"All About Technique"
March 1 - Samira of Norfolk, VA |
| Drum Solos Skills for Every Level - With an emphasis on dynamics and performance, Samira's technique will give dancers of all levels the tools, tips and tricks to bring out their inner drum diva, creating an exciting dance performance. You will learn a lively drum solo choreography incorporating basic steps and combinations that work for a variety of drum music. We will then explore ways to bring your personal creativity and signature style to the dance, making it your own. Samira wowed all those present with her drum solo at our November show. Her passion for Bellydance has taken Samira across the country and beyond, pursuing instruction form Cairo to California, earning recognition at solo and troupe competitions, and an audition for the Bellydance Superstars. |
May 3 - Ziba of Stanardville, VA |
| Veil & Arm Movements - Ziba will share her knowledge of veil movements and arm positions, explaining and demonstrating the technique required to make your veil behave beautifully. She will show you how to use hand positions and arm patterns to get your veil to do what you want it to do, and combinations that you can incorporate into your dance. Not only can you frame yourself with arm movements, you can also tell stories with hands and arms. The veil also speaks to us and we will explore its mysterious dimensions. Ziba is a teacher, performer, author, and film producer. She is currently working on a book about her 30 years in Bellydance. Ziba is always a crowd pleaser and is known for her "vintage oriental" style. |
June 7 - Katayoun of Sterling, VA |
| Mastery of Technique - "Technique, bodily control must be mastered only because the body must not hinder the soul's expressions". This is the philosophy that inspired Katayoun's signature technique and style. Derived from the classical forms of Egyptian and Persian dance, the concepts and techniques are captured in detailed drills designed for Mastery of Technique - Precision, Fluidity, Musical Phrasing and Interpretation, as well as foundations for choreography and dynamic improvisation. The content of this workshop is adaptable for beginners to advanced dancer. Katayoun is of Persian descent and specializes in Egyptian and Persian dance forms, teaching and performing two apparently different forms that share some of the same important concepts and principles that can be used by any dancer to polish technique and develop style. Her performances are admired as highly sophisticated in fluidity, precisions, musicality, and cultural expressions. |
