………..Bellydance: From the Heartbeat to Breakbeats………..
Date/Time: Wednesdays 7-9 (includes 1/2 hour yoga/exercise at begin/end)
An ancient, ever-evolving dance, the bellydance unites women throughout time and space. Like the very women who dance, bellydance itself is mysterious and often misunderstood- it is both sensual and strong, both primal and sequined. Many manifestations of this ancient communion have developed around the world, each vividly painted by the culture in which the dancers live and move. One thing remains true throughout: dancing bellydance is even more of an extraordinarily wonderful experience than watching it! Bellydance unites the dancer with the divine complexities of music, muscles and self.

I have been bellydancing since 2000 and dancing to hiphop-funk-jazz-latin breakbeats since childhood and find that the movements and music of these two art forms are easily translated into each other: mama’s heartbeat is the original breakbeat! Inspired by both street dancers and tribal fusion bellydancers alike, I seek and explore the divine feminine within the raw human through uniquely modern organic dance moves.
