POPS, LOCKS AND TICK TOCKS

Taught by the stunningly captivating Asharah, this class focuses on understanding the mechanics of pops, locks and tick tocks and how to incorporate them into your dance. In this workshop, you will learn the about the many cultural origins of this type of movement such as the poppin' and lockin' B-Boys of the 70s and 80s as well as the nuances of experimental electronic music. 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, interior hip circles, torso undulations, and arm waves into smaller and sharper parts to give your performances a robotic and creepy edge. After drilling these movements, she'll teach a short combination that demonstrates how these movements can be used in a performance.
