Tribal Style Circus Concepts & Combinations

Let Satya share her love of play! This workshop is inspired and influenced by circus and cirque performers, and weaves this magic into dance combinations. It is a fun, playful style fusing theatrical aspects with tribal style belly dance. This concept-driven workshop will focus on several ideas that will then be incorporated into dance moves and combinations that can be used in choreography and improvised dancing.

Bad Ass Zilling Workshop with Molly Kuhl

Get ready to get your zill on! Learn a different method of playing zills that is versatile and impressive! Realize your zill’s full potential as musical instruments, and incorporate your skills into your dance. In this two hour workshop we will focus on learning zills, or finger cymbals, and then adding some basic movement. We will learn two different main rhythms ~ the beladi and basic 4 ~ which can then be altered easily to create several other rhythms. We’ll learn two (or three, depending on time) different dance combinations that we will begin to layer with zills.

American Tribal Style (ATS) Belly Dance

Satya also teaches and performs ATS belly dance. She is general skills certified in American Tribal Style Belly Dance by Carolena Nericcio of FatChanceBellyDance, the creator of ATS. Workshops include Level 1 and Level 2 ATS improvisation.

Fire Fusion Belly Dance with Satya

Make your performance sizzle! This introduction to combining fire fans, fingers and torches with belly dance will teach you how to integrate fire into the moves you already know. Designed for the belly dancer looking to add fire into their routine, some belly dance experience is helpful, but not required. Workshop will include a fire fusion choreography, and can be customized to fit your needs.

Poi Spinning – Foundations and Adaptations

Basic and Intermediate Poi spinning – transitions, turns and combinations. We will explore basic moves and their variations to create a well-rounded vocabulary and develop families to draw from. This will allow for seamless transitions and open the possibilities for a more interesting performance. (Taught by Satya and Will)

Beyond Spinning – Poi Dance and Performance Technique

Intermediate level workshop, builds off of concepts from poi spinning foundations, but can also be a stand alone for those who have experience with poi.

Learn to free your movement so you can dance rather than just transitioning from one move to the next. We will explore more challenging concepts such as flower, meltdown, isolation, wraps and variations. We will also introduce simple partner interaction. (Taught by Satya and Will)

**15-30 minute Fire Safety Basics including fire safety and fire-appropriate costuming will be included in any fire workshop. Workshops will not include live fire. **
