Transcultural Fusion Dance

This offering will explore techniques that weave dance movements of North African and Arab origins with American rhythmic movement traditions in a dynamic conversation.  Some may recognize some of the movement stylings as “belly dance”. 

Students will begin with a warm-up practice that encourages one to ground through their feet and legs while cultivating stability and mobility in the hips. We will then explore earthy lower body isolations and full body flows with footwork. These movements will then be translated into combinations that allow for individual expression while connecting to the community. Class will close with a cool-down that will address balancing the areas we embodied while allowing for the space to integrate the elements of the class experience.

Join us for a special workshop series highlighting a diversity of forms from all over the world! All workshops will take place at the New River Moving Arts studio on Fridays from 5:30-6:45 pm.
