CLASS ETIQUETTE

  1. Please be ready to commence class at the appointed time. If you are late it is your responsibility to ensure you are adequately warmed up and join the class without causing too much distraction. Likewise if you need to leave early please advise your instructor & leave without distraction to the rest of the class. Ensure you allow adequate time before leaving to self-stretch and cool down to prevent cramps and potential injury.

  2. IMPORTANT - Please advise your instructor if you have an injury at the beginning of each class. This is for her information only, it is ultimately your responsibility to care for your body and operate within your own capabilities. If you are injured or otherwise physically limited and it affects your ability to perform certain movements please advise the instructor, we can perhaps offer an alternate method of performing the movement and therefore avoid further injury from forcing your body to do something it cannot or is as yet unable to do.

  3. Please turn PDAs/Mobile phones off or onto silent for the class duration. If you require otherwise please advise your Instructor before class.

  4. Questions are encouraged, we are not mind readers & it is the only way to check your understanding if you are unsure of something! :o)

  5. Well behaved children are permitted to observe provided they are able to keep themselves amused. If they cause too many interruptions you and they may be asked to leave.

Class and Workshop Styles

NEOTRIBAL FUSION BELLYDANCE

This style is an ever evolving blend of Tribal Style Bellydance with other dance forms and strong theatrical stylings. Other dance influences include Gypsy, Tango, Hip Hop, Jazz and Bollywood fused with artistic expressions including Gothic, Art Deco/Nouveau and the style also draws on Burlesque and other theatrical techniques. This style is particularly designed for those wishing to enhance dance discipline, explore choreography and develop their own unique dance expression.

Who is it for?
Level 1 is a technique class suitable for absolute beginners/advanced dancers.

Level 2 is best suited for experienced dancers only and participants are required to also do the Level 1 class.

What you will learn:

LEVEL 1 CLASSES : Technique & Basic Combo’s (Beginners to Advanced).

Introducing technique & basic combo’s for absolute beginners as well as providing more advanced dancers with essential technique revision and discipline. You will learn and spend time mastering individual moves while concentrating on developing the posture, muscle memory & attitude of Tribal Fusion. Piecing together several moves in short combinations to introduce you to learning choreography and/or enhance your choreographic knowledge.

LEVEL 2 CLASSES* : Drills & Choreo (Intermediate to Advanced).

Building on Level 1 knowledge you will be taking your dance to a whole new level by drilling moves repetitively to increase your muscle strength & stamina – this will make you sweat! We will also combine several moves to create more complex combination movements and include them in sassy choreographies that will also develop theatrical & artistic presentation.
*Must also enrol in Level 1 NeoTribal Fusion class.    

What to wear:
You can wear any type of clothing that you have freedom of movement in and is preferably somewhat formfitting including leotards, tights, sport tops,midriff tops, any form fitting top, track pants, yoga pants, pantaloons (harem pants) ....Please note that Full skirts are NOT worn for this style of dance. Please do NOT wear very baggy Tshirts or skirts as I must be able to see your posture & legs. You are welcome to bring a coined or fringe belt/scarf to tie around your hips.

MODERN GYPSY

Modern Gypsy is a blend of Spanish Gypsy and Romani Gypsy dance forms infused with a contemporary flavour.
This innovative new style is mélange of the most powerfully evocative and celebratory dance forms from the centre of the orient.

Who is it for:
This class is mixed-level and is open to both beginning and continuing/ intermediate students.

What to wear:
The positioning of your arms and general posture need to be visible so something form-fitting on the upper body is ideal.
A skirt on the bottom (the bigger the better).
