Team work makes the dream work! Join Layla & Shauna team-taught Boho Building Blocks fusion belly dance class series!
Building blocks are the crucial foundation for any good construction, and the same principle applies to dance technique. Just as a solid foundation is necessary to support a building's weight and keep it stable, a dancer's technique provides the foundation for their movement quality and expressive range. As such, dance technique is the cornerstone of a dancer's training, providing the foundation upon which they build their skills, creativity, and artistry.
In this 6 week series, dancers learn the fundamental building blocks of Boho's vocabulary and movement, including proper alignment, balance, coordination, and control. These building blocks are then developed through repetition and refinement, allowing dancers to execute more complex movements and choreography with ease and precision.
As dancers progress through their training, they continue to build upon these fundamental building blocks, incorporating new skills and techniques that enhance their movement vocabulary and artistic expression. Without a strong foundation in technique, dancers may struggle to execute more advanced movements or express themselves fully through their dancing.
