Your line is your physical signature, from the tips of
your toes to your fingertips, from the curve of your ankle to the line of your
neck. Refine your technique and embed good habits in your practice using such
techniques as epaulement, the coordination of head, shoulders and arms. Drawn
from Rosa’s classical ballet training, this methodology will teach you
specialized techniques, concepts and drills to help you project from stage to
the farthest reaches of the audience. Rosa will teach you to create
aesthetically and physically pleasing lines in dance that are right for *your*
body.
Sophia Ravenna: Fan Veil Secrets (Saturday 3:30 pm – 5:30
pm)
Fan veils are a beautiful, lyrical prop. Come learn how
to make the silk flow, flutter, and fly as you dance. We’ll start with the basics,
discuss double and single fan veil technique, learn some simple combinations,
and explore how to improvise over music of various styles and tempos.
Appropriate for all styles of belly dance and burlesque (we can discuss how to
tease and reveal with a fan veil, too!). Please bring a matched pair of fan
veils (right and left) and your burning questions. Some dance experience
recommended. Need to purchase a set of fan veils?

Rosa Noreen: Visionary Variations (Sunday 10 am-12 pm)
The most memorable moments in a performance are often the
simplest. Learn to harness your energy and stand out from the crowd. We will
explore Rosa’s signature methods of turning simple movements into arresting
moments by exploring the intersection of your focus, tempo, technique and
relationship to the music. These techniques can make your improvisation more
dynamic. They can help you get past choreographic writer’s block. And they are
great tools for teachers!
