Rhea’s Graceful Arms plus Finger Cymbals Made Easy Saturday, August 13th 11:30am – 1pm Rhea uses Chakra Theory and principles of Ancient Greek Dance to enable students to dance with their whole body in graceful, fluid movements while playing finger cymbals at the same time. You really can do it! Rhea’s Fast Combos Saturday, August 14th 1:30pm – 3pm Now Rhea’s famous lightning hipwork and smooth transitions can be yours! Dramatic shimmy movements and eye-catching traveling steps combine into one dynamic package. The Complete Dancer with Piper Saturday, August 14th 3:30 – 5pm This class focuses on layering upper-body movements over your hipwork for projection of personality and emotion. Even dancers with fabulous hipwork can appear wooden or remote. Draw your audience in by expressing yourself with your chest, head, and arms. Chobi with Rhea Sunday, August 15th 11:30am – 1pm Liven up your solos with moves from this catchy Iraqi folkdance, or use the combos in group choreographies or line dances with your friends. There’s some fast hipwork here, but beginners won’t feel left behind, and advanced dancers will enjoy the hopping fun! Rhea’s Spicy Cymbals Sunday, August 15th 1:30pm - 3pm Originally designed as an interactive duet, these combos with cymbals are great to use alone in drum solos, or in call-and-respond troupe numbers. Piper’s Dynamic Step Progressions and Transitions Sunday, August 15th 3:30pm – 5pm Piper’s signature moves (the kind that can get a bored audience clapping and cheering), plus interesting and fluid ways to get from one step or direction of movement to another. Piper Method Technique, Levels I & II Monday, August 16th Level I 7pm – 8:15pm You need good grammar and a decent vocabulary in order to express yourself writing poetry. You need a solid foundation of technique in order to express yourself in dance. Start here to begin at the beginning or to brush up on your posture and isolations. Level II 8:15pm – 9:30pm Start here if you are ready to speed up your hipwork, slow down your taqsim, and begin layering. Rhea’s Sibek Choreography Tuesday, August 17th 7:30pm – 9:30pm This is classic American Belly Dance, Rhea style. From 7 ‘till the break, Rhea will focus on technique and combos – these are the moves that she uses when she performs! In the second half, you’ll learn to put the combos together in this dynamic choreography. Students are encouraged but not required to bring cymbals, a tambourine, or a drum to complete the dance. All classes will be held at Meadow Mill in Baltimore. For directions, go to www.pipermethod.com. Saturday and Sunday classes are $20 each, $50 for any three, $90 for all six (such a deal!). Weekday evening classes are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. On-line sales will end at noon on Friday, August 12th. After that you will have to pay the door price! Once you select payment options below, please contact piper@comcast.net to let her know what classes you have chosen. ==Online Sales Closed.
