PRINCESS FARHANA’S GREATEST HIPS:
RAQQIN’ COMBINATIONS HOLLYWOOD STYLE
Friday, June 24 7:30 - 9:30pm
@ MindBody Studio,
311 Rivermont Ave. Lynchburg, VA
These sizzling combinations will enhance any type of belly dance performance, and can be used in improv or choreographed situations. These combinations might look complicated, but are broken down into clear, easy-to-follow segments. We will run the gamut from stationary “gooey” taxim combo’s to cute traveling steps, entrances and exits, series of turns, level changes and sassy beledy moves complete with footwork, hand and arm embellishments and use of space. We will also explore adding shimmy layers and spicing the moves up with level, speed and directional changes.
This class is open to all levels.
