| Time TBC: Dance Expression - £18 (2 hours) | ||||
|
Teachers often say to their students: 'you have to feeeeel it!! Express your dance from within!!'. But how do you do that? Hilde will give you some pointers in how you can use the breath, use natural rhythm, how you can use quality of movement and how you can transform this in relation with the music and with your audience. Using elements of choreology (movement analysis) based on Rudolph Laban's work we will demystify how you can bring more expression to your dance. |

| Time TBC: Gypsy Fusion Workshop with Hilde & live music from Chaos Carousel - £26 (2 hours) | ||||
|
If you have ever wanted to dance with live music, here's your chance. Chaos Carousel will be providing live music during this fun and energetic workshop where elements of Tribal Fusion, Flamenco and Turkish Rom are used to create isolation and travelling combinations. We will work towards a choreographed piece at the end of class. Please bring a full circle skirt for this workshop! |

| 10-12: Safe Dance Practise - £18 (2 hours) | ||||
|
How do you safely warm up to prepare the body for dancing, what is good pain versus bad pain, what is overload versus working of the muscles, what about nutrition? In this workshop we will cover a lot of misconceptions in dance training regarding body alignment, stretching, warm up, cool down.... |
||||
| 1-3: Bellydance Geometry - £18 (2 hours) |
||||
|
Hilde's background in Mathematics plays a major part in her approach towards teaching dance. Curves, lines and shapes are constantly around us and visualising these shapes will work towards aesthetically more interesting body designs (poses) and movement patterns in space. |

About Hilde
 |
Originally from Belgium, Hilde moved to Brighton in 2004 to pursue her career as a dancer. At a young age she became passionate about dance and she took her first dance class in 1996. She started with street dance and funk classes with Majid Ghadiri (NL), Marsha Momerency, Haider and Saho (BE), but it wasn't long before she discovered belly dance. For years to come she practised the different Middle Eastern techniques and rhythms and took regular classes with Serkan and Sarah Chebaro (BE) and workshops with an endless list of performers and instructors from all over the globe, such as Rachel Brice, Mardi Love, Frederique, Amy Sigil from Unmata, Mira Betz, Zoe Jakes, Kami Liddle,Sharon Kihara, Samantha Emanuel, Aziza, Ava Fleming, Ariellah, Heather Stants from Urban Tribal , Suhaila Salimpour , Donna Mejia , Colleena Shakti and Carolena Nericcio from Fat Chance Belly Dance (US) to name a few.
Over the past 15 years, she has been studying flamenco, ATS, contemporary dance, ballet, jazz, street dance, tribal fusion and Egyptian dance to expand her horizons. Over the years she has created her own unique style of dancing, where Middle Eastern dance techniques are combined with other styles of dance. In September 2009 she started a 2 year diploma course at the Laban school of Dance (one of the world's finest dance schools) bringing her focus to choreography, choreological studies, anatomy, dance history and dance criticism, yoga, pilates, contemporary dance, ballet, Jazz and Physical theatre, all to understand dance in a broader context. In February 2012 she is starting a 2 year teacher training course in Oriental Dance in Berlin with Beata and Horacio Cifuentes. Hilde often travels to the US to study with Donna Mejia, who is with her extensive training in Contemporary Dance (Silvestre Technique) a great inspiration. |
About Chaos Carousel
 |
Blending Music of Eastern Europe and the Balkans with mesmerising Tribal Fusion Belly Dance, Chaos Carousel takes us on a journey that not only crosses continents but also takes us deep into ourselves. Skillfully weaving elements of Klezmer, Fasil and Demotika into new repertoire and using rhythms and grooves both reminiscent of the shtetl and the souk, the four players weave a frenetic and alluring evening of hypnotic and intoxicating Live Music & Belly Dance.
Members: Merlin Shepherd (Clarinet) Nigel Broderick (Accordion) Sam Samo (Darbucka) Hilde Cannoodt (Fusion Belly Dance) |
