MORIA'S WORKSHOPS

PERFORMANCE PROJECT: CANDLE DANCE

FRIDAY JULY 28 3~Hour Workshop

Join Moria to perform a group candle dance.

Options are available to perform at level 1, 2, or 3 during the choreography. Previous experience in candle dance is not required.

Dancers will be sent videos in advance to learn the choreography prior to arriving at the workshop weekend in order to perform in the Saturday Night Gala Show!

Come learn the ancient and beautiful art of dancing with candles.

CANDLE DANCE focuses on essential arm patterns, wrist articulation, balancing points, and dance combinations that seamlessly allow dancers to move with flames (electric candles will be used in class).

Moria will demonstrate fundamental candle-dance combinations and teach innovative movement patterns to demystify how to best dance with candles.

She will also reference and teach essential candle-dance techniques from artistically rich cultures around the world including ancient Indian Temple Dance, Asian court dances, and performance pieces found throughout the Middle East and North Africa, as well as old European Folk Dance.

Dancers from ALL STYLES and ALL LEVELS are welcome.

MANDALA: LOWER BODY

SATURDAY JULY 29 3~Hour Workshop

MANDALA: LOWER BODY is a Muscular Belly Dance Technique workshop focused on hip articulation, muscular control, mandala shapes, drills, stretches, and a deep dive into the anatomy of the pelvic girdle, as well as all the shapes that flow through.

A brief PowerPoint presentation will accompany MANDALA: LOWER BODY to help guide the dancer through the body's anatomy and show how specific muscles create the mandala shapes relating to sacred geometry.

ALL dancers from ALL styles are welcome!

MANDALA: UPPER BODY

SUNDAY JULY 30 3~Hour Workshop

MANDALA: UPPER BODY builds on the previous day's workshop intensive.

Moria's Muscular Belly Dance Technique focuses on chest articulation, intercostal relaxation, breath control, scapula-based posture, spinal alignment, drills, and stretches.

A brief PowerPoint presentation will show the mandala shapes created using muscular-based movement.

Take a deep dive into the anatomy of the torso, open-heart breathing, and other expansive movements that are unique, therapeautic, and hypnotic.

Learn how these movements transfer directly and effectively to your audience to create a more kinetic and powerful performance.

ALL dancers from ALL styles are welcome!
