Ashley Lopez Workshop in Bend, Oregon April 26!
Ashley López will be coming to Bend, and sharing her sinuous, slinky dance with us in "Fast & Furious: Silky Snake"
Belly dance is characterized by sharp, isolated locks as well as those sultry, "snakelike" movements. It is therefore ideal for dancers to be able to showcase both of these modes of movement in a balanced and seamless manner.
In this workshop, you will practice quick, clean execution of isolated locks throughout the body. You'll work up a sweat drilling these powerful movements with increasing speed. Next we will break down those notorious fluid belly dance moves: belly rolls, body rolls, figure 8's and flowing arms. You will learn about the musculature behind those difficult movements that are so delicious to watch. Ever notice the way some dancers make you weak in the knees with their belly rolls? You'll discover why, and how to work up to it!
During the last section of class, we will discuss using this dichotomy between sharp and fluid in a graceful way, so you can interchange them with ease. As time allows, we will go through a combo or two that illustrates what you just learned, and then we'll put it to music and talk about how and when to use these movements so you're interpreting the music intelligently and beautifully.
This class is designed for the student who has a basic understanding of belly dance and is looking to deepen and strengthen their dancing. Some experience strongly suggested, although class will be taught with multi-level options.
