I am teaching a Floorwork workshop with Jesse on Sunday the 20th September as part of FireWater’s Tribal Day of Workshops. Suitable for dancers interested in both ATS and/or Fusion, this workshop explores anatomy, technique and application of Floorwork in a safe and friendly environment. Learn to showcase strength and grace whilst adding drama to your dance. Please note: this is the only Floorwork workshop we plan on teaching in London this year so book your place fast so you don't miss out!

Where: The Factory, Hornsey Road, London
Times: 10:30am - 12:00pm
Price: £15 per workshop or £50 for the day (a bargain for 6 full hours of dancing!)

For those of you interested in exploring other forms of Tribal, this is one of 4 workshops being organised by FireWater that day. Workshops range from pure American Tribal Style Belly Dance to Flamenco Fusion and sassy Tribal Fusion, offering you the opportunity to experience a diverse range of styles and topics with really great teachers.
