Ideas for New Classes 2012BEYOND THE BASICS CHOREOGRAPHY CLASSESThis approach to bellydance is a holistic one, as we strive to utilize dance as not only a physical tool for movement and energy flow but also as a means to create a story, inspire deep emotional transformation through the characters we create and engage our spiritual selves with love, purpose and meaning.
Our goal will be to create a new choreography together each term using the above principles to guide us along the way. Meditation, sharing tea in circle and developing our intuition in a safe space are non-dance activities that will also form part of this class.
(I encouraged students interested in this class to first take the basic Bellydancing to gain an understanding of the concepts we are working with in the Holistic Bellydance class; however exceptions may be made in certain cases.)
