Suadela Bellydance are proud to host Kami Liddle (USA) for her first time in Cork for a weekend of workshops and a theatre show!
Kami will teach 8 hours of workshops in Leeside Leisure, Patrick's Quay on the 9th & 10th November 2019
Razor-Sharp Slink: Technique and Combinations Class – 11am – 1pm, Saturday 9th November
Executing slow, controlled and sustained movement is something many of us aspire to yet can be so difficult to achieve. This workshop will begin with working on new lines and pathways moving at molasses slow speed with ultra clean technique. We will take our slink and combine it with a some pops, locks and contrasting movements that create striking combinations.
Fluidity in Motion, 2pm – 4pm, Saturday 9th November
The focus in this class is deepening one's connection to the floor and ability to move outside of their personal space. This workshop will focus on not only on foot patterns but will cover how to gain balance and grace while traveling across the floor. We will begin with a modern and ballet influenced warm-up to focus on proper alignment and move on to traveling foot patterns across the floor. Several complex foot patterns will be drilled and eventually building on top of them adding isolations and arm work.
Effortless Shimmies with Layers – 11am – 1pm, Sunday 10th November
This drill class is a great starting point for beginners and an excellent way to re-work shimmies for intermediate/advanced dancers. Class will begin with the foundation for traveling and move onto various types of shimmies and adding some creative layers. Each student can cater the class to work for them at whatever level they may be at.
Body Geometry – 2pm – 4pm, Sunday 10th November
Dance is all about creating shapes with the body. In this workshop we will focus on manipulating basic shapes with the body to order to create unique lines, angles and silhouettes. Considering spatial transformation, symmetrical vs. asymmetrical movement, time and dynamics, students will be given tools to use these concepts to create their own movements phrases.
