Dazzling, Effortless, Spins & Turns for Soloists
Working with internalized techniques based on Sufi whirling practices, we will learn how to navigate our body's internal balance and forces of momentum along with personalized footwork and body posture. Starting, stopping, body placement, body awareness, dynamic tempo changes and giving one's self over to the pure joy of freedom of spins and turns will all be addressed. Adding Veils for the latter half of the class will include understanding basic principles of momentum, veil material, "going with the flow," and working with the veil rather than working the veil. It's recommended that students wear ballet or some other soft slipper or socks due to repeated turns. *Silk* veils are recommended, but I'll have a few extra for loaners and sale just in case. Intermediate dance levels requested.
