Apologies for the short notice on this one! It's been one of those summers. :) I am extremely excited to be hosting Christina King from Chicago's fabulous Blue Lotus for two workshops on Sunday July 27th. Here are the workshop times and descriptions:

10:00 am—12:00 pm
Wearing your Prop: Skirt Variations and Combinations for Tribal Improv
Learn how to use your skirt to create beautiful shapes with the basic improv vocabulary as well as several combinations designed specifically for skirt work. Please bring a skirt at least 12 yards at the hem. The bigger, the better! (There will be a few skirts available for borrowing at the workshop if you don’t own one yet.)

1:00—3:00 pm
Switch it up! - Leading and Following on Both Sides of the Tribal Improv Formation:
Christina has created her own system for switching the lead in group improv from left, to right, to center, and back again. Drill the basic tribal improv moves leading with the left side and see how much you can do for your dance by honoring both sides of the stage, the audience, and your body. This class is designed for those who have a basic general knowledge of ATS.

Workshops will be held at The Studio Dance and Art Center (3020 W. Colorado Ave, Colorado Springs). Cost is $25 per workshop or $45 for both.

Please contact me at kari@karibellydance.com to pre-register. You don't want to miss this one!!
