Class Description:
Experience the fun and freedom of West African dance contrasted with the beauty of crisp belly dance isolation. Our goal is to fuse these two different dance forms seamlessly to industrial beats, adding healthy doses of hip hop, bhangra, modern, and theater! Our performance piece will weave together a powerful story that is fun, fast and refreshingly furious! Master the exciting and explosive movements of West African dance by drilling digestible steps. Learn theatrical expression, projection for stage and discover your own artistic dance voice. Students will find inner strength to shine and roar! Bring water and a sense of adventure (90 minute class).

Prerequisite - 1 year of previous belly dance experience minimum - 18 months prior belly dance experience recommended.
