Wednesday class:
Title: Power Drills and Chills
Teachers: Shakra
Skill Level: Open to all levels, but previous dance experience will be helpful
Description:
(part 1) Powerful music needs powerful moves. In the first part of this class, Shakra will show you new and exhilarating movements to bring strength, power and the need for speed into your dance, especially for those times when the music calls for more "umph"! Be warned! We will jump, shout, twist, stomp, slide, bend, drop, stretch, fling, toss and shake.
(part 2)For the second part of this workshop, let Shakra lead you on a dark and creepy creative adventure, showing you how to add an extra dimension to your dance.


Thursday class:
Title: Transfusion drills, combos and choreography
Teachers: Shakra
Skill Level: Open to all levels, but previous dance experience will be helpful
Description:
Come sweat and stomp with Shakra! (Oh how our little dark hearts love to stomp.) This high energy and cardiovascular workshop will give you a crash course to Transfusion Dance. We’ll be focusing on the Afro-Industrial fusion side of Shakra’s style, which is heavily influenced by African dance, but incorporates other high energy movements from donor styles such as Bhangera, Hip Hop, Modern, and Bellydance. This side of Transfusion Dance will focus on bringing power and extension into your movements and embrace the need for speed when working with powerful and fast beats. We will start with a brief introduction to the philosophy behind Tranfusion Dance. Then, after a “get your blood pumping” warm-up to industrial beats, we’ll start in on ass-kicking drills, big movements, powerful combos, and tie it all together with a short choreography.
