February 13th: Danse Mécanique in Columbia, SC

February’s monthly workshop is all about grace, flow, and elegance.  While clean and sharp technique is an essential part of the tribal dancer’s repertoire, grace and polish are equally, if not more important for conveying expression and feeling from the stage to the audience. Asharah will lead students through an intense warm-up that will prepare the body for fluid arm-work, well-defined isolations, and dramatic extension. We will drill smooth bellydance movements (such as arm waves, interior hip circles, and undulations) and hard contraction movements (such as chest locks and hip work in various directions). Asharah will also lead students through foot and hand exercises to help participants gain a greater sense of poise and grace.

Workshops will be held from 2:00pm-5:00pm at the Center for Dance Education, ground floor of Lexington’s Old Mill, 711 E. Main Street, Lexington, SC.
