Lotus Moon World Fusion Belly Dance presents
Flamenco-Belly Dance Fusion Workshop
with Heléna Melone
Saturday, October 14th | 10:30-4:30
1 Front Street Studio #148, Rollinsford, New Hampshire03869
10:30 - 12:30: Flamenco Essentials
Exploring the traditional vocabulary of "marcaje" (marking), we develop the body-melody of flamenco through floor patterning and "brazeo" -- the body, arm, and hand movements -- which define flamenco as a powerfully expressive and sensuously passionate dance. This class is perfect for both flamenco dancers wanting to focus on brazeo technique, marking and "aire", as well as dancers wanting to expand their repertoire.
12:30 - 2:00: Lunch
Several restaurants in walking distance
2:00 - 4:30: Flamenco-Belly Fusion with Mantón* Learn one more element of flamenco -- "vueltas" (spitfire turns!) -- as the class moves into fusing the morning's flamenco with belly dance moves. This part of the class will focus on dancing with and manipulation of the mantón. *(Please bring a large shawl or a weighted veil!)
