LAYER CAKE
Layering is the wow factor in fusion bellydance... let’s dive in!
Challenging layers of different isolations and arm pathways involving more unusual shapes and different
positions will be covered to really take your presentation to the next level as we explore a variety of new possibilities. Expect to learn multiple tips and tricks and plenty of challenge as we work throughout the whole body, from head to hips, arms to feet. Both brain and body will get plenty to chew on here!
open level, 1.5 hours
HIP HIP HOORAY
Let your hips do the talking!
Hipwork is becoming an endangered species in fusion style. It’s time to honour our roots and bring it back!
We will work on building effortless precision and size of articulation with a whole bunch of specialised conditioning exercises building into sassy, juicy hip-work vocabulary and combos bringing the old school into the new school.
We'll try out different speeds and different footwork patterns and you’ll leave with a toolbox of hipwork ideas.

Performance Project & 1 workshop
THE TECHNO PHILOSOPHY
Techno can be as simple as 1,2,3 or as deep and spiritual as we want it to be. It is made of Pulses, it is rhythm.
Sometimes it’s hard and fast, sometimes it’s slow and full of emptiness, and sometimes it needs a pause.
And that’s exactly what happens in life and our choreos.
Let’s train our dance using the 10 rules of techno.
We will have some fun, I swear.
open level, 1.5 hours

THE DARK GODDESS | Own the Space
This workshop is about how you enter the space, move through it, stop, and make the audience stay with you.
We will work with traveling, changes of direction, pauses, stillness, gaze, and the way you carry your body through the stage.
You will explore how small choices in timing, posture, focus, and movement quality can completely change the way your presence is perceived.
How to hold attention without filling every second with movement?
How to create tension, atmosphere, and expectation?
The goal is not to “act confident,” but to learn how to own the space before you even begin to dance.
open level, 1.5 hours
