ISOLATION SEQUENCES

11:00am - 1:00pm

The goals of this class are to learn what an isolation really is, learn what types of isolations there are, practice the isolations and create effective sequences for drilling and practice.

After a short lecture and discussion session, we will practice and drill a variety of isolations to get us warmed up.  Then we will learn how to effectively create sequences for drilling which can then be used in performance.

We will learn how to create challenging and unique sequences by varying speed, regions, direction, shapes and much more.  I will present a few sample sequences and then you, the students, will create your own and share with the class.

IMPROVING YOUR IMPROVISATIONAL SKILLS

3:30pm - 5:30pm

This class is excellent for the improvisational dancer who wants to improve his/her impovisational skills or for the choreography dancer who wants to cross over and try out some improvisation.

This class will be all about improvisation in regards to dancing and acting.  Yes, I said acting!  As dancers, when we perform, we are in a way acting too.  We will be playing and doing a variety of improvisational games and exercises in this class.  Please be prepared to step outside of your comfort zone and let loose.

This is a super fun class and at the same time it will boost your confidence, help you gain your own trust as a dancer and allow you to be vulnerable in a safe and controlled environment.

OLD SCHOOL EGYPTIAN FOR NEW SCHOOL TRIBAL

1:15pm - 3:15pm

In this workshop, we will explore some of the Folkloric and Cabaret roots of Egyptian-style bellydance to solidify the foundation of Modern Tribal.

We will cover muscular as well as skeletal isolations and delve deeply into musicality and the ethics of fusion to create an authentic performance with a modern aesthetic that pays respect to the ancient cultures and traditions, but still appeals to a modern audience.
