Agenda

Due to the Corona virus we have decided to postpone this workshop. Already subscribed? Keep an eye on your mailbox.

The traditional Chinese fan dance is rooted in over two thousand years of history. Since the Han Dynasty, the fan dance evolved into two distinct ways – for civilian dance and for combat. The Warrior fan workshop will draw from this second path, teaching strength, authority, and confidence. Who knew fans could make such an elegant but deadly weapon.

Following a martial arts-inspired warmup, this workshop will begin by reviewing fan techniques from a more strong, combative style. A flow of drills and poses drawing from Kung fu, Tai Chi, and folkloric dance will teach you the essentials of precise and powerful fan work. We’ll put all these moves to the test with a short combination blending these movements with belly dance, creating a unique form of fan fusion.

Please bring any dance fans you may have already if you want to try out the moves with your own props (not fan veils!). One fan per student will be available during the workshop, and will also be available for purchase before or after the workshop.

Fans are classically used in Chinese dance based on a series of symbols and movement vocabulary that help communicate clear emotions and tell a story. After a ballet-inspired warmup, the workshop will go over dance fan technique for flow and elegance. A series of short drills fusing bellydance with Chinese dance will teach how to blend balance, flexibility, and coordination for embellished fan technique. A final combination will put these techniques together to tell the story of how the Moon Goddess came to be.

Please bring any dance fans you may have already if you want to try out the moves with your own props (not fan veils!). One fan per student will be available during the workshop, and will also be available for purchase before or after the workshop.

Looking to achieve that ultimate slinky tribal fusion bellydancer look? In this workshop we will deepen our slow movement, and explore the full potential of our bellydancing body. Yoga and pilates are used to build up a strong foundation: gaining strength in the whole body, flexibilty in the upper body, and better body awareness. Grounding ourselves to become slow, controlled, and smooth, we will work on fluidity within our slow moves such as snaky taxeems, beautiful flowing poses and sensual undulations. A deep dive into all things slow, sleek, and serpentine.
