COURSE OVERVIEW & DESCRIPTIONS

Egyptian Style with Dahlia Moon
Dahlia will begin with a tutorial in Egyptian basics and then teach a choreography. She also has a improv class she's inspired to share with you and a folkloric Saidi style Cane Dance. Canes can be ordered closer to the event if you need one.

Power Belly Class with Delilah & Erik
This is Delilah's popular style of workout done in the round, with or without the Powerbelly weight belts. This is done to a unique live signature style of music composed by Erik Brown; Bass, hand drums, samples and looped tracks. The weight belts challenge the dancer to work a little harder. It can also be done isometrically without weights. The work improves muscle memory, core body balance, and agility for learning new combos and isolations. Its a perfect mix for the UNMATA style, as well as learning and retaining new isolations and choreography.

Tribal Hula Fusion with Amy Sigil

Amy will be introducing you to her unique body mechanics and UNMATA styling that came out of Hula, Hip Hop and Tribal Belly Dancing. The music will be loud and you will get very very wet! We promise! Amy’s course work with include elements of:
• Sigil School
• Signature Combos
• UNMATA au Nature with Hula
• Hot Pot Fusion
• Fast and Furious

Special Note About the Music:
Erik Brown will be bringing gear to play his inspiring brand of Live Power Belly Music which is a mix of live and looped sound tracks. But Amy Sigil's music is very specific, and she will be using recorded music. Dahlia Moon may use a little of both live and recorded music, but for her choreography you will be dancing to recorded music.


Extra Class Opportunity**

Erik and Delilah

Demystifying the Drum Solo with Delilah & Erik

Delilah and Erik are offering a two part live drum solo dance class for a limited number of dancers. It is two more classes (afternoon on Day 3, and evening of Day 4). It involves instruction in rhythm patterns, attitude and then soloing to Erik’s live drum. Everyone learns by doing and watching. These classes really develop the dancers’ skill. The number for this class will be the first 8 to request it. The time duration may change, + or - in regards to the number of dancers, so that every one gets equal time.
