In the "Wave Explosion" instructional program, you will explore the
Liquid Fusion style, seamlessly blending bellydance and hip-hop with a
special emphasis on waving. "Wave Explosion" is a continuous flow of
dance combinations and drills designed to commit new techniques to your
muscle memory and improve your strength and muscle control.
The program is created by Anasma, the innovative New York and
Paris-based dance artist and instructor who developed the Liquid Fusion
style. Liquid Fusion builds on the similarities of bellydance and
hip-hop isolations and techniques, and explores the unique flow, as
well as the aesthetical contrasts and tensions generated by blending
these two popular dance styles.
Whether your first love is bellydance or hip-hop, Anasma invites you to
expand your dance vocabulary and enrich your style through
bellydance-hip-hop fusion.
If you study and perform Tribal Fusion bellydance, you know that Tribal
Fusion borrows extensively from hip-hop techniques such as waving,
popping and hip-hop footwork. The "Wave Explosion" program will give
you more ideas for finding and enriching your own style within Tribal
Fusion.
If you are a popper, from a beginner to an advanced dancer, you will
benefit greatly from the knowledge of hip and torso isolations used in
bellydance. Adding these fusion elements to your dance will propel you
ahead both technically and in terms of developing your own signature
moves.
The Drills and Dance Flow section of Anasma's program (120 min.)
consists of non-stop drills gradually building sequences of bellydance
and hip-hop moves into smooth combinations where both dance styles are
fully integrated. The combinations fall into a choreography
demonstrating the full aesthetic potential of the Liquid Fusion style.
The in-depth Tutorial Section (100 min.) is co-taught by Anasma and
Future, a trend-setting New York City hip-hop instructor. Future
teaches the philosophy, concepts, and techniques of hip-hop waving,
while Anasma demonstrates combinations bringing together elements of
hip-hop waving and bellydance. Interpreting movement from the
perspective of waving, Anasma combines Bellydance isolations and shapes
(such as circles, figure-eights, and twists) with other movement styles
within the hip-hop genre of Popping: Popping, Dime-Stopping, Locking,
and Tutting.
The performance section features Liquid Fusion style choreography and
improvisation by Anasma, and hip-hop freestyling by Future and Megatron.
