Let’s pretend that 10 dancers are performing the
same simple choreography. Even though everyone is doing the
same movements, chances are that some would be more magnetic than
others. And a few would have that special spark that makes
their movements absolutely riveting. That spark - is the topic of
this DVD.
With the multi award
winning Alimah - we will explore that certain something that pushes
a performance beyond just a pretty dance, and into the realm of
being an emotional feast.
Most
dancers simply study technique and do not explore ways to put emotion
behind their movements. Dancing with meaning will help tell a story,
and will compel an audience to emotionally react.
Alimah draws on her musical training to help you extract texture and nuance from the music and infuse it into your dancing.
We
begin with a healthy helping of tasty and inspiring concepts
designed to give your repertoire of movements that special boost. It
is followed by an extended flow section that focuses on creative
visualization. Then we move on to specific combinations that utilize
these unique concepts. Finally, the combinations are strung together
to make a dynamic choreography. Plus, there is over 20 minutes of
performance footage from the beautifully inspiring Alimah.
A
basic understanding of belly dance technique is assumed in this DVD, as
the focus is not how to break down the moves, but how to bring them to
life. Alimah encourages you to get carried away with your creative
inspiration by allowing the choreography to come out a little different
each time.
Learn to let go of your inhibition and to flow - wherever the music leads you.
