About the Workshop Intensive

10:00 am - 12:00 pm -- Exquisitely Slow Moves

(The warm up is quick, so come early to stretch before class.)
All that ooey gooey stuff that is so fun and delicious to watch and do will be focused on in this class. We will work from head down to the fingertips. We will cover super slow isolations, extreme undulations, upper body technique, hand work, elbow work, wrist work, posture, oblique strengthening (to get that horizontal pull that makes Mayas and hip slides so exquisite), and belly rolls with emphasis on stomach musculature.

1:00 - 3:00 pm -- Fast and Furious Drills

We will include pilates and yoga-based exercises to strengthen the core muscles necessary for backbends, belly rolls, and tight hip work. Hip, head, shoulder and chest isolations will be drilled, as well as working on smoothing transitions from move to move. We will go over lots of pop-lock technique, as well as fluidity of movement, stressing on posture and upper body awareness. This class is for all levels.

About Zoe Jakes

Zoe is a proud member of The Indigo which recently was on the road touring their show Le Serpent Rouge. She has been touring with Bellydance Superstars since the fall of 2005 and can be seen performing on their new Tribal Fusions DVD. Combining talents with David Satori and Tommy Cappel to create Tribal Derivations last spring, Zoe discovered she enjoyed creating music, and plans to make more. When not with the Indigo, she tours with The Yard Dogs Road Show, a cartoon circus sideshow of wacky dimension, and has been seen tearing it up with the Extra Action Marching Band. An innovative dancer, Zoe has been said to have her own unique take on Tribal bellydance. She takes her influence from Art Nouveau, Tango, break dance, and Indian classical dance. Zoe was recently nominated for Zaghareet's best interpretive artist 2007. She loves unicorns and has never once doubted their existence.
