WHAT: "Femme Fatale" is a serpentine and sensual cross-cultural fusion choreography workshop taught by Irina Akulenko. This is a serpentine and focused dance that will explore your range of motion, control over isolations, and allow you to feel more in tune with your body. We will be dancing to a relaxed-paced trance-like track, exploring our ability to express without really traveling off a small footprint. While this is an intermediate level choreography, dancers or all levels are welcome and will be offered simplified versions of the combinations.

WHO: Irina Akulenko is a New York City-based performer, teacher and choreographer with a burning passion for arts of all genres. Although she discovered Middle Eastern dance purely by chance, her interest in expression started at an early age and was channeled into ballet training, in addition to piano and voice lessons as well as drawing. Since 2001, Irina explored Egyptian Cabaret and American Tribal style belly dance, Flamenco and Classical Indian dances (focusing mainly on Odissi) and now enjoys fusing these styles as well as everything in between. Today, Irina performs on various New York stages and tours nationally and internationally as a soloist and as member of various stellar projects. She released three instructional DVDs with World Dance New York and has two instructional series of videos with the popular website “Howcast.com”. Furthermore, she holds a Bachelors degree in Political Science, and has a strong interest in women's issues and visual arts. www.DanceIrina.com
