Workshop with Zoe Jakes: Reverb and Explosive Technique
Host: Zoe Jakes
Info: REVERB AND EXPLOSIVE TECHNIQUE: Bring dynamics into your dance with the concept of Reverb, a quick and exciting directional change that brings so much more to your technique. This technique will have you moving like molasses and flowing like water, with sharp punctuating pops. These techniques use bellydance pathways you already know, and help create drama and unique stylization. All levels, with some fundamental exploration, and some more intermediate concepts later in class. Location: Kihei Dance Connection.

Workshop with Zoe Jakes: Fire in the Belly
Host: Zoe Jakes
Info: FIRE IN THE BELLY: A choreography wrapped in undulations, spirals, and diagonal extension. A choreography to wake up the spine. Undulations, flutters, and diagonal extensions all with the purpose of making transitions disappear. Fluid and sleek lines mix with the circular and infinite shapes of belly dance, with dynamic splashes along the way. Using breath and the negative space around us, we will be chasing movement through the entire body and back again. The technique behind Zoe's style of undulations and interior circles will be broken down for this workshop, as well as a vigorous warm-up to prepare for full-body expansive movement. Location: Kihei Dance Connection.
