Who
Zoe
An innovative dancer, Zoe has been said to have her own unique take on Tribal bellydance. She has had the honor of performing with Jill Parker, Aziza, Liz Strong, and was a member of the Suhaila Dance Company in 2001. As a child, Zoe was forced to go kicking and screaming to ballet, jazz and tap, later on in life thanking her mother for making her go, as it proved to be essential in her career choice.
Zoe has been bellydancing non-stop since she saw her first bellydancer at a festival in 2000, where she developed an instant obsession with the dance form and has not been the same since. She was a part of the esteemed Bay area Troupe Aywah!, performing at numerous venues in the San Francisco Area and becoming familiar with Folk dance from many regions around the world.
Her interpretation of bellydance is enhanced through the study of other dance forms, including Classical Indian Kathak, which she studied at the school of Chitresh Das. Zoe is a part of the Group Arabesque, a dance troupe pushing the boundaries of traditional bellydance with old timey influences. Her colorful dance history includes performing with the Extra-action marching band and David Byrne at the Hollywood Bowl and the Fillmore in San Francisco June of 2005, Zoe is also a member of the Yard-dogs Road Show, whom she toured America with last summer.
What
Fancy kicks, tight spins and those elusive concepts to take pops and locks to the next level by mixing the liquid smoothness of a snake with hits and stops that look almost inhuman. This workshop will focus on ways to perform with passionate expression while maintaining control and grace. These concepts will be fully broken down using short combinations as examples so the student is able to get a real understanding of the mechanisms behind them.Level
