]]> Deep in our bellies lies the memory of Sacred Serpentine Power. In this dance ritual you will be guided on a journey that embraces the power of the belly and the Serpentine movements of the spine.

You will be invited to dance your physical, astral, mental and spiritual bodies. Like the serpent that finds the crack between the rocks and disappears into the darkness, you will be invited to slide through the layers from one energy field to the next. Dancing your breath, belly and spine, accessing the full potential of the fluid undulating movements of the spine, the physical powerhouse of Snake Energy. As the Snaking spine ripples and flows a river of energy though all of your joints and muscles, spiralling out from your core centre you will emerge out of the darkness of your inner journey, you will be invited to find you feet and dance in the new light of you.

This Serpentine Ritual Dance experience is for those who want to find the authenticity of self in their dance. This awareness connects to the whole self beyond just the physical, and the drills and technique.

Give meaning to the beauty and power of the snake movements of belly dance and truly embody Snake Energy. Your dance style and technique will be enriched, strengthen and supported by this deep connections to your essences and to the source of all that is.

]]> I thoroughly enjoyed your workshop about dancing with the bones of the body.

After seeing my own drawings of the pelvis looking like a strange butterfly and the ribs a birdcage it was a real eye-opener. I have belly danced for 6 years but never really thought about the bones, just about muscles and weight etc. So it was good to bring it back to fundamentals of anatomy, and what moves when we do.

Also the simple principles of weight transfer with a bounce, rather than just ‘pushing up’ with the hip I really appreciated – because while I sometimes move into that step, I had never considered that much of our dancecan be broken down into those two simple movements. It frees things up a lot.

I did find the ‘bounce’ helped in the Yasmina workshops today (and more to go tomorrow). Also DEFINITELY for a performance I did in a show last night, I did a character stint as ‘Fifi Abdo’ complete with dark wig and scarf in big bow on my head, totally improvised to some great music I’d found that morning, HEAPS of bouncing and none of it choreographed. Definitely far more liberating! And a whole lot of fun :-)

Thank you! The day was very worthwhile, and I enjoyed dancing with you.

Love & best wishes,
Vicki :-)
Thanks again,
