Tell a Friend! |
| |
| | Students will learn traditional Middle Eastern and tribal fusion dance steps, basic moves, and combinations. This class will introduce the basic hip, upper body, and hand movements, as well as costuming, hair, and accessories. Props and accessories, including zils and veils, will also be used. Solo and group choreography will be taught. Belly dance enriches the mind, body, and spirit. The movements compliment and strengthen the female form and work wonders both internally and externally. It enhances self-confidence and self-esteem. It is for all women with no restrictions on age, height, weight, or previous dance experience. It is a cultural art form with outstanding rewards and benefits. It's great exercise and far more fun than you might expect!
Dress in clothing that allows you to move; no jeans or stiff clothing. Suggest yoga or loose pants, leotards or tees, and long, full skirts. Ballet, jazz, or other soft-soled dance shoes work best, but you may also dance barefooted.
Optional: zils, veils, and dance bells will be available from the teacher for $20 - $25 or get your own from internet sources.

| The Basics: Waltz, Fox-Trot, & Tango | Tell a Friend! |
| |
| | Unlike the classic Viennese waltz that most people think of when they hear the word "waltz," in this workshop, you'll learn the basics of the American Slow Waltz, along with the classic Fox-Trot as seen in the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movies and also seen in the movie "American President" with Michael Douglas and Annette Bening. Both of these slow, graceful and beautiful dances are good to have in your repertoire. In addition, you'll learn the most beautiful, social, and well-known Tango in America--the "American Smooth." The American Smooth Tango incorporates the dramatic movements of the International Tango with some of the fiery movements of the Argentine version.
Join Juan Parache and learn the basics that you need to know to start "steppin' out" onto the dance floor! |

| Ballroom Dance Workshop: The Smooth Dances | Tell a Friend! |
| |
| | This intensive workshop will concentrate on three Smooth dances: the Fox-Trot, the Waltz, and the Rumba. This workshop will be separated into three 2-hour sessions that will begin with an introduction to each dance. Juan will teach the basic steps and techniques, followed by a half-hour of open dancing so that you'll be able to practice what you've learned and get personalized help from Juan and his partner.
This workshop will close with a review of all three of the dances and some time to enjoy open dancing where you will be able to ask questions and ask for demonstrations of steps you need to review.
Here's your chance to learn and review the most popular smooth dances, all in one fast-paced day with Juan. Enrollment is limited so that individual attention can be given. |

| Salsa, Cha-Cha, & Merengue | Tell a Friend! |
| |
| | This new workshop will teach the basics of three spicy dances: the Salsa, the Cha-Cha, and the Merengue. The Salsa is derived from several different Cuban and Caribbean dances and has evolved over the years. The Cha-Cha is a world-famous Cuban dance and is one of the most popular, sensual, and rhythmic of all the Latin dances. The Merengue is the national dance of the Dominican Republic and is also very popular in Haiti.
Come to this new workshop and learn these hot Latin dances! |
