Hey guys,
Spaces are still available for my intensive October 23rd-25th. I've extended the early bird price of $240 for all 3 days until October 16th. After that you will have to pay the 1/2 day price of $45, or $90/day.
I would also like to clarify what will be taught. I pulled the workshop together to capture pretty much everything that I knew I wasn't going to get around to in weekly classes, with a hefty dose of drilling. Here's a clarification of how the individual sections differ from my weekly classes:
Friday October 23rd (Aurora Live Studios, 392 Queen Street E)
12-2pm: Yoga and fast technique.
230-430: Technique contin. and flexibility training
These are pretty much the only section where there will be some overlap with my Technique classes, but of course, we will be doing so much more drilling than we could possibly fit in in a 75 min class. More variations, different speeds, and lots of sweating. I will also be going into detail about the flexibility training method that I use. I will be explaining the biomechanical reasons why and how it works, how it was developed, and how to apply it to different stretches. This will not be covered in any weekly classes.
Saturday October 24th (Mad For Dance 263 Adelaide St. West)
1230-230: Fusion, movement invention, and creating choreography
This workshop is geared towards more intermediate and advanced dancers - those who either want to start choreographing or who want to improve their existing choreography skills. This will include exercises, demonstrations, discussion, brainstorming, and a LOT of personal feedback.
3-5: Flapper fusion
I will be teaching "That's a Plenty," the fast section from my performance at Tribal Fest 2008:

I have not taught this choreography before and will not be teaching it during weekly classes.
Sunday October 25th (Mad For Dance 263 Adelaide St. West)
12-2: Funk styles for bellydancers - Funkifying your bellydance and bellydancifying your funk.
"We will be going over how to utilize bellydance technique to create illusory effects in popping, contracting different muscle groups to create a hit, breaking down boogaloo rolls in bellydance terminology, and flipping arm waves inside and out. I will also be discussing different dance styles that are commonly performed with popping, and the distinction between popping and locking."
Although some of these concepts are referenced in weekly classes, and some individual moves may be used, I simply do not have time in 60 min to break them down and explain the differences systematically. Funk dance styles are very confusing, mislabeled, overlapping, and rarely taught in clear, safe, muscular basis. This workshop is an attempt to rectify that.
230-430: Slow technique and flexibility.
I will be incorporating elements of my yoga practice to create exercises to improve and practice balance. We will also be drilling moves EXTREMELY slowly, think eighth or sixteenth time.
I would also like to add that this may be a one time opportunity to take this workshop. At this point, I have no plans to repeat this workshop, and, may not be able to continue weekly classes. So, that being said, if you are interested, I recommend taking advantage of it now.
Any questions, please send me an email,
Love,
