Intensive week (weekend workshops below)

April 24 to 27, 2011 - everyday 9:30 to 13:30

Each day will begin with a brief daily regimen of stretching and strengthening, exploring new exercises and methods with slight variations every day. 

Core dance technique:  Practicing  good alignment goes a LONG way toward the longevity of your dance.  We will relate and integrate several dance styles into this portion of class, emphasizing clean technique, lines, angles and connections throughout.

ChoreoLab:  Tools and new skills for accessing your creative self!  This portion of class will introduce techniques and ideas for creating original, inspired choreography, for yourself or your students. 

Butoh no Kokoro:  Exploring the Ma- dancing our way through the Interspace.  This workshop is my personal favorite.  We will dive into the world of Ankoku Butoh, Japanese for ‘black dance’; here we will find ourselves in the role of channel and ghost, allowing ourselves to explore expression, freedom, and the dissolving of ego in an inspired and safe space.  This class is excellent for anyone with fear or anxiety about dance or performance.

Egyptian Fusion:  Weaving traditions together.  This class explores the contrasts and similarities between Tribal bellydance and Classical Oriental dance.  As we practice greatly varying styles and techniques, we will create unique combos that bridge the gap between Middle East and West.

*throughout the week we will be building on the choreography from ChoreoLab too

maximum of 20 students!!

The workshop weekend:

Down To Get the Friction On!  Shimmies That Kick Butt, For Every Body -

Shimmies are one of the most exciting parts of belly dance, tribal, cabaret or oriental; nothing makes a crowd scream like shimmies!  They can bring tons of fresh energy to choreography, improvisation, or drum solo.  This class will bring together techniques from many different parts of the world, as well as different eras in the history of the dance; ranging from Upper Egypt to Cairo; from Morocco to Tunisia, all the way over to the U.S..  Please arrive ready to shake what your Mama gave ya, and refrain from wearing any kind of jingly or noisy hip scarf or belt. Saturday April 23 - 10:00 - 13:00 - € 55,-

Diggin for Gold- A Creative Approach to Being Creative, Fearlessly -

Do you ever find it hard to make a new choreography?  You find a few songs you like, you have a few ideas and you can imagine how you want the dance to look- kind of- but you feel stuck?  You are not alone!  Every choreographer can experience a dancer’s version of writer’s block- but guess what?  There are a lot of techniques you can use to help you get past the creative slump and keep you moving towards becoming a productive artist!  This class is half lecture and half lab; we will experiment with theatrical exercises, visualizations and story building; trying new ways, moving dynamically and differently is the name of the game.  This class is designed with slightly more advanced dancers in mind; however, bold beginners with good focus are also most welcome. Saturday April 23 - 14:00 - 17:00 - € 55,-

The Lead That Floats:  The newest of the choreos -

This brand-new choreography explores a blend of opposite themes; artful juxtaposition of groundedness and expansion; flying and balance.  This class is open to multiple levels of dancer, some dance experience is recommended. Sunday April 24 - 14:30 - 17:30 - € 55,-

1 workshop: 55,- / 2 workshops: 105,- / 3 workshops: 150,- (refunded on site)

minimum of 20 students each workshop! For questions, please contact me at halima@halimadans.nl
