BELLY-ESQUE w/ Eva La Feva!
In this workshop, we will take a muscular-based approach to studying key belly dance movements so you can utilize the technique in your burlesque practice. Special emphasis will be placed on isolated chest shimmies, full-body undulations ("body waves"), hip circles, pelvic locks, a variety of hip shimmies, and snaking arm technique. Through this modern approach to belly dance, we will break down the science behind what makes a dancer appear controlled, sensual, and powerful. In addition, we will discuss belly dance history and it's relationship to burlesque.
Before you leave class, you will understand how these art forms are different (but share a similar movement vocabulary) and how to present this movement in a way that is not disrespectful or an appropriation of another culture.
