Belly Dance Delight 443-834-3191 nina@cavtel.net |
We will learn a short, fast veil dance to a maqsoum beat. This is the veil song that Belly Dance Delight is performing at the troupe hafla April 20. Class is one and a half hours long, and the price is $20. Limited to 8 dancers. Preregister on this page:http://bellydance.meetup.com/284/calendar/7645643/ We will learn some steps and some advanced veil combinations. Includes interesting veil moves like veil 'juggling' and barrel turns. If you are a beginner you can expect to master some of the steps and fake your way through the rest; an experienced dancer can learn the choreography, but some of the moves may be a challenge. You will receive a copy of the choreography if you want it. Silk Veils are available for purchase or loan at the class. If you already have a rectangular silk veil, bring it along. This is a dance that my student troupe performs at Artscape and other events- if you would like to join BellyDance Delight, this would be a good start! You can practice this dance and others in my Monday night classes. |
