WORKSHOPS
#1 Saturday, Seminar June 15, 2013, 11:30-1:30pm Ava’s Orientale with a POW! From classical music where emotion is key, to pop music where fun hits overdrive these combinations have signature Ava written all over them. Integrating stage dynamics with belly dance these combinations range from funky fun to classically elegant. Dance your entire body (and yes, that includes your arms and head!) to raq the music for complete and full expression instead of just practicing steps. Leave this workshop invigorated and energized with renewed inspiration for the art of Orientale Dancing.
#2 Saturday, June 15, 2013, 2:00-4:00pm Sensuous, Sinuous and Sophisticated this workshop merges several combinations infused with changes in timing, tension, center of gravity, directionality and more, into a single taksim. You can choose to use the combinations as a stand-alone or string them together in any order to customize your taksim.
#3 Sunday June 16, 2013, 11:30-1:30pm Tribal/Rae Are you stumped, doing the same ole’ same old or feeling like a broken record when you dance? Explore something new without breaking your brain or style, TribalRae. TribalRae is where Ava takes you on a journey where the destination is you. Briefly explore what makes each style (ATS, Tribal Fusion and Orientale), its own unique expression. This workshop culminates in learning combinations that blend these differing aspects into seamless movement, creating a more complex and layered expression of you.
#4 Sunday, June 16, 2013 2:00-4:00pm. Drum Solo Combinations. Expect the unexpected with pops, locks, spins and smooth surprises! With these prepackaged combinations you will dance a variety of accents that will keep your audience on the edge of their seat. We will also morph these combinations to different drum solos so you can take them home and dance them to your favorite songs!
