Oops - forgot to post yesterday

So here is the review of what we did in class both on Tuesday and on Wednesday

In Beginner

We reviewed hip slides and circles, rib cage slides and circles, hip lifts, hip lift shimmy, hip twists and hip twist shimmy. We then learned unweighted hip twists, the basic Egyptian (both cabaret and tribal versions), single hip bumps, double hip bumps, traveling hip bumps, single hip lift walk, single hip drop walk and double hip lift walk (aka gawazee). We then finished the class with a short session of tribal improv using the three stall movements we have learned (Choochoo, basic E and gawazee).

In Intermediate

We worked on another way to play kashlima zils, reviewed the ¾ on the down and learned the rotational shimmy. We then learned several different variations of “gypsy hand jive” including shoulder beats, fist beats, hip beats, arm slices, belly slices and Indian snake. We then learned two new tribal combos, the ghawazee jill and Choochoo foot change. We finished up the session working on our choreography to Hoplanda.

In Advanced/Troupe

We learned three new tribal combos – the hissy fit by cyra, slow ride by Nadima and the Hips of Hathor by Huraiva – we then reviewed intermediate tribal combos and advanced tribal moves based in Arabic and Basic E.

Homework: Review all combos we have picked for use in the performance on the 4th.
Don’t forget about Open Studio on Friday.
Don’t forget about extra practice on Sunday.
