“I’m Spinning Around” - Turns and Spins Workshop with Kristina

 

One of the most effective and dramatic movements in belly dance is the ‘turn’, ’pivot’ or ‘pirouette’ no matter what name you give it, it has the ability to send some dancers into a dizzy tiz! In this 2 hour workshop Kristina will lead you through turns, spins and pirouettes covering everything from that dreaded ‘spotting’ technique to weight transfer, posture, pivots, pirouettes, piques, spinning series and her signature open arabesque turn. Kristina started her dance teaching career over 14 years ago as a ballet instructor and has taught turning techniques to hundreds of dancers in that time. You’ll cover at least 20 turns and learn turning combinations that will set you spinning with confidence! 
Warning: Not for the faint-hearted or severely balance impaired this is an Intermediate—Professional level workshop.

 

Improvisation Workshop with Kristina

 

This 2 hour workshop is designed to give the dancer practical skills that can be applied to their improvisational dance. Participants will get in touch with the way their body naturally expresses itself through movement. The exercises encompassed in this workshop will help participants overcome the mental aspect of improvisation, create a deep connection between mind, body and spirit, become aware of the body's abilities and limitations and find the natural way in which they can express themselves through music. Participants will gain confidence in their bodies, their movement and in their interpretation of the music. This workshop is beneficial for all forms of middle eastern dance and performance.
