Floor Work Made Easy
Introduction to Floor Work
This is an ideal workshop if you are new to or uncomfortable with performing floor work and wish to have some of the movements demystified while learning some dance conditioning techniques for preparing the body for the more demanding movements of floor work, to be able to perform floor work with fluidity and ease. We will focus on movements and combinations that require moderate strength and flexibility and introduce back bend movements and technique. This is a great prelude to future floor work workshops.

Traipsing and Waltzing Hither and Yon
Promenades for Belly Dancers
OK standing in place but don’t know how to get across the floor and still look and feel like a dancer? This workshop will focus on dance conditioning training and technique for learning to walk like a dancer, and promenade across the floor, using floor patterns and belly dance movements. Learn how to psychically define your space. This workshop will also introduce basic Spins, Turns, Arabesques and Attitudes both with and without the veil, and dance conditioning training and technique for proper positioning and posture of the upper body for graceful and beautiful arms and hands while dancing.
July 11
Belly Gram
Anatomy of a Belly Gram (Lecture, Demonstration and Rehearsal Included.)
Belly Grams can be a fun, lucrative and demonstrative way to perform as a Belly dancer in public and for private parties. How to conduct a belly gram will be discussed and played out in detail. We will practice ways to orchestrate your show and use props for a fun, effective and smooth performance that will enliven any occasion. This workshop is back by popular demand!
July 18
Veil Work
Unwinding your Veil
Learn several different and unique ways to wrap the veil and different ways of unwrapping it, while dancing during a performance, will be explored and practiced during this very helpful workshop. Having clear techniques for veil wraps is essential to creating a smooth transition between our first and second songs during the traditional routine. We will explore how to have our veils on just right - snug enough to survive the first piece without falling off our bodies too soon, and easily removable for a graceful “unveiling”.
July 25
Advanced Floor Work with Finger Cymbals
We will cover technique and specific movement combinations for belly dancing floor work, including how to play the zills while dancing to a heavy chiftitelli. Learn how to descend, rise, and move while dancing floor work and zill. Floor work and zill work are rarely seen, and very rarely seen done well. Let’s revitalize this beautiful, hypnotic and strong aspect of the traditional belly dance routine. It will give your dancing dynamics, depth and strength. If you missed past floor work workshops, definitely attend this one!
Note: While some workshop topics are repeated, the specific content, combinations and choreography is always original and new, with the latest in dance conditioning training and technique.
Plan to dance barefoot or in soft ballet shoes or socks. Wear comfortable form-fitting dance clothing and bring your finger cymbals, veils and hip belts, and a yoga mat (optional) for floor work.

Advanced Belly Dance Class Curriculum Explanation
Advanced belly dance classes will assume that dancers already know the basic belly dance movement vocabulary and are ready to learn the more intricate and sophisticated ways of combining, layering, and creating dance pieces based on belly dance movement vocabulary. Combinations, techniques and advanced movements are taught for all aspects of the belly dance, including floor work, drum solo, and veil, to slow and fast music and to the variety of basic belly dance rhythms. Advanced dancers are taught to infuse advanced technical aspects of dance performance such as emotional expressions, mood changes, story telling, energy changes, infusing breath and life into the movements, internalization and externalization of movement energy, and acknowledging spatial quadrants.
