 Dancing in support of Capitol Rainbow Refuge.
I had so much fun!
What kind of a dancer do YOU want to be? Specializing in Middle Eastern and fusion dances, I use music and movement to help explore who we are as dancers. Aaliyah has a background in Middle Eastern, modern, ballet, jazz, Latin and African dances. |
At Aaliyah Dance we develop deep core muscles and strengthen the body all while learning fluid and challenging movements and performance skills. Exploration of music, emotion and movement is our goal. This year we will use the music and dances of various cultures, modern and traditional, while incorporating the skills and movement learned through the culture, and music of the Maghreb (Northern Africa including Egypt), the Levant and the Persian Gulf. Anyone can enjoy the fluid movements and deep expression of Middle Eastern dance.
In some classes we will learn the roots of belly dance properly called Raks al Sharki. Gain a strong technical foundation in foot work, isolations, and props. Proper technique, choreography and use of props is the foundation of our training while encouraging self-expression in the developing dancer. Without heart there is no dance.
For those interested, we also cover the stage craft of appropriate costuming, expression, music selection and communicating with your audience. Performances are strictly voluntary and at instructor's discretion.
