Serpentine: Belly Dance with Rachel Brice

Serpentine
- Belly Dance with Rachel Brice: Belly Dance Technique & Yoga for
Strong, Relaxed & Sinuous Movement is a unique blend of yoga
conditioning, belly dance technique drills, choreography and
mini-classes designed by Rachel Brice, star performer and instructor of
contemporary belly dance, whose technique, artistic style, and warm
personality contributed to the rise of Tribal Fusion belly dance.
Rachel's
instructional method offers you tools to achieve precision of
isolations, deep full-range movement, as well as flexibility and
strength that will give you the sinuous serpentine grace characteristic
of Rachel's own dance style. Her drills, combinations and yoga sessions
are designed to help you establish your own regular dance practice,
customized to fit your creative goals and lifestyle.
The two main sections of Serpentine are 1. Technique and 2. Choreography & Classes.
The
Technique section opens with "Yoga for Belly Dance", carefully crafted
to enhance your strength and flexibility, qualities crucial for relaxed,
effortless dance. A veteran yoga instructor with many years of
practice, training, and yoga teaching experience, Rachel Brice leads you
in a beautiful flow of classic yoga postures and stretches. She teaches
yoga in the Viniyoga tradition as transmitted by Gary Kraftsow and the
faculty of the American Viniyoga Institute, LLC.
The Yoga is followed
by three drills sessions: Leg Strengthening Drills, including a variety
of travel and level-change exercises, and mini-combinations;
Isolation
Drills (shoulders, torso, and pelvis) where you practice belly dance
isolations and then layer each one on 4 footwork patterns; and the
Shimmy Drill, a delightful high-energy non-stop shimmy practice with
Rachel's signature shimmy layering. The Technique section ends with a
Finishing Yoga Practice.
Rachel's Choreography & Classes section
features two choreographies; A fast and playful dance set to music of
progressively increasing tempo, and a flowing slow dance including
backbends and fluid serpentine movement punctuated with elegant accents.
Each choreography is performed in costume and then demonstrated from
the back with Rachel facing the mirror. Rachel teaches you the
combinations for each choreography step-by-step with practice first at a
slower pace, and then the faster. A special DVD feature offers practice
loops for each combination.
To promote correct and safe backbending
technique, Rachel Brice teaches a mini-class on the biomechanics of
backward bending, and leads you in the "Yoga for Backward Bending"
practice designed to increase the flexibility and the range of motion in
your back and develop a strong habit for proper muscle support when
executing backbends.
Additional classes and materials include: Yoga
Breathing; arm and footwork patterns to be used during the drills;
basics of the 10-point dance posture; and two performances by Rachel
Brice.
