The Shimmy Shakedown - (10am-noon) Solidify your shimmy work with an in-depth focus on this essential belly dance technique. We'll get in to the nitty gritty details as we define different kinds of shimmies- 4/4, 3/4, vibrations, shoulder shimmies and more. We will incorporate dynamic floor patterns, traveling, spins, upper body layers, and shimmies for slow music in this exciting class. I will also share with you my unique approach to achieving big, juicy shimmies. Super Duper Slow- working your slow to the limit! (1-3pm) We will cover a brief warm up focused on lengthening muscles and opening major joints to develop range of motion for slinky slow dancing. Emphasis will be on deepening technique, embodying the music, and finding shapes and lines with a sculptural approach to dance.
