Indian Fusion
IFF L2:
Advancing dance training & Composition

Sept 11 / sept 18 / oct 2 / oct 9
8-9:30 pm (greek time)

This class is a space for current Level 2 IFF students, or Intermediate/Advanced fusion dancers with experience in Colleena’s Indian Fusion Formation.

Dance conditioning, drills & warm-up dances will prepare your dance body for strong and expansive movements.  Attention will be given to training the small nuances of Indian Fusion through drills of eyes, mudra, arm patterns and Bellydance gesture sequences.  In each class we will develop several Level 2 phrases with strong classical Indian dance stylization and weave together phrases of Level 1 vocabulary re rendering them with L2 concepts.

As this is an Intermediate level class, movements will be broken down quickly and present exciting challenges like complex musicality, layering – using Colleena’s  ‘Principle of Opposites’, level, directions, rapid spins and deep contract/expand core movements.  If you do not have experience with Colleena’s IFF Level 1, we suggest you start there.

Price: $88

Fall online class series

Indian Fusion, 

Odissi Classical, 

Intentional Dance Flow 

& Indian Aesthetic Theory on Expression!

September & October 2024

 

This special Fall Online Class Series I am offering will advance your dance skills and develop your range of expression. Expand your emotional palette through graceful embodiment practices from thoughtful fusions, to deeply rooted traditional dance and ‘in the moment’ creation states.

Dance and yoga being one and the same, view the body as a multi layered site of performance – performing intentions that effect multiple layers of the self simultaneously.   Dance can be fun, technically challenging, relaxing and vigorous all at once while achieving both personal and stylistic goals.  I view dance as a holistic experience and my classes aim to touch the layers of our being, at once inspiring healing, while not shying away from rigor and technique.

Practice profound self empowering technologies that use the body as a means of transcendence, while also enjoying the beauty of our own body in union with the music.

There are classes for all levels of experience and recordings are available for the whole series so you are welcome to join from anywhere, at any time!
