Shimmies & Vibrations Workshop
Shimmies express the universal element of vibration. They're a signature movement that defines belly dance, and used in multiple other forms. Yet they're technique is distinctively different from every other belly dance move. And they're a powerful source of healing and relaxation. So let's zoom in and focus on the exotic world of shimmies! Most importantly, let's work on developing YOUR unique shimmy -- the shimmy that only your body can express. All levels welcome. $32 - If you're a RakasaFit.com online member, have a current RakasaFit package for the Sunday class at Alive Juice Bar, or purchase one before the workshop. $40 - With single RakasaFit drop-in on December 8th. $48 - Workshop only RakasaFit is a core fitness belly dance workout.

Pop-Up Drum Solo Workshop
Learn a dynamic jazzy belly dance drum solo routine you can perform, as well as Suzanna's structure and approach so you can customize to your own style! It's very Egyptian, of course, but with lots of dynamics and influences from jazz, African, samba, and even a touch of burlesque!
Basic belly dance technique required and experience learning choreography desired (but can be waved if you're willing to be patient with yourself).

Art of Veil in Belly Dance
Veil is such a spectacular way to make any dance set ultra dynamic, and there is something mystical, poetic, and sensual about the dancer with a long flowing cloth. This workshop trains you on core techniques with veil and guides you to explore possibilities and make the most of this audience favorite. You'll be guided through personal improvisations, principles, techniques, moves, and transitions you'll use throughout your dance career. In addition, we'll cover a simple yet elegant choreography to Alf Leila, an Egyptian classic, which begins with veil and completes with delicious belly dance bodywork!
