Building Choreography Skills (All levels)
In this informative workshop, Cathryn will run through a range of exercises
designed to help participants develop and realise their choreographic skills. These skills can also be used for improvisation.
This is a three hour workshop with a fifteen minute break in the middle (1 1/2 hours tuition either side of break).

Backbends, Balance and Arabesques (All levels)
Backbends are an integral part of belly dance, yet often neglected because of safety concerns. The variation each of us can do safely depends on our
core abdominal and back strength, and back flexibility.
Cathryn will lead the class safely through exercises to build core strength and gentle back stretches.
Balance exercises that build core strength take us into arabesques.

Wear leggings and bring a towel or mat.
There are notes provided, outlining backbend safety.

And those sticky questions - to pad or not to pad?
And if yes, then where exactly for the best cleavage?
Bring scissors, pins, bra, base material to cover your bra (pref stretchy) and any items you want to
embellish it with (beaded scarf, belt, tribal pendant, fringing etc).
If you're not sure what you want to cover your bra with, you'll pick up plenty of ideas. Suitable for all dance styles.

leaving confused, but to thoroughly practice a couple of rhythms so that students
will develop a sound knowledge of what has been covered.
Content will be flexible so as to suitably meet students' needs.
Notes provided.
