9-11am GINA (Tucson) ONCE MORE WITH FEELING!
Exciting combos in the classic cabaret style! Learn movement sequences and transitions that you can use as building blocks for your own choreographies or in semi-improvisational performance. Combos will emphasize the art of expression with movement. This workshop will also include some improvisational exercises to help bring out YOUR expressive style!
Gina received her early training from Suhaila and Jamila Salimpour and was a member of both Suhaila Dance Company and Bal Anat. She currently performs, teaches and promotes events in Tucson.
11:15am – 1:15 pm CARMEN EVANS (Tucson) DOWN-HOME BELADI
Expand your repertoire of styles by learning traditional beladi to authentic music. We will learn clean, clear, hip and arm movements with power and grace designed to ignite an audience. Emphasis will be on hearing and interpreting the music with appropriate moves, gestures and feelings. We will also examine how to make your dancing more authentic when you wish and how to expand that authenticity to lift the level of your choreography and performance to truly professional heights.
