MODERN/TAI CHI

with Jane Shockely/Ray Hawayrd | March 11, 5:30-7:00pm

Are you looking for a way to bring organic nuance to your dancing, a path to your power and grace , or just want to try something new? Then this workshop in Tai- Chi/ Dance is for you! A Tai -chi body is soft, relaxed and neutral. It is from this neutral body that we will move from slow to fast, small to big and easy to rigorous. We will practice standing meditation, breath work(chi kung), and movements that are slow, simple and gentle. These movements will be the foundation for a faster and more complex phrase of movements that highlight the body's relationship to gravity. All levels are welcome.

BOLLYWOOD

with Divya, Jinal, and Rashi | March 12, 5:30-7:00pm

Bollywood is a stylized freestyle dance form based on moves used in the Indian/Bollywood films. It is energetic, lyrical, and aerobic, molded on classical and folk dance forms (Bhangra, Raas, Kathak, and Lavani), and influenced by Western Hip Hop. In short- it's way too much fun!

Divya Maiya, Jinal Vakil, and Rashi Mangalick form Bollywood Dance Scene-Twin Cities. They are trained dancers that have been teaching Bollywood in Twin Cities area for over a year now. "We all come together to teach dance, present our culture & have fun."
