Salimpour Style Layering and drills (with Zills!)
Instructor: Elianae Stone
Cost: $40
Elianae loves the layering and drilling style of the Salimpour format, and is delighted to share her knowledge and experience with you!
This workshop will be structured based on the Suhaila Salimpour format and class composition including warm-up, technique, vocabulary, and nomenclature. Zills will be used. Please bring water, a yoga mat (optional), and be ready to move and try new fun challenges such as glute squeezes, layering footwork, hips, chest, AND cymbals at the same time! Her format makes you a stronger dancer, better at isolations, no matter what your style of dance!
Elianae is level 1 and 2 certified in the Salimpour Technique and method of bellydance.

Andante to Allegro- exploring Fusion dance
Instructor: Bez Ann
Cost: $30
In this workshop we will explore movements in the fusion dance format and how they can be used to articulate different rhythms. Focusing on isolation and musicality, class will begin with beginner friendly combinations that will be built upon throughout the workshop. The first hour will focus on slower, more fluid movements (Andante) and the last hour will focus on higher energy, quick movements (Allegro) .
This workshop is All Level. Technique will start at beginner level with intermediate additions.
Wear comfortable clothing, bring water, And zills! (zill patterns will be giving for those willing to try!)
