Hi Ladies,
Thank you for a great final class of the 5-week series. Here is a recap:
1. Quick warm up
2. Review the movements covered throughout the 5-weeks and also exploring other variations of these movements.
3. Review the choreography to "Cybele".
4. Dance the choreography.
5. Dance the choreography collectively facing inward towards the group.
6. Explore different ways of changing the choreography to your liking. Start with replacing just one movement.
7. Dance the choreography with a partner. Travel towards each other in the Basic Egyptian section so that you change places. Other directional changes are optional.
9. Cool down.
My goal in this class was to shine some light into the tribal fusion dance and its possibilities. There are lots of elements that "make" a dance, the movements themselves, the direction in which you execute the movement, partner or group work, they all contribute to the dynamic of the dance.
I am off to New Zealand on Tuesday and will be teaching several workshops there at the New Zealand Middle Eastern Dance Annual Belly dance festival. If I get Internet connectivity there, I'll post a few pictures on the blog here. So, check back next week for new posts.
Also, I wanted to remind you about the next series which will be 8-weeks starting May. Check the website: http://www.lilybellydance.com for registration details. There are 4 registrations already, so get yours in quick! Even though I will cap the class, I will always welcome my existing students back.
Lastly, there is a big benefit on April 30, called "On Your Feet! an International Music and Dance Festival". I will be performing with Sabaya Bellydance Collective. Purchase your tickets in advance! Website: http://www.onyourfeetworld.org
Happy Easter!
Lily
