In this intensive we’ll be delving into Rachael’s signature vintage inspired dark and glamorous stylisation, channeling the poise of the vamp vixens of yesteryear for a dramatic expression of Fusion Bellydance designed to ensnare the audience! Taking inspiration from the silent screen sirens and Hollywood femme fatales of the 1920s alongside the glamour and elegance of Egyptian Bellydance’s Golden Era, this intensive will combine their captivating aesthetic with classic yet innovative fusion bellydance technique for an intoxicating mix. We will look at presentation, projection and use of gaze as well as exploring beautiful postcard poses and clean lines all wrapped up in clear, precise technique particular for this style. In the first workshop you’ll learn a beautiful choreography that epitomises this elegant and dramatic presentation, and in the second innovative movements and combinations to inject into your own dancing.
