「Floor&Funk」
a celebration of tribal belly dance, focusing on
modern funk and flavors with sensuous floor work and
accents. we will begin with toning drills, then move
into choreography which bridges some of the rich root
traditions of dance including flamenco, Arabic, and
Persian with hits and locks of modern accents.

spirit does it come ?

investigation and discovery of where our personal
inspiration, or unique treasures of dance originate.
dancers are welcomed and encouraged to share their
found treasures. bring music if you wish, and yoga
