Where Are Your Arms? with Diana

Public
 · Hosted by The Dance Space

   100 Barber Avenue, Worchester, MA 01606

Group improvisation via non-verbal communication is the core of American Tribal Style®'s dynamic presentation. Because our lower bodies are covered in full skirts and pantaloons, the majority of our communication happens using the arms and upper body. This workshop will focus on arm positions for several popular fast moves, and fine tune your placement for more efficient and intentional communication. As a happy side effect, be prepared to up your elegance game considerably! 

Please bring your zils, and be familiar with:
Egyptian basic
reach and sit
Arabic basic
Arabic hip twist
3/4 shimmy
box step
Chico four corners

*we may not get to all these moves in one session, but we shall try!


$35

Elizabeth Strong Workshops in CNY

Public


All for the Love of Dancing
305 S Main St, Syracuse, New York 13212
The 3 Early Girls are taking over all your Holiday Weekends! 
Presenting: Elizabeth Strong September 1 & 2 

Sign up for the entire weekend and dive in deep!

Elizabeth Strong is a San Francisco Bay Area dancer, choreographer, and teacher whose work focuses on the integrity and spirit of traditional dance forms inside of a contemporary framework. Elizabeth was a touring member of Bellydance Superstars, and was a founding member of Bellydance Evolution and of Beats Antique’s dance company with Zoe Jakes. A former principal member of Katarina Burda’s Aywah! Ethnic Dance Company, Elizabeth has traveled to Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Morocco, Greece and Bulgaria to study closely at the source and is now considered one of the leading experts in the form. She performs with live music groups including Kugelplex, MWE, Brass Menazeri, and Fishtank Ensemble, and renowned world musicians including Faisal Zeidan and Rumen Sali Shopov.

Elizabeth has had original choreographies commissioned by Jill Parker and Jillina Carlano, and has received grants from Zellerbach Foundation and from Bill Graham Presents Foundation. Her Turkish Roman instructional DVD was released in 2011. Elizabeth currently teaches and performs internationally. Find Elizabeth (and her DVD) at www.strongdancer.com

Teaching

Elizabeth Strong Dance Teacher
Elizabeth’s teaching specialties include Turkish Roman, Bellydance, finger cymbals, musicality, floorwork, isolation, balancing with props, D.I.Y. Fusion, and strengthening. Elizabeth’s education as a dancer has been unique in that she has been trained through both Western, formal technique, and in the Old World style of following by simply watching and imitating. She tries to use both methods in her teaching, allowing the feel of the form to 
become familiar to her students, while guiding with explainations about important details, from muscle control to cultural background.

Most of all, Elizabeth strives to create a learning environment that is joyful, nurturing, and fun, as well as educational.

THE WEEKEND

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 1st:
Musicality: 4 hours 11:30-4:00
Join Elizabeth Strong, former Bellydance Superstar and Emmy Award winning musician, Dan Cantrell to get a deep dive into musicality. Learn how you can shape your dance, improvise more freely, and feel confident and comfortable dancing to live music. With their twenty years of professional experience teaching and performing all over the world, this generous and heartfelt artistic couple provide a safe and inviting space to nourish your love of music and dance.

If you've got some basics and you're ready to develop your artistry, then this is the workshop for you!

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 2nd:
Fancy 9/8 Footwork of the Turkish Roman: 4 hours 10:30 - 2:30 

This introductory course to Turkish Roman Dance will cover everything from toes to head, arms to belly. Fiery, fun footwork, and story telling gestures make this dance totally unique and expressive. Elizabeth learned this dance among the Rom (or “Gypsy”) people in Turkey, and has taught and performed for almost two decades. She is sought out as one of the leading experts in the form and sited as an international bridge between cultures. The fancy, fun styling of Turkish Roman dance are at once familiar and foreign to many belly dancers. The material offered in this class is 
challenging and deeply layered for all levels, offering sublime subtlety for advanced students and exciting overviews for beginners. Everyone will find a way to go deeper into their own practice while experiencing the rich and wonderfully colorful, traditionally improvisational movement of Turkish Roman dance. In this 4 hour intensive we will watch videos and learn a choreography!

9/8 footwork classes are a total workout that will make you feel great, and add depth to your own dance vocabulary, whatever your background.

-Every participant gets a bonus MP3 download of authentic Turkish Roman music to listen to at home!

https://youtu.be/sa9NXJwSiH8

September 28-30, 2018
Studio location to be announced!

Limited to only 20 students!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN: http://danielledance.com/choreographers-vision-featuring-kami-liddle-registration-is-open/#latestnews

FRIDAY // 7:00pm - 9:00pm
CENTER OF GRAVITY
Power and freedom in movement emerges from having a calm and grounded center. A dancer who has mastery of their center of gravity is able to move through space effortlessly, to stop on a dime, and change momentum with ease. Kami will lead exercises to help strengthen and move from the core, to challenge your balance and move through floor work without fear in order to find a wide spectrum of expression. Knee pads, dance shoes/socks are suggested but not required.

CHOREOGRAPHER'S TOOLBOX:
This is a condensed version of a full week-long intensive that Kami Liddle has developed called Conception that is part of her program Krysalis (Conception will be offered in 2019). These classes are designed for dancers exploring their own personal styles and to help give inspiration for generating new material.

SATURDAY // 10:00am - 1:00pm
RHYTHM, TEXTURE AND NUANCE
In this session the focus will be on personal exploration and finding new and unexpected ways of moving . Kami will provide a basic framework of movement sequences that students will take apart, remix and build upon. We will discuss and explore how to develop the creative mind, how to utilize your inspiration or a lack thereof and how to direct your attention and intention.

Please bring notebook, a writing device and one image that you finding inspiring.

SUNDAY // 10:00am - 1:00pm
DEVISING TECHNIQUES TO DEVELOP YOUR PERSONAL STYLE  
Please note, students must take the first class (Rhythm, Texture and Nuance) in order to take this workshop.
This class will give the dancers the time and space to explore different possibilities to discover and develop their own artistic voice. Getting in touch with and recognizing your movement idiosyncrasies is key to fine tuning your individual voice within the dance. We will explore how emotions can transform material or be used as stimuli. In these sessions, dancers will explore many ways to arrange movement onto themselves, other dancers and groups. 

Friday only - $50 before 8/31; $65 after 8/31
Choreographer's Toolbox (Saturday & Sunday only) - $200 before 8/31; $250 after 8/31
