Graceful Arms & Hands 

Like the "dot "of the "I" or the "cross" in the "T" arms and hands are the finishing touches to your dance.    And often the most overlooked and underpracticed thing of our dance.  A dancers arms and hands can express so much with the smallest of movements when done with the right technique and intention in movement.  

In this class we will be working on intentful hand and arm drills and combination patterns to up your arm and hand game.   

​

The Flow of Bellyrolls and Undulations
Like water moves around obstacles undulations move through a dancers body.  Be it the focus of the dance or the transitional path between moves; the dancers ability to isolate and connect undulations is key to fluid and powerful bellydance movement. 

In this class we will focus on Bellyroll,  Upper and Lower Undulation technique through isolatin drills and  flow combinations.

​

Strike a Pose 

The pose is more important than we show!  From the beginning of your dance until the end, poses and the transitions in and out of them are key.   The pose can set the mood, change the charcter, show emotions and more. 

 

In this class we will explore  classic and unique poses as well as work a vareity of transitions between them.
