WORKSHOPS

SHIMMY: Is your shimmy weak or missing? Can you shimmy, but have trouble adding smooth arms on top? Is your shimmy stuck in one place…so you have trouble making shapes or traveling with it? Ever wonder what the difference between an up/down shimmy, a twist shimmy, and a 3/4 shimmy is? Would you like to learn specific exercises designed to help you build the muscles necessary to make your shimmy strong and consistent?

During the first section of class we’ll focus on exercises that will train your shimmy” muscles, and then we’ll explore those muscles with simple, specific movement drills.

THE MANIACAL LAYERING: This is a high energy class, not designed for the faint of heart! Expect to sweat. Which muscles are used for hip locks, or chest pops? What about twisting the hips, or chest slides? Sharpen your isolations and learn to multitask by putting them on top of one another in this workshop. We will be working through the anatomy of each lock and isolation so that you’re aware of which muscles are used to fuel the movement. And if you don’t get it right away, don’t worry, we’ll do each move enough times so that the burning tells you what you’re working! What is layering? How in the world does one ever figure out how to do two of these things at once? Why are certain moves harder to layer than others? What moves are best to begin learning layering with? We’ll practice slow layers, fast layers, traveling layers and POLYRHYTHMIC layers (What!? Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon…)

This workshop is intended to be physically and intellectually challenging. Various levels of difficulty will be offered so that participants can practice at their own pace.

SNAKELIKE: Discover your inner serpent. The signature movements in belly dance mean fluidity in motion: undulations, circles, and figure eights. This workshop will help you learn how to sequence basic isolations so you can create movements that look boneless and effortless. You will practice drills that will help you build the strength and coordination needed to execute fluid body rolls, aweinspiring

belly rolls, succulent hip circles, fluid upper body shapes, and graceful arms. Rest assured, there is no magic potion to these techniques…you can master any of them through simple exercises and strengthening your muscles. All levels welcome (some belly dance experience strongly recommended). Different options will be offered for both beginning and advanced students. Please come

prepared a hip scarf, comfortable clothing and water!

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE: If we lived in strict black and white, the world would be a dull place to be. But we don’t, and it’s not. We live in a world with countless shades of all colors, and so we should dance as freely. We’ll take the basics you know and love, and put a spin on ‘em. Learn the joy and challenge of limitless possibility, and we explore variation upon variation of isolations, shapes, layers, steps, and combinations. Students are encouraged to open their mind and hearts, and dive deeply into this opportunity for infinite creativity.

WORKSHOPS

WAVING AND LIQUID MOVEMENT: We will learn how to wave, how to be soft and to decompose the waving motion. We will go from fluidity to staccato, studying the arms and body movement. We will research in different movement qualities, exploring density and speed.

FOOTWORK: Let’s go to the legs and feet. The bases of this workshop are Hip Hop, Popping, Tap Dance and House Dance Footwork, exploring the motion of the lower body. We will increase the vocabulary for layering and new possibilities for fusion dancers.

POP, LOCK AND ANIMATION: Let’s work with the techniques we.ve learnt and put them together. In the end we will create a subtle and gentle but powerful and expressive movement, developing a stronger and sensitive connection with the music.
