November Workshop and Show with Phoenix in Colorado Springs

Presented by Zalzali

November 21st

Dance & Zill with a New Perspective Workshop - A Workshop for all styles and levels of bellydance

Workshop from 230pm - 445pm

The workshop will work with two rhythms. The workshop will focus on creating the rhythm in your body, dance combinations and various zill patterns.

This is a workshop for all styles and levels. Phoenix will include cabaret and tribal fusion ideas in the combinations along with encouraging each perform to come up with their own ideas. For beginners, this will help in understanding what you are doing with the music in terms of zills and movement. For more advanced dancers, this will help to expand your zill patterns and come up with new ideas on accenting the music.

Phoenix approaches the zills from a different dancer to help those that struggle with zills and expand ideas for more experienced zill players. Phoenix combines the drummer & dancer perspective when teaching zills. This allows the dancer to understand the music rather than memorize the pattern. Learn new combos and utilize your own style/moves while gaining more confidence in with zills.

Phoenix will share a number of combinations incorporating various styles including Egyptian, Turkish, and Tribal Fusion. Phoenix will go over the technique of each movement in the combinations and introduce ideas to add your own flair. Along with the combinations, learn to work with music and engage your audience using zills, emotion and drama. The combinations will include slow-slinky, fast-energetic and drum accents for a variety of ideas. Join Phoenix to shimmy, slink, slither and shake up new combinations for your routines and improvisational dance.

Note on zills: Zills are not required for the workshop but an option to add an additional dimension to the combinations and a challenge for more advanced dancers. Phoenix will not be teaching zills in the workshop but will discuss how to use them and give a quick overview. The patterns used will be triplets, alternates, 3-3-7 and drum accents. There will be a short discussion on the use of the zills to accent your body movement.
What to Bring:: zills (if you have them), water, comfortable clothing and your own flair!

Phoenix Bio (www.phoenix-dancing.com)
Initially drawn to the dance out of curiosity, Phoenix began belly dancing in 1997. Phoenix fell in love with the open expression and creativity that belly dancing offers. After studying with various teachers, Phoenix began teaching in 2002. Along with performing and teaching, Phoenix released the "Isis Wings with Phoenix" instructional DVD in 2008. Phoenix considers herself to be a lifelong student of dancing.
Phoenix’s background is diverse with focus on Egyptian Cabaret, Turkish, Khaliji, and Tribal Fusion. Phoenix enjoys sharing the beauty in the art form of dance by teaching, performing and sponsoring events. As a teacher, Phoenix works with each student to develop strength in movement, technique and create their own style. While Phoenix loves traditional belly dance, she enjoys moving out of the traditional realm and taking the dance down a different track. Phoenix approaches belly dancing from a spiritual and artistic direction. Her performances are most often improvisational and always from the heart.
Join Phoenix as she hopes to awaken the goddess within us all.
