A dancer's sword is a symbol of strength and grace that can turn a move into magic. It is a dance partner and an extension of your artistry, used to highlight your isolations, accentuate the lines of your body, and trace mesmerizing patterns in the air. Instructor Angie Never will help you explore the possibilities, using improvisational and modern fusion bellydance as our primary movement vocabulary. We'll practice balancing, leveling, turning, and more to give you the skillset you need to show off both the sword and your own personal power. Please bring your own balanced bellydance sword with a non-battle ready edge. You are most likely to succeed in this class if you have one year of dance experience and one year of training in improvisational group bellydance, such as Fat Chance Belly Dance style.
