TECHNIQUE & FLOW
Take your dance practise to the next level! These workshops focuses on identifying, targeting and recruiting the joints and muscles used in SWANA/belly dance with enhanced stretching, strength training and drills so that you can move more effectively and efficiently in your dance practise. This is TECHNIQUE. Develop consistent FLOW of movement and musical interpretation through masterfully lead choreography and improvisation in the second half of the workshop. All accompanied by the beautiful music of Anatolia, Egypt, Greece and Armenia.
No matter what your level or personal goals, you will come away from this workshop filled with new inspiration and content to enrich your personal practise.
CYMBAL CIRCLE
Let's start a percussion revolution!! Learn and practise key finger cymbal patterns* as well as more unusual and complex ones with the option to sit, stand and/or dance while playing. Explore different tonal technique employed in a wide variety of training styles including Turkish Zills, Egyptian Toura and American Finger Cymbals. With continued practise together, we can evolve into a percussion ensemble who practise and play together regularly and welcome new players into the fold to progress the art of finger cymbal playing and its presence in the Southwest. What can we achieve if we consistently support and train with each other? I am convinced that it is something very special.
*Key cymbal patterns include 3's, 5's, 7's, 3-3-7, 3-7-3, 3-1-3-1-3, etc
