Join us for four hours of workshops with Elizabeth!

Dare to Drum Solo: 10 am-12 pm

Course Description: Too often, belly dance students & pros alike find themselves nervous & overwhelmed when taking on the challenge of the mighty drum solo. After all, it is a display of a dancer’s technical abilities, musicality, presence, confidence & personality all rolled into one. There is no hiding in the drum solo!

Dare To Drum Focuses on tremendous technique, stabilization & body mechanics, selecting appropriate movements for your music, sharp isolations, navigating speed, and stage presence. 

Hour 1: Focuses on technique, stabilization & body mechanics,  musicality & how to select appropriate movements for your music.

Hour 2: Geared will focus on sharp isolations, navigating high speed music, & little details that wow!

Stage Presence: 1 pm-3 pm

Your audience may not remember every little thing about your technique, but they will remember your personality onstage & how you made them feel!

The art of stage presence dives into strategies for enhancing your performance skills: facial expression, personality, humor, use of the performance space, & so much more! Special attention will be given to expression with the arms & hands to explore how the upper body can be used to enhance stage presence.

Dancers will have the opportunity to develop their confidence, attitude, & overall comfort with performance in this course.

Hafla Performance Included: 4-5 pm
