Anwaar

Gothic Belly Dance

Gothic Belly Dance merges the styling of the Gothic or "Goth" subculture from the last 20 years with the beautiful expression of Middle Eastern Dance in both cabaret and tribal formats. In this Gothic Fusion workshop we will learn a piece of a Beats Antique masterpiece, “Miss Levine”, a study in moving with emotion and control.

Hadil

Modern Egyptian Workshop

This choreography mixes innovative movement with classic belly dance technique.  The result is an unexpected mix of sultry smoothness and raw, sexy energy, guaranteed to wake up an audience! Today’s modern Egyptian belly dance incorporates orchestra, tabla, and  lively vocals. If time permits during this workshop, extra technique, drills and combinations may be taught. This choreography is well suited to beginners, but offers some unique combinations and movements that will be valuable additions to the more advanced dancer’s repertoire.

Perfect for all level dancers, especially those who need fundamentals de-mystified!

What to bring: At least 2 veils, preferably 3 yards in length

Lamia

Drum solo workshop

Let tempo and rhythmic patterns be your guide as we pair simple moves with the compelling beat of the drum! This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of drum solos, layered shimmies, locks, pops, and twists. Lamia will incorporate upbeat combinations to create a show stopping drum solo choreography.

Nahar

Balkan Fusion

Balkan fusion blends bold eastern European inspired moves with a Gypsy attitude and the precision and feminine hip work of bellydance! In this workshop we will learn the fundamentals of Balkan fusion with lots of undulations, transitions and fluid movements.

Liyana

Choreography 101: The fundamentals of building a choreography!

Creating a bellydance choreography comes more natural to some dancers than others, but all dancers can have great results with a method to guide the way. In this workshop we will explore how to select and break down your music, and build a show stopping choreography using a structured approach that still leaves plenty of room for individual creativity. Perfect for dancers who have not yet tried their hand at choreography, or for experienced dancers looking to enhance their process.\

Zumba

The Zumba fitness program fuses Latin and International flavors from merengue, salsa, cumbia, reggaeton, belly dance, samba and many more! The result of this fusion is a fun workout that feels more like a night out dancing than a "work" out.

This 1 hour workshop will incorporate easy to follow dance moves to the latest Latin and International music creating a fun cardio workout!

Yoga

Yoga is many things to many people. It is fitness, it is health, it is relaxation, it is transformation, it is the opening of new possibilities, it is community. Workshop will be led by a certified yoga instructor. More info coming soon.
