounded. \nWe will work on combos with the cane\, twirling techniques\, and movements that are unique to this style. This workshop is open to all levels but some previous dance experience may be helpful. \nThere will be a 10 minute break during this workshop. There are water fountains available just outside the dance studio. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move around freely. This class will be taught barefoot but feel free to wear dance shoes or socks with grips. \nThe cost for the workshop is $40 which can be paid the day of with cash\, Venmo\, or Cash App.

SUMMARY:Gods of the Smoke Machine book launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, December 4 at 6:00pm Cha House for a conversation between author Scott Latta and John Archibald about Latta’s new book “Gods of the Smoke Machine: Power\, Pain\, and the Rise of Christian Nationalism in the Megachurch.” A question and answer session will follow. \nAbout the book: “We are entering a new era of religion in America: For the first time\, fewer than half the country belongs to a church. But within that group\, growing numbers are consolidating in megachurches\, which are amassing social and political power in our age of convenience and easy celebrity. \nGODS OF THE SMOKE MACHINE goes inside America’s largest churches to unpack the impacts of megachurch culture and hear stories from those who have been hurt by their growing influence and power. Combining personal storytelling and original reporting\, GODS OF THE SMOKE MACHINE pulls back the curtain on an insular institution of more than seventeen hundred churches nationwide that is answerable to almost no outside accountability.” \nBooks will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Hope to see y’all there!

SUMMARY:Birmingham Zydeco Cajun Club presents: Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble
DESCRIPTION:October 17\, 2025\nDoors 7pm ​ • Show 8pm – 11pm \nAfter leaving the audience at the 2025 Birmingham Folk Festival wanting more\, Curley Taylor and his band\, Zydeco Trouble\, will return to Birmingham on Friday\, October 17th\, and take the stage at the Woodlawn Theatre at 8pm! \nCurley Taylor and the band hail from the heart of Creole country in Louisiana. Curley’s soulful\, bluesy vocals and the band’s hard driving zydeco beat blend to create their unique style of zydeco and blues that keeps audiences dancing. It’s always a party when Zydeco Trouble comes to town. \nLouisiana native Curley Taylor has been around music all his life. Born into a musical family\, drums were Curley’s first instrument when he began his professional career at age 16 by playing drums in his father’s band\, Jude Taylor and the Burning Flames\, a band deep in Louisiana Blues\, Soul and Zydeco. At a young age\, Curley had played drums with some of Louisiana’s musical legends\, including: CC Adcock\, Steve Riley\, John Hart\, “L’il” Bob and the Lollipops\, and his uncles\, “L’il” Buck Senegal and Wayne “Blue” Burns. He toured with CJ Chenier\, son of Clifton Chenier (aka the “King of Zydeco”)\, who is a Zydeco legend in his own right. While traveling with CJ Chenier’s band\, Curley became interested in playing the accordion\, learned to play\, and formed Curley Taylor & Zydeco Trouble in 2003. \nThe band tours extensively throughout the US\, playing festivals and clubs from New York to San Diego and from Florida to Seattle. Recently\, Curley played accordion to accompany Jon Cleary on the song “I’m on the Wonder” on the album\, “A Tribute to the King of Zydeco\,” to honor the legacy of Clifton Chenier\, and Curley played rubboard on the song from the same album performed by the Rolling Stones\, “Zydeco Sont Pas Salés\,” released as a single on June 25\, 2025\, which would have been Clifton Chenier’s 100th birthday. \nMore Information:\nwww.CurleyTaylor.com\nhttps://birminghamzydeco.com/events

SUMMARY:Lurks Behind Vol. 2
DESCRIPTION:“Lurks Behind Vol. 2” is the second installment in a powerful three-part dance series by Southern DanceWorks that transforms community stories into dynamic performance art. Set in Birmingham’s historic neighborhoods\, this year’s production centers on two of the ninety-nine communities rich with resilience\, pride\, and untold narratives. Through dance\, spoken word\, and multimedia design\, the event creates a living archive of neighborhood experiences\, shaped directly by residents through Heart Workshops: Talking and Moving. These intimate sessions allow community members to share personal reflections on pressing issues such as food insecurity\, housing\, and local identity\, which then become the emotional and choreographic foundation of the performance. \nDirected by internationally acclaimed choreographer Germaul Barnes and created in collaboration with a diverse team of Birmingham-based artists\, “Lurks Behind Vol. 2” redefines how the arts engage with social justice and civic dialogue. The performance blurs the line between audience and performer\, inviting the public not just to witness\, but to reflect on what lies beneath the surface of everyday places and people. By centering local voices and stories\, Southern DanceWorks brings movement to memory and meaning—offering a vision of the arts as both mirror and catalyst for community transformation.
