Awaken the Goddess: Belly Dance Workshop 

Sunday, January 22

NOLA Spaces

10:30am-3:30pm

Space is limited (limited to 10 dancers)



Morning Session 10:30am-12pm (Morning Session Only $25)

BELLY DANCE ESSENTIALS: After a meditative opening to our retreat day, we will start with a brief overview of belly dance history and the cultural and technical root of the movements and then dive into "Basic 12" (The 12 movements I've identified as the base and foundation to all belly dance movements combinations). This session was created with True Beginners as an introduction to belly dance technique and for Intermediate/Advanced dancers who want to do an intentional deep dive into technique to better understand the movements.

10:30am-12pm

  • Opening & Intention-Setting (Bring on 2023!!)
  • Intro to Raqs Sharqi (History and Culture)

  • Basic 12 Belly Dance Technique & Movements- Awaken the Belly Dance Goddess!


---------------------

Lunch/Snack Break 

  • 12pm-12:30pm

  • (Bring a light lunch to enjoy at the studio)

---------------------


Afternoon Session: 12:30pm-3:30pm (Afternoon Session-Only: $50)

DARBUKA EXPLOSION!

After our lunch break, we will dive right into an intense, powerful, and upbeat drum solo that combines Arabic drum rhythms and folklore. Activating our Shakti and embracing the power of healing movement, we will work through one of my favorite choreographies and a joy to teach and learn!


You don’t want to miss this opportunity for an in depth session of “Darbuka.” The awesome thing is... You can continue working and building on that knowledge in our classes from March-June. With an opportunity to learn and perform this choreography at our show in June 2023.

 

CLOSING MEDITATION

  • Discover the Miracle of Mindfulness and Awaken the chakras!

  • Learn about and experience Energy clearing, Crystal Healing, Chakra Activation, and an extended cooldown to help you balance and connect. Energy Clearing and Crystal Healing

  • You will need to bring a yoga mat, blanket or throw, 2 pillows or a bolster. Feel free to bring your crystals, if you have any, to activate- otherwise, we will work with crystals in class that you can learn about, if interested.
