HIPS OF FURY
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!
Hips of Fury is now scheduled for March 26-28, 2010!
Hips of Fury is an Alternative Style Belly Dance Competition. Faizeh wanted a way for fledgling tribal and fusion dancers to explore their creativity and help their careers. Faizeh is also immensely afraid of missing those gems whose style doesn't necessarily conform to any set standard, yet will inspire us all. Hips of Fury is set in Palmdale, CA, just outside of Los Angeles
For more information, email Faizeh at hipsoffury@faizeh.com.

Combos and Transitions:
Learn interesting new combinations that really emphasize the “fusion” in tribal fusion bellydance. Learn how to make your combinations and choreography less predictable by utilizing different planes of space and exploring varied staging options. Strong emphasis is also placed on creating interesting transitions between combinations to make choreography more varied. Mini “workshop within the workshop” will consist of several exercises that will help dancers connect to their inner muses and learn effective techniques to generate new choreography. Great workshop for those who want to be challenged and to be pushed off of their dance plateau!

2:00- 3:45 Sherri Wheatley
Shake it like a salt shaker:
Isolations, posture, extension and building choreography: learn the fundamentals of faster paced tribal fusion bellydance. Strong emphasis is placed on developing a correct posture, muscle conditioning and flexibility training. Sharp articulation emphasizing movement and rhythm. We will drill twists, locks, drops, squares, omis and shimmies working to develop the muscles in the lower abs and pelvic area to create crisp, strong hip articulation. We will then take it a step further and move on to drilling these movements within different planes of space, such as level changes and experimenting with variations on the left and right sides of the body. Special emphasis placed on drop turns and drop twists. Students will learn how to create combinations and link them into short choreographies. The goal is to give students the tools to more effectively help link movements together to create their own combinations and to ultimately create a very complete performance. We will also discuss the elements of good stage presence and methods to creating a very strong performance persona.
4:00- 5:45 TABU
Clusterf$%k:
Want to make interesting, close and intimate troupe formations in your choreography? Let TABU teach you the art of "cluster" work. In this workshop, we will explore the tightknit formations that can be created to take your choreography to the next level. We will work on dramatic slow, precise and lyrical movements; fast and travelling movements; & movements that can be used in layers and levels within your cluster. Don't let your cluster work turn into a clusterf$%k.
