It's all how you handle the big stick. Cane, or 'Raks Assaya', is a traditional woman's dance art that offers tremendous creative expression to Fusion, Burlesque, and Vaudeville artists. Building on the bellydance vocabulary, we drill sustainable cane technique and explore combos with attitude. Great for developing both troupe precision and the theatrical face of fusion. 330--5:30 p.m. Onça & August teaching together: Live Music: Because a Round of Drinks is Cheaper than an iPod $35 Live music can take your performance to a new strata of stage presence, power, and community pleasure. Musicians love dancers that can clearly describe what they need, and dancers love musicians that honor those needs while making them look wonderful. This high-spirited, interactive workshop addresses etiquette, effective communication onstage and off, and tips on how to successfully collaborate while being aware of everyone's interests. These fun exercises in creating strong entrances, transitioning tempos, and ending fabulously will all be accompanied by the (strains, wheezes, and mellifluous sounds of the) accordion.
