Melt into flow, with guided structure and opportunity for improv.all levels welcomeBrenna - Dancing with your Devil - Friday 1:30pmIn this workshop we’ll use The Devil Tarot Card as a creative lens to explore the subtle “chains” we carry into our dancing: habitual tension, over-control, avoidance, and unconscious performance patterns.Through guided exercises, improvisation, and short choreographic exploration, dancers will navigate where they become “stuck” in their movement and how awareness can transform those “limitations” into expressive power. We’ll work with themes of desire, presence, breath, focus, and stage magnetism to uncover a more intentional, grounded, and compelling performance quality.Please bring a notebook for notes and reflection, water, curiosity, and your sense of adventure.Kamrah - The Weighted Veil - Friday 3:25pmSilk like water: flowing, powerful, liquid, and stunning. Learn the basics of manipulating the weighted silk veil - flows, spins, holds, and tosses - to bring silk sensuality to your performances.Students will be provided with connections to purchase a weighted silk veil, or they can modify a silk veil of their own (heavy silk, 8mm, is best).Suitable for any student, whether they have used veils before or not.Irena Akulenko - The Ceremony - Sunday 10amThis workshop is a fusion belly dance journey through the living forces of Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. Dancers will explore grounded strength, fluid expression, passionate intensity, and expansive lightness through technique drills, guided improvisation exercises and combinations.Each element becomes both a physical quality and an emotional state — stability and resilience (Earth), surrender and intuition (Water), transformation and power (Fire), clarity and freedom (Air).The resulting series of combinations will be linked to create a beautiful moving meditation.Starry Moon - Triple Moon: The Power of Threes - Sunday 11:45amIn this workshop, Starry Moon Dance Company, Maria Hamer, Christine Andrews, and Joanna Abel, will break down the essential skills for powerful trio work.We’ll dive into formations, transitions, and shared musicality, while sharpening your spatial awareness, timing, and group connection. You’ll learn dynamic movement phrases and a choreography segment designed to showcase the beauty, precision, and magic of three dancers moving as one.No trio? No problem. Come solo, get grouped, and leave with new connections and serious trio skills.

Beyond her dancing training, her experience in Medieval reenacting and years of research, practice and performance, has lead her to develop a unique system of sword work, unlike any other. Due to the popularity of this approach and her love of dancing with a sword, she has created a sword training and certification program to help dancers who are inspired by her work, take their sword-wielding to the next level.Imagine an entire weekend of sword work! All swords, all of the time!! And every intensive weekend includes a Sea of Swords hafla! The only Bellydance show in the world (thus far) to feature ALL sword work! You won’t hear it here… “we already have a sword dancer”… we are ALL sword dancers! Each dancer has their own expression, a story to tell and a unique dance to share. We want to share in our sword sisterhood (and brotherhood) and celebrate your love of dancing with a sword!" } ] } ] ```
