What was covered the last week of July

Under the theory better late than never, here is what we covered in class last week:

Beginner:

We reviewed hip slides, rib slides, pelvic tuck/drop, rib cage lift/drop, hip lifts, hip lift shimmy, omi and vertical rib cage circles and then we learned inward arm circles, outward arm circles (both directions one at a time, together and alternating), shoulder thrusts and shoulder shimmies.

Intermediate:

We warmed up with 3s then worked on singles with our zils. Next we reviewed ¾ on the up and ¾ shimmy on the down. We then learned traveling hip rolls, reviewed Mayas and upward hip 8s and worked both directions with level changes up and down. We then got out our veils and worked with the matador, half matador, figure 8 and combining matadors with turns.

Advanced:

After warming up we worked on timing the right and left hand open fan waves and flutters so they match. We then worked on open fan vertical and horizontal sweeps and vertical and horizontal circles  following the together, chasing, mirrored, alternating rules. We then worked on our choreography Dream. We finished up the class with a review of GIC with zils and Disco GIC Fusion.

Troupe notes will be posted to our yahoo group.
