Embodied Bellydance™
Introducing Embodied Bellydance™
Embodied Bellydance™ is an essential foundation for bellydancers of any genre. Through visualisation and an insight into the workings of the body as a system, participants are taken on a journey to find the true source of movement. The result is effortless, integrated and dynamic dance.
As dancers, most of us know what it’s like to feel stiff in our movements. Some days you just can’t flow from one movement to the next. Other days you can’t hit good strong accents. Improvisation is a scary prospect for many dancers and performing can be very confronting. As for shimmies – well sometimes they just go missing!
If any of these sound familiar for you or your students, then you must explore Embodied Bellydance™.
People who have explored Embodied Bellydance™ say…
“Techniques like the Shimmy and the Egyptian walk have been the hardest for me to teach to my students, but since doing your workshop, I have utilised the way you break movements down, and my students and I are doing the best shimmies ever!”
Melissa Cristina, Oriental Dancer, Melbourne
“Maria’s style of teaching is unique, powerful and deep with major focus on body awareness, finding your centre and being in the moment when you dance. She has an intuitive understanding of the music and guides dancers to explore and interpret it in an authentic manner.”
Madonna Teitzel, Tribal Dancer, Toowoomba
“Maria’s Embodiment work has opened up a whole new way of looking at Bellydance for me. Anatomy, body awareness and the embodiment of the dance takes it to a whole new level, beyond just the physical. I have learnt to be connected to myself fully and authentically. This creates such a freedom within the dance that you rarely find anywhere else.”
Cindy Hyde, Tribal Fusion Dancer, Melbourne
