Dramatic Fusion workshop with Naimah
Add theatrical elements to your performance with emphasis on precise isolations, and stage presence. In this workshop students will learn basic tribal style technique and posture, fluid arm movement, popping, locking, tick tocking, and serpent-like body movements. Dancers will learn to think outside of the box and movements can be used to spice up Caberet style performances. We will begin with an intense body conditioning warm up and drills to improve muscle control and memory and isolation skills.

By popular demand, Wendy is offering a two hour workshop comprising of her Belly Dance Boot Camp, Hip Hop Belly Dance, and a little sassy Exotic Dance. Belly Dance Boot Camp is a Suhaila Salimpour based technique class that focuses on the total body. Wendy also draws from her yoga practice, personal and athletic training experience, as well as her time in the Army. And on the more yin side of things, sassy Exotic Dance is incorporated into the warm up and cool down. Belly Dance Hip Hop fuses the fundamentals of Oriental Dance with old and new school Hip Hop and club dance mixes. This is going to be A LOT of fun!

Feel free to bring either dance sneakers or regular fitness shoes for the Hip Hop portion of the class though they are not required. Please make sure the bottom of your shoes are clean and free of fragments that could scratch the dance surface.
