Shamila Millard/Zerina Millard
|
Joyful Modern Indian Dance blending Classical Indian, Bhangra, Afro-Latin, Hip-hop and Belly! More than just a dance class, we will be integrating other aspects of Indian culture such as Yoga, visualisation, theatre and costuming. By the end of the class you will be shimmying across the dance floor like a Bollywood star!
Suitable for everyone. Bring bindis, colourful jewellery, scarves, sense of humour and all your enthusiasm! Zerina says: “Dancing has always been my passion. I especially love Bollywood dance because it is so joyful and energetic but also because it is for everyone, young and old. For me, dance is an expression of life. When people move their bodies and connect with others, they experience a sense of joy and belonging. Assisting people connect with themselves and their community is the reason I do this work. I feel especially honoured to share my own ancestry through Bollywood dance.”
This course will be held in the Guide Hall in Bellingen

| African Inspired Rhythm, Ritual & Dance |
code D3 |
Cheze`Darville
|
This is more than a dance workshop. It is a full 5-day course which includes dance, creative exploration of all the elements, release work using play, singing, music, drawing, and sharing. Cheze’s classes are both uplifting to body and soul, integrating body awareness through technique, relaxation and rhythm, all with the chance to experience the joy and freedom of letting go and getting in touch with your wild side. This course is dynamic and some dance or movement background would be helpful but not necessary - just be prepared to MOOVE, GROOVE, SWEAT AND SMILE ALL OVER. The 5 days will culminate with the drummers and the African dancers in a combined performance.
This course will be held in St. Mary's Hall in Bellingen.

| The Art Of Egyption Dance - Raqs Sharqi |
code D4 |
Shekhinah Morgan
|
Learn the ancient feminine dance of the Middle East. This workshop will take you to the roots of Bellydance. Based on circles, weight shift and allowing authenticity in the body, Raqs Sharqi brings groundedness and
alignment by engaging the power in the pelvic area. This dance encourages physical presence and expressiveness in the body bringing beauty and sensuality into everyday life. Each day we will begin with a low impact warm up emphasising stretching and connecting with the creative centre in the body.
This year our dance will have the flavour of the refined classical oriental style with emphasis on perfecting the Egyptian walk. As well, we will create an environment of pleasure and pampering focusing on the feet, with foot baths, simple massage and foot adornment .
This course will be held at the Uniting Church Hall in Bellingen.
