Saturday
11:30-12:30 Cabaret Choreographies and Combinations

Belly dance technique depends on fine muscle control of the torso, arms and hips, and on interpretation of the intricate music. The dance is an expression of feeling: joy, love, sorrow, and all the complex emotions of life. We will explore American, Egyptian and Turkish Oriental styles in this class.  This is the traditional glitz and glamour style most people imagine when speaking of bellydance.  Each week we will learn a series of movements in this style to build up your dance vocabulary.  At the end of the month, you will know a complete set of belly dance moves for an entire song.

12:35-13:35 Drills and Conditioning Belly Dance

This class will focus on developing proper technique, precision, endurance, strength and fluidity.  

13:40-14:40 Cabaret choreographies and combinations

Tuesday

Tribal Fusion Belly Dance is a form of modern belly dance generally referring to a combination of American Tribal Style Belly Dance and Cabaret or Egyptian style belly dance. It fuses elements of Popping, Hip Hop, and Modern dance.  It often draws from many traditional forms such as Flamenco and Bhangra as well as various folkloric dance styles. Each week in this class we will learn a series of movements in this style to build your dance vocabulary up.  At the end of the month, you will know a complete set of belly dance moves for an entire song.

Recommendations for your first class:

Wear something you can move freely such as yoga pants and a tank top.  Eshe can correct your form better if she can see it, if you feel comfortable wearing something a bit form fitting please do so.
Arrive on time so you don't miss the warm up or essential parts of the lesson such as posture review.  

Try to come at the beginning of the month when we are working on the newest parts of the choreographies.  Be kind to yourself.  We're all on the learning curve-we're just at different points.

Peace,
Eshe
