I began dance classes at age 6... non stoping since and traveling from different dance forms.
At age 18 I started bellydancing, with many instructors including Sara Santana, Kami Liddle, Carolena Nericcio, Zoe Jakes, Elizabeth Strong, Reetu Patel, Dilek, among others. I had my ATS certification by FCBD director Carolena in Aug. 2009. I am director of Alzubra Bellydance, only dance studio in town dedicated 100% to bellydance, with training formats created by me like Body Conditioning Bellydance Oriented, speacialty classes, among others.
We perform at private events, teach private lessons, etc.
Training Schedule:
"Dance Fitness and Body Conditioning Bellydance Oriented"- This class will focus on posture, balance, body centre, basic isolated moves (hips, torso, head), arms and drills for preparing the body for bellydancing, to get the physical conditioning, and body posture that will improve your dancing but also will help you to avoid injure. Most moves are bellydance oriented, BUT NOT specialized in any style or technique, only basics; classical ballet will be strongly taught, used and applied at this class. A great class to get in shape, very energetic it'll make you sweat, but it'll also help you to gain a feminine soft and sassy body movement. Personal attention and advice is given, as well as full descriptions of the mechanics of movements.
"Fusion Bellydance Initiation"- This class is for people with bellydance experience, it is also the following class after "Dance Fitness & Body Conditioning BD Oriented". This class will focus on stretching, isolations (lots of them), pops, locks, and very fluid movements (fast & slow). Knowledge and comprehension of posture, balance, body centre, & collocation are required. Very fast class, lots of drills. Classical ballet may be used from time to time, and some ATS basics steps may be taught too. ATS is the main source, and course of the class, but it has the influence of other dance forms. Personal attention and advice is given, as well as full descriptions of the mechanics of movements, but this class would be faster than "Dance Fitness & Body Conditioning BD Oriented". NOT recommended for begginers because some concepts are taken as KNOWN. The instructor has the right to ask attendees to change to begginers class, for their own good. Very stylized dance.
