Belly Dance Drills and Conditioning
In this class, students will begin by exploring the use of the abdomen, chest, spine and pelvis through a series of yoga postures and dynamic flows. Using Pilates strengthening and stabilizing exercises as well as yoga-based breathing techniques, students will work to develop flexible, fluid strength and most of all, an increased awareness of their bodies. Students will then drill fundamental belly dance isolations and practice layering these moves together at different tempos as well as with level changes traveling moves. This class is best suited for those with previous belly dance experience and who have a strong understanding of basic, fundamental belly dance moves. The focus of this class is to give participants the tools and awareness to safely prepare and condition one’s self for the dance.
Indo-Fusion Belly Dance
Mandara has created a unique fusion of belly dance inspired by classical (Bharatanatyam and Kathak) and folkloric (Rajasthani Kalbeliya) styles of Indian dance. In this workshop, they will share with you some of the histories and backgrounds of these rich dances so that you can understand and appreciate the roots and essences of these dances. Then you will learn steps, combinations and energetics that celebrate the spirit of these dance forms while incorporating some belly dance techniques.
