“Flower” – A Fusion Bellydance Choreography: Workshop Series

This is a series of workshops to teach an original Fusion Bellydance choreography by Malika, for the song “Flower” by Raaginder. (Video posted in Facebook event)

This is an Advanced Beginner Level choreography, so it won’t be quite as slow paced as my Foundations Beginner classes, but it is open to all level dancers. Complete beginners welcome!

The intention is to build on each workshop slowly so all students know this piece off by heart at the end.

The class will include breakdowns and drills of individual movements, patterns and the choreography at a pace that is easy to digest for all. This gives the more experienced dancers the chance to master this choreography and beginners the chance to learn the movements and the piece over the series (although home practice is highly recommended for all, especially if mastery is your goal).

Over the course of the series there will also be explanations and exercises on various techniques such as liquid movement and creating the slow motion effect, so each dancer has the chance to download the full expression of this piece into their body.

ABOUT MALIKA & FUSION BELLYDANCE

This contemporary expression of Bellydance is powerful, sensual and mesmerising. With slow snake-like movements and hypnotising hip rhythms, gateways to healing are opened through sacral activation and embodied presence.

Bellydance invites one in to the delicious realms of femininity & sensuality, enabling deeper attunement to the inner landscape and the language of the body. These movements can be a tool to one’s embodiment journey as the polarity between flow and discipline, feminine and masculine, play out in each dancer.

Having journeyed deep into the underworld of her own shadows, Malika’s movement experience expands beyond linear knowledge and the 10+ years she’s been bellydancing.

After decades living in a paralytic fear of being seen, overwhelming shame and total disconnection from the heart and body, Malika found her way onto a deep healing path which immediately became intricately entwined with her Bellydance journey.

Malika’s experience in trauma and mental health have inspired her gentle & compassionate facilitating style; and her devotion to personal evolution via presence & embodiment is woven throughout her Bellydance offerings. Malika utilizes her deep connection to music, rhythm & the energetics of sound to create a mindfully curated musical journey of neo-beats that is in synch with each of her unique expressions of the dance.
