10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. - Gahwazee Influenced Improv
Take the dance back to its roots! Inspired by the folk dances of Upper Egypt, Urban Gypsy brings you a "brand new" (but really old!) vocabulary of sassy and earthy movement combinations from their time spent with the Gahwazee and folk dancers in Cairo last year. Hearken back to the days of dancing in the desert with Urban Gypsy. Don't forget your zills!
2 - 4 p.m. - Troupe Synchronicity
Learn some tricks to make different body types, different strength levels, long legs, short legs, long or short torsos ALL look enough alike to paint a total picture. You will to take home some exercises to help make you more aware of the differences and to help get you in sync with your dance partners!
Sunday, July 27
10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. - Sharp and Funky Movements with Sahira
Using funky pops, locks & intense isolations to create a modern urban flair in your dance. Usable on the stage or in your favorite club.
2 - 4 p.m. - The Joy of Poi: Fireless Fire Spinning
Basic poi technique and transitions for the belly dancer. No fire will be used in class.
* Practice poi can be purchased at many online stores, including www.homeofpoi.com/. Or, make your own using 2 tennis balls and a pair of strong stockings (the thick, opaque kind) or tube socks.
