I'm taking a Waving intensive, and one of my exercises was working with ice cream (specifically making a sundae) and stillness... Here's my sunny freestyle. And sorry it's without sound :(
I'm working with a single song for my freestyle flows, starting online here with yesterday's post.
I'm not really that happy with today's, as it seems a little scattered. I'm going to try narrowing my concepts down tomorrow, and maybe adding a few pre-set options for development.
02/19/21 Is You Is (2 of 2) - on Saturday's Belly Dance Brew - I was thinking about locks versus smooth flow, as well as lots of upper body (my knees aren't doing well today so I need to be careful as I won't be able to dance full out even for the show).
I'm using this music for my performance on Saturday's Belly Dance Brew - I was thinking about locks versus smooth flow, as well as lots of upper body (my knees aren't doing well today so I need to be careful as I won't be able to dance full out even for the show).
Another crack at working solid arm positions without many dance movements. Also working body angles with strength and dynamics.
Inspired by classes with Aziza, I've been working with arm positions in my personal practice. Here I was trying not to flail my arms (I've been feeling they've been moving very randomly when I watch my recorded improvisations), but place them into specific dynamic positions - also trying NOT to add much else besides the lower body posture and placement.
I so love arms, and I often feel they are the most expressive part of my body. I'm very comfortable using them on their own and as additions or embellishments... But every now and again, I feel they take over!
From my personal practice, here's an exploration session with a focus of playing with open and close.
