April 18 & 19 - Zafira Workshops
Zafira Dance Company¿s performances are opulent vignettes that combine Bellydance with contemporary and ethnic dance forms. The result is an ornate performance that blurs the boundary between old and new; performer and audience, earthy and elegant.. Guided by the mood of the music, Zafira draws the viewer into each piece by shaping rhythm and melody into gesture and form. Liquid movements, staccato accents and textured choreographies capture a timeless beauty that expresses both the sensuality and strength of the female form.
*Cabaret Macabre: Saturday, April 18th - 12:00-2:00pm
Boring dance routines got you down? Are you looking for something to resuscitate your creativity? Well, let Zafira help you breathe life into your dance practice. Drama, musicality and technique are addressed in this workshop. First, we will build several tribal fusion combinations that incorporate contemporary dance with bellydance torso work- focusing on technique and alignment. Then, we will use these combos to experiment with musicality, emotion, and nuanced gestures in order to bring these young Frankensteins to life.
*COMBO-Nation!: Saturday, April 18th - 2:30-4:30pm
You Love ¿em. We Love ¿em. Dance Combinations are a great way to pack in technique and signature stylizations in a short workshop timeframe. COMBO-nation will cover tried and true Zafira classic combos that they've used in some of their most popular performances, as well as new and "in the works" combos that'll push you both physically and creatively. Bring your note pad & yoga mat fora brief warm up.
*Shimmy-TASTIC!: Sunday, April 19th - 12:00-2:00pm
Take your shimmies to the next level! In this workshop we will cover the classic 3/4 shimmy, with walking, layering exercises and drills. We will cover 4/4 shimmies as well, to better understand and get better control of our hips. We will also play with varying shimmies from old to new school styles. To finish off our workshop we'll cover some unique combos utilizing what we learned, Zafira style!
*Supah' Saucy: Sunday, April 19th - 2:30-4:30pm
Kicks, spins, long extensions and locks are the signature of Zafira¿s current repertoire. This workshop presents some fancy footwork and spins within several dance combinations. Couple these saucy moves with evocative music and emotion, and you are at the core of Zafira¿s ¿steal-your-heart¿ style of bellydance.
*Be sure to bring water, a light snack, yoga mat or towel, and a few extra dollars to spend in the Souk (vendors will only be available on Saturday!).
