Workshops
Rituals
In this workshop you will learn carefully selected routines designed to become your personal daily or weekly rituals.
Each Ritual includes exercises to prepare, cleanse and train the body as well as the mind, intricate combinations to improve fluidity and musicality, new arm patterns that will beautifully frame your dance and improve your coordination, as well as drilling and layering exercises exploring various speeds.
Karma Echoes
Valenteena will be introducing new Fusion Bellydance combinations created specifically for YOUR EVENT, which will be added to her Karma Echoes collection. These new combinations (or Echoes) can be used as a tool in choreography, improvisation (solo or in a group), or in any way you wish. Valenteena's Echoes form a vocabulary of combinations, each with its own name, count, and specific technique. The goal of Karma Echoes is to bring you new inspiration in your dance. Practicing and using these combinations over time will bring you clarity, fluidity, and a better sense of musicality in Fusion Bellydance! Ready to party?
Alchemy of motion
Transform your dance through the magical art of movement alchemy! In Movement Alchemy, we delve into the process of turning simple movements into something extraordinary, like a dance-based philosopher's stone. You'll explore how to "transmute" energy and quality in your dance, starting from raw, grounded movements, and transforming them into something ethereal, fiery, or fluid.
By layering contrasting textures and qualities, you will learn to create rich, multidimensional sequences that capture the essence of transformation. Discover how to bring your dance to life by mastering the subtle art of movement alchemy!
Olga Meos
Workshops
Act
Actions are one of those universal fundamentals that can help a dancer master her body to a greater degree, no matter what style she practices. These concepts are universal and understandable to a dancer of any level.
I will show you how you can work with action visuals, apply them and adapt them to your style. When you master these principles, your dance will become complete, vibrant and individual.
Seamless
This masterclass is about dancing with harmonious and "seamless" transitions between movements, as well as how to transfer body weight easily and naturally. This masterclass will give you the opportunity to develop your flexibility, coordination and technical skills, as well as enrich the aesthetics of your dance.
Body weight transfer is a basic element in dance and allows you to create dynamic and spectacular movements. We will learn how to correctly distribute body weight, make smooth and fluid transitions between different positions, and how to transfer weight from one leg to the other.
We will also work on musical expressiveness. We will explore the meaning of musicality in transitions between movements. You will learn to feel the rhythm and musical phrases, adapting your transitions to the prominent moments of the music.
Metaphors
Metaphor is a figurative expression, a hidden comparison based on the similarity of concepts or phenomena.
"Metaphor in Dance" is a unique class that focuses on the use of metaphorical concepts and images to express emotions and create a deep narrative in dance. In this class, dancers will explore the possibilities of dance as an artistic language capable of conveying abstract ideas and emotions through symbols and metaphors.
The Metaphor in Dance class is an exciting and inspiring experience that will help dancers discover their potential in creating deep and emotional dance narratives through the use of metaphorical language.
Performance project
6 hours to create a unique choreography for the festival with the teacher Olga Meos that will be presented in the show on Sunday. Costumes are not included.
