Tight Locks & Luscious Layers: 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 will burn serious calories and challenge the brain. Various levels of difficulty will be offered so that participants can practice at their own pace. Some belly dance experience strongly encouraged.
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, awe-inspiring 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!
