WORKSHOP

Drum Workshop for Bellydance Rhythms
with Gorkem
Saturdays June 7 & June 21
, 5:30-7:30pm

Dancers have to know their music, and the best way to understand it is to learn to play it. But this workshop is not just for dancers - students will learn the fundamental technique to play the most common rhythms in middle-eastern and Mediterranean music on the hand drum (aka tabla, darbuka, or dumbek). Bring your own drum or let us know if you would like us to order one for you.

This is a special workshop -- no passports or 10 class cards may be used. But -- REGISTER HERE and save $$$! (60$ if you pre-register for both classes, 35$ per class at the door)

WORKSHOP

ABS-OLUTELY FABULOUS!
ABDOMINAL TECHNIQUE WITH PRINCESS FARHANA
Sunday June 22
, 3-4:30pm

No matter what style of belly dance you perform, this special workshop
will help you become a better BELLY dancer, by focusing exclusively on
abdominal technique and core strength, laying the foundation for truly
incredible abdominal work.
Learn how to flutter and achieve amazing belly rolls- we’ll drill rolls
upwards, downwards and from side to side! You will also learn to LAYER your
abdominal movements, like the amazing “flundulation”, a flutter layered over
a belly roll; or combining abdominal work with figure eights and upper torso
isolations. Other technique includes stomach pops, many types of body waves
and undulations, muscular isolations and breathe control.
Pretty soon you’ll be yellin’, “That’s Just How I Roll!"
* Participants must have knowledge of basic belly dance technique to
participate.

This is a special workshop -- no passports or 10 class cards may be used. But -- you CAN register HERE!
