Whether you are a beginner or more advanced the "Fundamentals of Turning Techniques" will be a great class to learn or improve upon what you already know. Jasmine will break down spot turns, paddle turns, chainee turns, piques, pirouettes, turns across the floor, etc. You will learn to incorporate turning technique with belly dancing movements to give your dancing that extra pizzazz. Half turns, ¾ turns and full turns to increase your flexibility of movement. Learn to build stamina for turns.
This class will be about technique (not designed to teach the whirling dervish or to rattle your brains.) If you do get dizzy from simple turns, learn how to spin and keep your equilibrium in balance. Body posture is so critical for success. Adding the element of spins and turns make an exciting performance for the performer and the audience. Turning gives the dancer and explosion of energy that can connect to the audience and abrupt stops can give a staccato punctuation to a finished movement. Written notes will be given out to assist you in remembering what was done in class.
