Reed Watkins of Kansas City, Missouri

Reed Watkins of Kansas City has been studying sword since 1979. He will give a mini workshop on how to incorporate Chinese, Japanese and European sword maneuvering into your belly dance repertoire. Reed has been belly dancing since 2004 so he knows how to work the sword. I have taken Reed's workshops and have seen him perform...he is incredible!! Audiences always enjoy his dynamic martial arts belly dance fusion performances. He will show you that a sword is more than something to balance.

Reed gives sword dancing a realistic flavor by teaching how swords are used in combative situations. When he dances his martial arts training is evident. Reed makes the sword flow gracefully with the dance. This is not a Tahtib class. It will cover Eastern and Western sword techniques.

Saturday June 27th – 3:15pm – 4:45pm
Sword Maneuvering 101 – Fusion Style!!
Experience Level: Intermediate to advanced.

Reed will be teaching traditional sword cuts, stances, and maneuvering from Chinese, Japanese, and European sword schools. Be prepared to drill!! He will incorporate fluid martial arts moves used with sword and belly dance. You may want to do some upper body strengthening prior to the workshop. Practice swords will be available.

Workshop Fee - $25
This price is good until May 15th. May 16th the cost will increase to $35.
