Controlled Burn is pleased to host and proud to be able to present to the community two fire workshops by “Bliss Butterfly” and “Ian Michael Smith”.
Bliss is a professional fire bellydance instructor, performer and an avid student of the movement arts. She began her practice of yoga at fourteen and incorporates the balance of acroyoga in dance prayerformances. She has offered a variety of workshops at events and festivals which include yoga, bellydance, hoop bellydance, fire bellydance, and double staff dance. Her philosophy on the art of fire began and continues to stem from a dance backround and gives emphasis to proper body mechanics, technique, movement and interaction with fellow dancers. All workshops with Bliss begin with warming up muscles with specific stretches for the areas of repeated use in class. Bliss is a fiery bellydancer and enjoys sharing the inspiration that is this community!
Ian has been fire dancing for about eight years. Poi is his favorite and he also spins staff, double staff, double whips, contact juggling, and ball juggling. He currently performs with Vulcan Crew, Copper Lantern Fire Theater, LumenAscent, Think13 and have recently started to work with Bliss Butterfly. I am also a modern dancer. I have trained extensively in the Axis Syllabus, and currently perform with Capacitor and Corpi Liquidi. He was involved in founding the Spinagogue, and am currently involved in creating Kindle, the first fire arts culture magazine.
Bliss and Ian will be offering two workshops:
6:30 pm- 7:45pm - Intermediate Staff Dance
This Class will focus on interactions between the staff and your body. We will do a quick overview of off-center spinning then work with using the momentum of the staff to move your body and visa versa. We will then work with aspects like quality and levels and end with ways to utilize the hand that does not have the staff in it.
8:00 pm-9:15 pm - Poi Dance Techniques (All levels)
This class will focus on techniques and drills I have found useful when learning to dance with poi. We will cover pendulums, stalls, polyrhythum, turning, and hip transitions.
Cost: $25 for one session, $40 for both sessions.
Please note that money contributed goes DIRECTLY to the instructors. Controlled Burn is facilitating these workshops to happen, we make nothing from them.
Please join us! This proves to be an awesome good time! We will free spin and light up after 9:15 if there is interest. If you wish to do this, please bring a can of fuel to share.
