CONTEMPORIENTAL FOR BEGINNERS / RACHIDA

  • ZeoT Zürich Lagerstrasse 107 Zürich 8004 (map)
ContempOriental dance Zürich

A contemporary expression of oriental dance.

From different techniques like contemporary, jazz, classical or African dance we can give a new expression to our dance, how we interpret it, feel it, and we declare without neglecting the essence of oriental dance. A workshop designed to give new tools and new ways to enrich your movement, your dance and your expression. We will work the line and the curve, the contraction and the expansion, the sustained and the sudden time, to give more strength to our expression. The line offered by the jazz technique, impulses and games with the weight of the contemporary will help us to enrich our repertoire of movement. With diagonals, we will break the line of work to give the body a rest, and we will finish the workshop with a small choreography where all the assimilation will come together during the workshop.
