10am-noon Pops Locks Ticks and Tocks
Technical Tricks to Mechanize Your Movement
In this workshop, Asharah will lead students through an intense warm up and then will show students how to break down traditional bellydance movements such as vertical hip figure-8s, shoulder rolls, torso undulations, turns and arm waves into smaller and sharper parts to give your performances a robotic and creepy edge.

12-1 Lunch and Shopping

1-3 Dance Mecanique
Integrating Elegant and Technical Movement
This workshop will help you refine your technique and add elegance to your bellydance movement. While sharp pops and locks are essntial part of the tribal dancer's repetoire, grace and polish are equally, if not more, important for conveying expression and feeling from the stage to the audience.
