Workshop Descriptions:
Drills Gone Wild: w/ Aubre
Drills to boogle your mind and body. Take your dancing to the next level, regardless of style, by learning strong hipwork and upper body technique. Layering options will be provided. Yoga mat suggested for floor stretches.
Saidi & Ghawazee w/ Aubre
Learn the essential moves to these Upper Egyptian folk dances, how they culturally relate to each other, including cane/assaya and sagat. Bring a cane with/without a hook and finger cymbals.
Beautiful Hands and Arms w/ Carrie Konyha
Lets take the guesswork out of arms and learn dance combinations that incorporate elegant hands, flowing arm patterns and nice ‘framing’ arm poses. Learn to guide the gaze of your audience with your hands and arms and how to integrate arm movements into your dancing to bring more of a sense of completeness to your dance.
Taqsim: The Art of Sensuous bellydance movement w/ Carrie Konyha
When the music slows down, do you know how to perform mesmerizing dances that will keep your audience entranced? The purpose of the Taqsim is to set an introspective, meditative mood & mystical atmosphere. This workshop Instructs dancers in sensuous, snaky torso & hip movements combined with dynamic pop & lock accents with instruction on interpreting & performing to various instrumental taqsims (oud, qanoun, accordian, violin). Includes techniques for sensuous, classy floor work.
Adventures in 9/8 w/ Hasani
Hasani will lead us in her Cabaret Stylings of 9/8
Flamenco Oriental w/ Maria Morca
Maria Morca has Danced and Performed Flamenco and Oriental Dance for Many years. She now combines her love of dance to share w/ BellyDancers how to add some Flamenco Flare to our BellyDance
Mother Earth Gypsy w/ Indigo
We will start off the Retreat w/ a Meditational Movement Designed to Relax you and help w/ Musical Interpretation. Following I will share w/ you many of my favorite Gypsy Movements. Please bring a skirt to dance with.
