Description
Class 1 Belly Dance Fluid Accents Technique and Practice
Technique and practice for challenging lower and upper body belly dance accents based on fluid move trajectories. "Our first task today is to create accents working with fluid moves. I will teach you a couple ways to achieve this, but our bigger goal for today is just to start thinking of fluid moves as potential accents - this is something we don't do as beginners in dance, and learning and using this vocabulary is, in a way, a rite of passage for a bellydancer.
So, today we'll talk about 2 ways to create accents out of fluid moves.
First is creating accents by contrasting fluid unaccented slow moves with fluid moves performed as an accent - these fluid accents will be the same fluid move trajectories, but we'll perform them faster and in a more shallow way - small range of motion.
The second way is to take a full fluid move trajectory and turn just one section of it into an accent.
In other words, this technique is all about creating contrast. You see a lot of this type of moves in Egyptian Oriental Dance of the golden era, and also in modern Oriental Dance. "
Class 2 Oriental Dance / Belly Dance Taksim with Fluid Accents
Oriental Dance taksim practice combinations and mini-choreography using fluid-trajectory accents and shimmy layering. "Taksim showcases improvisational artistry of melodic instruments and often includes call and response mode with accents produced by melodic instruments. Your moves follow ebbs and flows of melody, and as for accents, rather than going with percussive hipwork, you may want to use fluid moves - circles, figure 8s and undulations as accents." Music: "Lessa Faker" by Beata and Horacio Cifuentes
