Holiday Calorie Burn: Bellydance Technique, Drills & Body Conditioning

Want to take your bellydancing to the next level and burn off all those extra calories due to holiday foods? Then come and join Andrea and Victoria for a 4 hour intensive bellydance workshop focusing specifically on technique, drills and body conditioning. Please bring a yoga mat if you have one. All attendees must have an understanding of basic bellydance movements. * Extended warm-up: heart pumping afro-fusion; yoga sun salutation and arm strengthening exercises. * Technique: Polishing basic and intermediate bellydance moves (including, but not limited to: hip lifts/drops, hip circles, shimmies, chest lifts/drops, chest circles, arm positioning etc.) * Drills: Once proper technique has been established, these movements will be drilled! Drilling is the best way to develop muscle memory and strength so that the movements become strong and fluid. * Conditioning: Bellydance requires a certain amount of core strength and stability. In the conditioning section we will focus particularly on ab work, but also introduce exercises to develop flexibility.
