TECHNIQUE & FLOW
Take your dance practise to the next level! This workshop 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 fire your home practise through the autumn months ahead.
CYMBAL CIRCLE
Let's start a percussion revolution!! Join us for the 1st of (hopefully) many cymbal circles open to all. Each circle meeting will cover key cymbal patterns* with options to sit, stand and/or dance while playing. We will explore different tonal technique employed in a wide variety of training styles including Turkish Zills, Egyptian Toura and American Finger Cymbals and will end the lesson with an inclusive and supportive improvisation circle. 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
