Foundational bellydance movement and dance conditioning taught in a fun, fast-paced style with a party vibe. Develop core strength, cleaner isolations, cardio endurance, balance/coordination, and flexibility. Suitable for both new and experienced dancers! You choose your degree of challenge.
This bellydance style fuses elements of Middle Eastern, North African, Turkish, Indian, and Spanish Flamenco folk dances to create an elegant tapestry of movement that projects strength and grace. Each week we dig into one slow and one fast step, exploring nuances, variations, and personal stylizations. Then we drill those steps in flow to play with transitions, step sentiment, and musicality. This session our focus will be steps from the Shimmy and Taxeem families. Finger cymbals encouraged, but not required. Open level; some prior bellydance experience is recommended.
A challenging but fun class for those who want the full FCBD experience! Formations and passes; choreography and improvisational choreography; musicality and finger cymbals; advanced vocabulary and concepts; picky technique; and performance skills are explored in these ongoing topical classes. Students must be concurrently enrolled in FCBD Vocabulary Deep Dives, or have demonstrated competency in Levels 1 and 2 FCBD vocabulary. This class is required for all troupe members.
Troupe meets year-round to prepare for scheduled and impromptu performance opportunities. Students are nurtured on an individual basis to promote growth and reach dance goals. Students must be enrolled in weekly technique classes to participate in the student troupe. Attendance during stated periods prior to performance is mandatory, and additional rehearsals may be required; participation in any performance is at the discretion of the director.
Explore new patterns and rhythms to expand your repertoire; drill for strength, speed, and clarity; have fun layering percussion over SharQui combinations and FCBD vocabulary. Accessible to all levels of learner. Beginners welcome!
