Zafira Weekend! July 12 & 13

topic posted Mon, March 17, 2008 - 4:44 PM by  Talis
Hello to all,

For my first ever post to this Tribe, I have the very cool honor of letting folks know that they need to SAVE THE DATE! I'm helping to organize a weekend intensive with the fabulous Zafira on July 12 & 13 at Avalon Studios in Catonsville (current home of Jessica/Bastet's tribal classes). Four hours of classes each day. More details coming soon.

If you don't know about Zafira, here is a link to just a bit of their amazing dancing on Youtube:

    Sunday, July 13 12:00-5:00

    WORKSHOPS WILL INCLUDE:

    PUTTING THE BELLY IN BELLYDANCE
    This workshop is great for the new and experienced bellydancer alike. We will drill
    torso locks and layers with the focus on strengthening the abdominal region in
    preparation for bellywork. Plan to put together your own pop- n-lock combina-
    tion that you can take home to practice!

    LIQUID LAYERS
    Bring the belly back in belly dance. Build combinations of liquid layers and torso
    work that roll and ripple through your belly, back, hips and shoulders. Then, add
    arms and footwork to frame and enhance some of your most elegant moves.

    SUPER SLINKY
    : SMOOTH MOVES AND COMBINATIONS
    Smooth, fluid movement comes from strong technique and a clear understanding
    of body mechanics in order to blend moves seamlessly. This workshop focuses on
    the technique and style of fluid movements. Learn some of Zafira's favorite slinky
    isolations and combinations that can be assembled into a short choreography.

    PARTNER & SMALL GROUP DYNAMICS
    (DANCELAB)
    Break out of the box! Explore the possibilities of free movement in tandem with
    others in this interactive workshop. The first segment of this master workshop
    focuses on technique and form in several partner-based combinations. Then, exper-
    iment with form, shape, style and musical interpretation with small group improvi-
    sation. Then turn these raw gems into polished short choreographies.

    Early registration $130, after June 12 $140
    Enrollment is limited to 30.

    All classes will be held in the large studio at Avalon
