Workshop: Ooey Gooey Slow & Slinky & BahBlam Combos!

movement quality with a focus on full body integration, extension,
form, shape, expression, then we'll take it up a notch moving into
stylized combinations galore!

Who: ZAFIRA was voted Zaghareet Magazine's Troupe of the Year in 2007!
Zafira performs opulent vignettes that combine bellydance with
contemporary ethnic dance forms. Guided by the mood of the music,
Zafira draws the viewer into each piece by shaping rhythm and melody
into gesture and form. Liquid movements, staccato accents and textured
choreographies capture a timeless beauty that expresses both
sensuality and strength of the female form. www.zafiradance.com Taught
