The Next Level: Getting Deeper With Your Slow Movement

This workshop starts by breaking down "traditional" belly dance movement, teaching body and muscle awareness, and moves on to more advanced stylization, giving the student a true understanding of executing tribal fusion movement, and bringing more substance to their dance.
Some topics: Breaking Down The Roll - Frustrated with your rolls? Don't seem to ever get better? Step by step this class will train your body to correctly execute a fluid and completely muscular roll. Arms and Hands - Getting more flexibility, fluidity and strength, making your arm work look effortless and smooth.
Pops, Hits And The Art Of Isolating - We will be drilling those elusive concepts to take pops and locks to the next level by mixing the liquid smoothness of a snake with hits and stops that look almost inhuman.
This workshop will also focus on ways to dance with passionate expression while maintaining control and grace.
