Turn Up The Drama: Stand out and capture your audience’s attention with these dramatic combos. We will begin with a short warm-up and a break down of the movements before moving onto the combinations. Our focus will be on slow isolated movements while overlaying sharp contrasting isolations to create a unique and theatrical effect.
KAMI LIDDLE - From 2pm to 5pm
Feline Inspired Combinations: I’ve often heard the comment that my dancing had a cat-like quality, so these combinations are inspired by the slow, deliberate, sneaky and playful nature of cats. This workshop asks you to step out of your comfort zone and try a new avenue of movement, combining head, arm, hand, shoulder and leg movements with “bellydance” isolations to create a sinous feline-esque look.
