This class will focus on simple, clean and relaxed technique, and personal artistic development. Please bring comfortable stretchy layers for warming up and cooling down.

Each class will include:

1. Short Viniyoga sequences (usually gentle) at the beginning and end of class to both prepare and compensate for the particular topic for that day,
2. Simple and high energy drills that focus on a particular type of movement or anatomical focus such as obliques, basic shapes, footwork, etc.
3. A daily focus. Topics include: solo improvisation, drum solo improvisation, creating group choreography, and building your own vocabulary. Each class is flexible, changeable, and customized for the feeling of the class, since each intensive is a different community. The goal is a classroom environment that meets the needs of each student, and maximizes students' understanding of technique, developing their own choreographic and improvisational Belly Dance work, and confidence in their own ability to assess their own work and create an efficient practice.

Class size is limited to 20!!

Due to the level of the class, we advice more experienced dancers to take part in this intensive
