This term holds exciting discoveries for those more experienced dancers.
We will continue our beautiful sensual journey through this ancient dance form. Exploring all the beautiful sensual sides of Belly dancing. You will learn new combinations, refining your dancing technique, perfect isolations and sharpen your pops and locks.
You will learn about the perfect balance within our dance form of the masculine and feminine. Through somatics we will explore the Elements and the important connection between the elements, musicality & the movements we connect with them. Bringing an extra dimension to your dance.
We will be focusing on connecting to your inner emotions as you dance and how to fluidly combine your movements (arms, body, hips and feet) with ease when you are improvising.
We will have lots of fun exploring beautiful combinations that will come together in a fun joyous Choreography. This term will be working on a veil choreography and a short dynamic drum solo.
You will have the opportunity to perform this choreography at the Bellydance Expo in October.
All you need to know for class.
What to Bring
- A bottle of water to rehydrate
- socks or dance jiffies
- An open heart and a warm smile to embrace the journey.
- A shimmy belt (if you don’t have one Julz will have one you can borrow for the first class , or you can purchase one from Julz for the remaining term in week 2)
What to Wear
- Wear comfortable, stretchy clothing that doesn't restrict your movement. Dance pants, gym pants, yoga pants or leggings are recommended for the bottom half so that I can see what your legs and knees are doing. Avoid jeans and skirts.
- For the top half, t-shirts or singlets - you don't have to bare your tummy!
- For belly dancing bare feet are fine, but bring along some socks, jiffies or ballet slippers for turns and for when it's cold.
- A hip scarf or coin belt, anything you can tie around your hips is good. I will have a shimmy belt you can borrow for the first week of class or they can be purchased in class from week 2
- This class is an opportunity to express yourself in ways that you might not in your everyday life, so please feel free to dress up as much or little as you would like.
What to leave behind!
What I love about Belly dancing is the beautiful nurturing sisterhood this dance creates. For this to happen, we need to be loving and kind to ourselves and those around us.
I ask you to please come with an open heart and to leave judgment of your self and of others behind.
