~Friday Workshops~
Mira Betz: Isolations and Layering Fri. 4:00pm to 6:00pm

A slow build to complicated layering.

Asharah: Pops, Locks, and Tick Tocks
Fri. 6:30pm to 8:30 pm
Inspired by robots, experimental electronic music, and the poppin' and lockin' B-Boys of the 70s and 80s, Asharah has integrated mechanical movements into her expressive tribal fusion performances. In this workshop, Asharah will lead students through an intense warm up and then will show students how to break down traditional bellydance movements such as vertical hip figure-8s, shoulder rolls, torso undulations, turns, and arm waves into smaller and sharper parts to give your performances a robotic and creepy edge. After drilling these movements, she'll teach a short combination that demonstrates how these movements can be used in a performance.
She'll also briefly discuss concepts of electronic music, how it is created, and how to listen to the nuances of music made by machines and computers.
~Saturday Workshops~
Rachel: Kick boxing Warm Up Sat. 9:00am to 9:45am

Elizabeth Strong: Turkish Rom Fusion
Sat. 10:00am to 12:00pm
The more you know, the more confidently you will express your unique Voice. Expand your dance vocabulary, and explore the energizing 9/8 rhythm! Learn the dance in its true form, and then fuse it to other dance elements. Turkish Rom dance is richly expressive and playful, passionate and fun. Students will dance the pure form to traditional music in 9/8 time signature. Then we will use non-traditional music to create a scintillating, original fusion choreography, drawing on the technique and knowledge of the folkloric form. Please bring a notebook, and wear yoga pants, a simple hip sash and a comfortable top.

Frederique David: New 'UrbanTribal Style' Moves (always evolving)
Sat. 12:30pm to 2:30pm
Want to add to your tribal vocabulary? Learn new moves with the ATS concept of lead and follow developed with non-verbal cues. Frédérique has created new Urban Tribal moves that have been inspired by a variety of ancient and modern dances with fundamental roots in ATS and Cabaret stylized belly dance. Class will begin with elementary yoga / palates based stretches / exercises, ending with isometric upper body strengthening that will help develop excellent upper body posture for dancing as well as our daily life. Be prepared to focus on strong technique throughout the class. By the end we will all be dancing new tribal moves together, as a tribe. *Prior knowledge in ATS is recommended but not necessary. I will go over the concept in class.*


Urban Gypsy: Tribal Skirt Sat. 3:00pm to 5:00pm

Add some Rumba style Flamenco flair to your tribal repertoire. Sahira and Zymirrah will teach a vocabulary of improvisational skirt moves with their associated cues. Special attention will be given to Spanish skirt stylings and body attitude.
~Sunday Workshops~
Visions in Dance: WANTED: FIERCE DANCERS WITH BIG STICKS!
Sun. 10:00am to 12:00pm

Visions In Dance challenges you to dance different, to try something unusual. We will teach a belly dance/modern dance fusion choreography performed with... staffs. Explore this rarely used prop, as we present a choreography that will delve into how to utilize the staff without falling into traditional cane moves. We will also explore the essence of Visions choreography: why particular moves are picked, the nuances within a movement, and how it all ties into a story. Come ready to sweat! We ask that you please bring your own 4' tall, 1 1/2" diameter staff as we will only have a few extras (a wooden closet dowel rod cut to size will do). Knee pads are also recommended. Contact visions@visionsindance.com with questions.

Steven Of Atash Maya San Diego CA: THE SLOW & SUBTLE
Sun. 12:30pm to 3:30pm

This workshop will focus on slowing down and integrating the core to initiate those slow, gooey movements. The warm-up is yogalates based and will concentrate on core, balance, and strengthening exercises that will be applied to the dance form. In the workshop students will drill various slow movements focusing on the core and learn how making subtle changes to the simple movements translates to noticeable beauty. Students will also learn Steven’s Atash Mayan stylized gooey combinations that can be used in an improvisational situation or in choreography.
