Unleash your primal energies and learn to move your hips a million ways as Melina of Daughters of Rhea shares her family’s ancient matriarchal belly dance secrets with you.
Melina’s precise, poetic and empowering instruction uses somatic story-telling, chakra imagery, rhythm-response and principles of Ancient Greek dance to teach shimmies, snake-like undulations, graceful hands and arms and body isolations. Melina has been invited to teach her family's belly dance style and perform all over the world, from Paris, France to Athens, Greece; from Singapore and Taiwan to Kripalu Center of Yoga and Health in the Berkshires. Melina’s style of belly dance, formed as a child in circus rings and at the shimmying hip of her mother in the shadow of the acropolis in Athens, Greece is globally informed, Greco-Turkish/American Cabaret/Bohemian Gypsy fusion. She believes students should have a strong technical base and confident vocabulary of different belly dance styles and music (Arabic/Turkish/Greek/Tunisian etc), then layer creativity and self-expression on top of that. Most importantly, she believes that all women -- no matter what age, shape, nationality or political affiliation -- are gorgeous goddesses who will benefit from feeling the beauty and empowerment of belly dance in their bodies.
Melina lights up the stage with her unique manouche (circus gypsy) flair, and she is known for her magic use of props: from balancing swords on daggers gripped in her teeth to dancing with trays of burning candles on her head to spinning upside down in the air while hanging by a foot, not even she knows what she’ll come up with next. Stay tuned...
Daughters of Rhea: An international, multi-generational, family life of dance extravaganza! Oriental dance pioneer Rhea of Greece and her multi-talented daughters Melina and Piper (www.pipermethod.com) fire up stages and inspire students worldwide. From the tavernas of the ancient city of Athens, Greece to the Baltimore Museum of Art stage to the European circus ring, The Daughters of Rhea inspire you to be the best dancer you can be, and back it up with a firm emphasis on technique.
