In both Yoga & BellyDance there are moments when we utilize and flex our muscles and there are times when we soften and let the movement fludily breathe thru our bodies. Class will begin with a thorough Yoga warm up designed for BellyDancers; how to open up some of those 'problem areas' and improve our posture. We will then find moments in music while dancing (with and without veil) when we should drill our muscles and moments when we will soften up while dancing. Bring a Yoga Mat & Veil to workshop.
Strong and sensual movement comes from the center of your being and Cassiopeia is a master at balanced core-based movement. Come learn to tap into the power of your center with this award-winning dancer!
In this class we will look at different kinds of shimmies, use of shimmies as a layerting tool and some of the techniques, pstures and other devices used by the stars of belly dance to expand their shimmy repertoire in order to more fully interpret the music.
