Intricate Belly Dance Isolations: Scheherazade 2
Lyrical Fantasy: Scheherazade Choreography with Autumn Ward - 2 classes
•
1h 6m
Level: Advanced
Once you've reached an advanced level, you (hopefully!) have a good technical command of most belly dance vocabulary, but is your instinct for transitions equally developed? In this class, we'll
learn and practice an intricate sequence of detailed isolations, finding new pathways between moves, and putting those pathways into your muscle memory. And because our steps are carefully mapped to melody, our sequence today also acts as an exercise in music
interpretation. We begin with a short warmup and long technique flow, then learn and practice a choreography excerpt set to Beata and Horacio Cifentes' Oriental dance arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's
“Scheherezade.” Today's class is the second of two classes using this music. While both classes are designed to stand on their own, for those who are taking these classes in order, we'll conclude by briefly
revisiting the sequence we learned in part one and running it together with the sequence we're practicing today.
