Bellydance

Beginning Bellydance The ageless mystique of bellydance flows from a graceful partnership between music and physique. A dancer’s range of expression is powerful and integrates movement throughout body, mind & spirit. This course in classic bellydance works with the basics of supporting, stretching and strengthening the body. As we learn technique, we’ll explore how these basics integrate a relationship between the music and our own personal expression. All of this play and learning springs from balanced posture and movement, and the rhythms of the Middle East will enhance our study. We will focus on basic isolations, including slides, lifts and making hypnotic circles with chest and hips. Add in the fluid grace of snake arms, the simmering heat of shimmies, and we’ll be on our way, dancing the Silk Road together.

Flamenco

Intermediate Flamenco Technique

This class introduces you to the basics of flamenco dance, including its rhythm, footwork, and movements. Flamenco is a dance for all ages and abilities because it focuses on individual expression and enjoyment. While learning about the history and culture of the art form, you will see yourself grow stronger and more confident. Arm technique yields better posture and upper body flexibility from the isolations involved and learning footwork improves balance, coordination, and leg strength. * Strong-soled shoe with thick high heel required (such as a dress boot, character shoe, or flamenco shoe) Prerequisite: Approval by the instructor

Flamenco Roots/Expression

This class goes back to the origins of flamenco dance in order to extract the vital elements for enjoyment: understanding the music and self-expression. Flamenco, stripped of its modern showmanship, is earthy, sensual, and empowering. We will focus on a common, festive rhythm and its structure. Dancing in this class will be done barefoot and you will learn different types of steps and improvise using those steps. Prerequisite: None
