Savannah Pagan Pride welcomes TAC for our 2019 PPD event

TAC is a musical duo consisting of Tyler Neitz (Vocals, Guitar, Percussion) and Amanda Neitz (Bass, Percussion). From celtic to blues-rock, the duo pulls from their varied musical backgrounds and influences to craft a sound that bends genres and keeps audiences dancing and engaged.

In 2012, Tyler met Amanda at Pagan Spirit Gathering in southern Illinois. He was playing the festival with Tuatha Dea, and Amanda was working the merch booth for Arthur Hinds. Over the course of the festival, the two talked, had their first dates at concerts by the artists playing the festival that year, and fell in love. Over the next 4 years, Tyler played sporadically with Arthur Hinds and Tuatha Dea while Amanda, a classically trained bassist, honed her skills as well. In 2017, they began playing together with Arthur Hinds as the Round Table and have released 2 albums as a band, 2018’s “In Her Name” and the newly-released “Tales from the Turning Leaf”.

2019 marks a new chapter in their songbook, as Tyler and Amanda expand upon their experience and begin to take their duo on the road to continue to make music and spread joy, laughter and the occasional happy tear to audiences across the country.

WORKSHOPS FOR 2019

Beginner Belly Dance – 11 – 11:30 am and 4 – 4:30

Samirah’s Beginner Belly dance Class will be an introduction to American Cabaret Style Belly dance.

“Belly Dance is organic and can be an effective form of exercise and stress relief, not to mention a great self-esteem booster… if done correctly.”

By the end of this class, you will be equipped with the proper posture and basic moves of Raqs Sharqi. You will also learn a short choreography and be ready to shimmy and zaghareet at a moment’s notice! Yalla! (Let’s go!)

History of Belly dance:

The actual origin of belly dance is unknown as it is one of the oldest forms of dance with deep origins. The most popular theory of belly dance’s origin is that it is from Egypt with influences from other Middle Eastern countries. It is said that the dance started as a religious dance or possibly as a birthing practice to ease childbirth. It later came to America in 1893 with Chicago’s World Fair. Today, belly dance is taught in almost every country throughout the world. It offers an instant community of friends and performers. Although dominated by women, the dance is also performed by men (most commonly in Egypt), although European influence later promoted female dancers over male.

What to Bring:

You need to wear something that you can easily move in; yoga or work out pants, sports bra, fitted tank top, or fitted t-shirt are best. We will be using bare feet. Please bring a scarf to tie around your waist, or coin scarf if you have one. I will have some to borrow/purchase for class.



Samirah I’sad is a seasoned bellydancer originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her first introduction to bellydancing came from the Texas and Louisiana Renaissance Festivals where she fell in love with the talent and earthy-feminine beauty that Tribal Bellydancers exude. She began probing her interests by studying Raqs Sharqi oriental dance and Zills performance under Shamsi, owner and director of BayouShimmy bellydance in March of 2005.

Samirah moved to Savannah, Georgia in the quake of Hurricane Katrina’s destruction during the fall of 2005 where she met Scarlett of ScarlettRhythms back in 2006. Samirah studied American Cabaret style bellydance and Fan Veil performance under Scarlett. Through her she also met and studied drum solo performance with Razi, Atlanta belly dancer & henna artist. Mei’attah Raqs Bellydance Troupe was formed by the three in 2007.

Samirah began performing at Casbah Morrocan Restaurant in Savannah from 2009-2011. There she met many local bellydancers and started learning Sha’abi (Egyptian dancing), Sa’idi and Raqs al Assaya (Bellydance with cane), and Turkish styles of bellydance. Samirah also became close friends with Cybelle of Eclipse World Fusion Bellydance and under Cybelle’s tutorage, expanded her repertoire to include Scimitar dancing and tribal fusion styles of bellydance.

Samirah has performed at different venues ranging from festivals (her favorite) and parties to collaborative performance and restaurant dancing. She has performed at the Sentient Bean, Tantra Lounge, the Wormhole, Riverview Health & Rehab Center and Casbah Morrocan Restaurant here in Savannah. She has also performed in Tybee Island Pirate’s Fest & Mardi Gras parades, at the occasional party for the Red Hats Society or Alee Shriners Women’s Group, and even the occasional club night around town.

Since then, she’s read a few books on the subject, taken a few classes here and there and attended some workshops along the way.

You’re holding the bag! – 5 – 5:30pm

What ya got in the bag? Bubble gum?

Let’s talk about charm bags and what all goes in them; what they can be used for, and more! Be it long term use or one time, charm bags can pack a powerful Punch, or a subtle trick.

While Stevie Kirby may be all about making some kick ass mojo bags, in my experience his bags are more likely to contain Bakers Pride donuts or Kennedys fried chicken.
