Belly Dance - Combos and Musicality

For the beginner to intermediate level belly dancer, this class will teach technique in the context of movement combinations set to different styles and moods of music. Discover how belly dance and music are inseparable!"

   

Belly Dance Beginners 1

Laura teaches the Arabesque method. "Beginner I is where the fun starts and the student will learn actual steps. Almost all of the quintessential Bellydance steps are taught in this level. These are the movements from which later on, one will be able to draw from, and with which, one will be able to layer and elaborate. Getting all of these steps is important but more important still is remembering the basic principles learned in Foundation level and how they apply to each of these Beginner I steps. When the student sees the connection of these principles to all of the movement and can execute these, then she or he is ready to move on to the next challenge. Another important factor to take into consideration is the fact that each movement has a corresponding arm position. This arm movement is just as essential to the accomplishment of the step." Description as found on arabesquedance.ca.

   

Belly Dance Beginners 2

Laura teaches the Arabesque method. Beginner II is where the foundation of Egyptian technique is introduced. There is a greater awareness of how amazing the abdominal muscles can be and how mastery over them can change the look and integrity of all previously learned steps by the student. A new grouping of steps is introduced at this level, but what must be mastered before moving on is the vertical drop technique and how it can be applied to many movements. By learning even more steps with slightly more difficulty and discovering a deeper understanding of what abdominal muscles are capable of, the student should now be able to really execute every movement including shimmies with ease and fluidity. If the student is having difficulty with any of the Beginner steps, the student should not continue to Intermediate. Things to look out for are the vertical drop, maya, basic shimmies and 3/4 shimmy technique. Completion of Beginner 1 or prior experience required. Description as found on arabesquedance.ca.

Salsa On2 is a variation of salsa popularized in New York city (hence also called "New York" style), which was heavily influenced by jazz and mambo in the 1960s. In this smoother, more elegant dance that more closely emulates ballroom dancing, you will learn how to look effortless as you and your partner flow across the dance floor. In Salsa On2, dancing begins on the second beat, with the leader breaking back on beat 2. You will learn to recognize the conga drum beat that signals the On 2 timing, and learn how to transfer your salsa On 1 skills to Salsa On 2. New turn patterns and styling included. Completion of level 3 or assessment required.

   

Salsa Open Shines

For intermediate level dancers (those who have completed level 2), this new open shines course teaches students to salsa dance without a partner. Each week students are taught a short shines (footwork) sequence that can be used on the dancefloor when separated from your partner. This class will challenge your coordination, speed and weight transfer. Body movement and rhythm and musicality will also be covered.

   

Salsa Styling and Choreography Building

This 4 week condensed course with two hours per class is designed to teach students different movements to complement their dances. In-depth analysis of head, rib cage, hips, arm and leg movements will be practiced and incorporated to salsa, both in turn patterns and shine combination. Foundational salsa partnering will be taught. Students will have the opportunity to create variations of these foundational moves and learn ways to create their own shine/turn patterns. Students will be paired to create their own 45 seconds choreography based on the elements learnt. Completion of level 2 or assessment required.

   

Salsa Technique Building

This program is designed to sharpen dance technique to take your social dancing to the next level.

Each element will be discussed and practiced in great details and will be incorporated in higher-difficulty turn patterns. This condensed course is four weeks long with each class two hours in length. Completion of level 2 or assessment required.
