WORKSHOP TOPIC
F I R E I N T H E B E L L Y CHOREOGRAPHY
A choreography wrapped in undulations, spirals, and diagonal extension. A choreography to wake up the spine. Undulations, flutters, and diagonal extensions all with the purpose of making transitions disappear. Fluid and sleek lines mix with the circular and infinite shapes of belly dance, with dynamic splashes along the way. Using breath and the negative space around us, we will
be chasing movement through the entire body and back again. The technique behind Zoe's style of undulations and interior circles will be broken down for this workshop, as well as a vigorous warm-up to prepare for full-body expansive movement.
