Rakadu Gypsy director Teresa Tomb will be teaching at Kira's Oasis in Dayton, Ohio this month! Check it out:

Date: Saturday, November 15th, 2008: 4 Hour...ish workshop (sometimes we run a little bit over)
Time: 12:00 – 4:00 pm with a brief break (bring a snack)
Cost: $35 per person, in advance or at the door
Content: “Spirited Away" Bringing Compassion, Devotion and Soul to your dance practice. Indian Hand Gestures (Mudras), Great Combos for Duets, & Soulful Fosse Inspired Belly Dance Choreography.

In this workshop the dancer will explore 3 varied avenues for putting the soul into her dance. Starting in the ancient and classic, the dancers will warm up with delicate and meditative Indian hand mudras. The dancer will also focus on techniques for creating beautiful language in the wrist and finger tips. Building on this, we will explore a few dance combinations of movements that highlight the seamless grace and interrelationship between 2 dancers onstage. These combinations will focus on body line and floor patterns that draw the dancers together with movements that weave the duet across the floor. Finishing the workshop will be a short, hot belly dance choreography inspired by the body lines and steps of Bob Fosse, (master broadway director and choreographer).

This is a well rounded workshop that seeks to draw from a variety of emotions and moods to enhance any dancer's performance and dance practice.

There's more going on at Kira's this same weekend too! A burlesque show and workshop are sure to please you! Check it out on the website: www.kirasoasis.com Information and registration available at the click of your mouse!
