Delilah’s Absolute Beginning Belly Dance for Students and Teachers. . . Two hours This is a class for all those interested in the subject of belly dance from beginning to advanced even teachers. Eventually, we all are asked to show our friends a few moves. When we can teach, break down the moves, and articulate the concepts in simple terms, we affirm for ourselves a complete understanding of the dance. This is very important. This class deals with establishing basic alignment in the body for proper and effective isolations. We discuss the five ingredients for a good warm up and we undergo a vivid internal awareness and focus with a 40-50 minute thorough mapping of the internal realms of the body. We will even approach the Horizontal Belly Roll (the most difficult belly roll I know). We will talk about what our goals are and how to speed up your journey along the learning curve by using a weight belt and other training gear. We approach the basic walking shimmy from different directions, because people learn and catch on in different ways. Basic concepts for engaging arms and hands are discussed along with an overview of basic vocabulary. Figure eights - an easy construct - and an hour glass - a more difficult concept - are taught. Early registrants receive a $5.00 Coupon for Visionary Dance Production Merchandise. Magnolia Room.
Wednesday November 12, 7:00 pm
Delilah’s Veil Class . . . 3 hours The dynamics of the veil dance are broken down and conceptualized. We then move on to a collection of veil techniques. A short choreographed dance entitled Lilah assists us in mastering transitions from one movement to the next. We discuss styles, approaches and different sized veils and scarves. We work with Gypsy dancing to 9/8 rhythms with a veil. We learn a few veil wraps, and unwraps, as well as artful tucks and veil draping. As an extended veil banquet, we learn Delilah’s famous Veil Therapy and veil plays veil exchange, veil water wheel, the Veil Origami Dance, and perhaps, if time allows, her Prayer to Ishtar dance.
Early registrants will receive a veil. 2003 Magnolia Room
