11am - 1 pm Divine Tribal Duets: Duets can add an elegant element to a set,( and sometimes you only have two dancers available! ) In this workshop we show you how to "pass" both the slow and the fast, how to engage with a single partner, and postural skills for duets that are truly divine! This workshop is best suited for intermediate and advanced dancers
2 pm - 4 pm It's a Set-up!
Note: These concepts are inspired by FCBD choreographies, with the exception of the "Labyrinth" with is a Tamarind exclusive.
In this workshop you will learn the art of the "Set up", which are formations to make your performances exhilarating and make the audience take notice. What looks like a complex choreography is actually a pre-planned "set-up" formation, using improv within it's framework. You will learn "set-ups" such as the line up, reverse vortex, V formation and the Labyrinth.
This workshop can be taken by both intermediate and advanced students.
Show! Come and see all your friends, perform, and watch unda, Niada, QC Hippers and Tamarind Tribal Bellydance! If you are interested in performing, please register as soon as possible and email tribeunda@gmail.com. Dancers who register before Sept. 15 will be included on promotional materials.
