Registration starts March 1st!
Katya will be teaching four one hour workshops:
1. Sizzle & Shine (All Levels) - The do’s & don’ts of an authentic performance using various techniques & patterns to Arabic music.
This class will help the dancer to take the toolbox of technique and choreographic patterns they have acquired and apply it to Arabic music so as to create a show for performance; the do’s and don’t of authentic performance.
2. Stylistic Breakdown (All Levels) - The difference between Egyptian, Lebanese and Turkish music and dance styles.
This class will teach the dancer how to recognize the differences in each of these styles so as to know how to apply the appropriate movement, costume and affectation to their dance.
3. Put It All Together (All Levels) - Interplay with your audience to make your performance ‘Pop’.
The difference between an amateur and a professional dancer is the emotional impact she has on her audience. Learning how to use the interplay between dancer and audience is an acquired skill, and the class will take turns performing and evaluating each other to learn what works and what doesn’t work. This is a movement and discussion class.
4. Stage Dynamics (All Levels) - Break out of your shell and explore your space thru music.
This class will teach the dancer how to break out of her shell and explore the space around her according to musical interpretation.
