Let’s be bold, electric, and unapologetically expressive. In this high-energy fusion workshop, we blend the commanding presence of raqs sharqi, the attitude of urban street styles, and the grooves of retro funk to create movement that’s as powerful as it is joyful. Build precision, own your space, and unlock more of your range with fierce isolations and dynamic travel steps. This workshop will be high energy, prepare to sweat and have fun. Dance shoes recommended, but not required.SATURDAY:Ebony 9:00am-11:00am (2 hours 40$)All levels Drills and Technique clinicDrill basic undulations, accents and shimmies in this super sweaty drills class with an emphasis on isolating these movements while receiving individual feedback from Ebony. Kick it up a notch with layering exercises and traveling steps to inspire your own combos. Dance shoes recommended, but not required.11:15am-1:15pm Zoe Jakes (2 hours 40$)Fire in the Belly-a choreography wrapped in undulations, spirals and diagonal extensionA choreography to wake up the spine. Undulations, flutters, and diagonal extensions all with the purpose of making transitions disappear. Fluid and sleek lines mix with the circular and infinite shapes of belly dance, with dynamic splashes along the way. Using breath and the negative space around us, we will be chasing movement through the entire body and back again. The technique behind Zoe’s style of undulations and interior circles will be broken down for this workshop, as well as a vigorous warm-up to prepare for full-body expansive movement.1:30pm-3:30pm Pixie Fordtears (2 hours 40$)Shape the DayShapes will be the modality of our play. Yes, we all know how to do a chest circle and we will use the tools in our toolbox, but in this workshop, we will be thinking outside the box. Using creativity in our bodies, through a series of guided exercises and improvisational activities, you'll learn to transform basic movements into unique, dynamic patterns. We will experiment with angular, circular, and abstract shapes, integrating them into our dance and movement practice. Playing with some tutting, wacking and more. Come ready to play, explore, and discover new dimensions of your artistic potential.3:45pm-5:45pm Kami Liddle (2 hours 40$)TBASUNDAY:9:00am-11:00am Suhaila (2 hours 40$)Badass Suhaila DrillsGet ready to sweat, burn, and level up your dance with Suhaila’s signature badass drills! This workshop pushes you to the edge (in the best way) with layered movement combinations that build strength, stamina, precision, and musicality. We’ll break down challenging patterns, train endurance through repetition, and fire up your technique so you can dance with more power and control. Perfect for dancers who want to push past their comfort zone, embrace the challenge, and discover just how badass they can be.11:30am-1:30pm Ebony (2 hours 40$)Fluid Fusion to Evoke MysterySummon your Muse—not as a blaze of fire, but as a whisper in shadow. In this slower, introspective fusion workshop, we’ll explore the spellbinding power of stillness and subtlety. Drawing inspiration from the slinkier dance aesthetics sometimes seen in Ebony’s fusion style, we’ll experiment with gravity-defying illusions of time paused and reversed. Learn to create texture, tension, and mystery through controlled isolations, breath-driven transitions, and soft-yet-powerful intention. This is a journey into your quieter power—prepare to slow down, tune in, and move with feeling.2:00pm-4:00pm Elizabeth Khard (2 hours 40$)Body Synchronization:This workshop is designed for dancers who want to deepen their understanding of body part synchronization and use this knowledge to create a harmonious and captivating dance. If you're looking to improve your technique and learn to control every movement, this workshop is the perfect opportunity for you!--------------------------------------------------------------SUNDAY OPEN STAGE:All dancers are required to sign up for `1 workshop to be a part of the open stage performances.
