This 3 day workshop is a great way for anyone to jump into Zoe's bellydance format, and absolute beginners are encouraged to start here!

DanceCraft, Zoe Jakes’ format, starts with the Diamond key, which represents our Foundation. Just like Diamonds, our skills don’t start out spectacular and polished; but with enough strength, pressure, dedication, sweat and time, something special arises.

This intensive is an opportunity to study the fundamental movements and shapes of the format, and to gain perspective of where the training ultimately leads. We will be exploring the roots of Zoe's stylization and influences, while using this prep course to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of Fusion Bellydance, Dance Craft style.

Want some DanceCraft exposure before you jump in? Join us for this introductory, all levels intensive.

***Due to the COVID 19 global pandemic things may look a little different this year. We may be outside, with masks, distanced a bit more from each other. We may be in the studio. Or, we may need to move classes online. We are hoping that all in-person events will be able to happen, however, we cannot predict what will happen in 2021. We highly suggest you wait to book your flights and hotel rooms until 1 to 2 months before the event. We are not liable for any non-refundable out-of-pocket expenses you may incur if an in-person event has to be brought online. We will follow all health regulations and recommendations on whether or not it is safe to hold in-person events. We will stay in communication with you and let you know if any in-person events will be moved online and we will keep you informed of any location changes due to needing more distance between participants.
