Egyptian Belly dance class
Egyptian dance
This dance, commonly called belly dancing, traces its origins in Egypt. It trains for a perfect spinal alignment and a strong centre. It works on circular movements looking for softness and fluidity within rhythmical patterns using isolation of body parts and coordination with strong leg & footwork. It has a nature of free improvisation together with the rich Egyptian music, and uses a whole body language that expresses emotion in an abstract way. It uses natural and feminine movements with isolation of body parts developing sensuality and grace.

She was awarded the Lisa Ullmann Travel Scholarship to study dance and vocal percussion in India (2005). Seeta has presented solo work at the Purcell room (Akademi's Daredevas), and Royal Opera House: ROH2 (2005 & 2006) as a part of it's new:currents summer season.
Her recent work After Cut Glass, commissioned by mac (Birmingham) and funded by Arts Council England, featured her own choreography and played at the mac and ArtsDepot (London). She performed the lead role in the multimedia production Find Me Amongst The Black, choreographed by Darshan Singh Bhuller (Purcell Room).
In collaboration with Kamala Devam of Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company Seeta created a new choreography for the Royal Opera House (ROH2) entitled Alter Ego. This was also performed at deciBel07, Touch Wood at The Robin Howard Theatre and was short-listed for the no-ballet competition competition in Germany (2008).

Bookings in advance are recommended to avoid disappointment.
The main interest is especially in the movement as simple as it is. The choreographic research starts from the base of all the styles I have learnt during my career (modern, ballet, hip-hop, contemporary) and culminates in a contamination of those. Sometimes it is inspired by everyday gestures, sometimes by things I saw once in my life, sometimes by the intention of recreating something that I have imagined.
The contamination class constists of two parts, the first one is based on contemporary and modern technic, the second one on exploring how from codified steps we can achieve different and "strange" dynamics of the movement.
The Hip Hop class starts with the study of the basic steps and a physical preparation into floor-work to reach a fun LA new-style choreography ..Dancers of all styles and levels are welcome
One day: £20
Both days: £30
No concessions

RACE & RHYTHM Workshop: "INTENSIVE MOVEMENT AND ENERGETIC MATERIAL" with Roberto Olivan
"INTENSIVE MOVEMENT AND ENERGETIC MATERIAL" with Roberto Olivan
(Ex-member of Rosas, Artistic Director of Enclave and Deltebre Festival's Funder))
A training and performance opportunity with the international artist Roberto Olivan, who will be teaching for first time in London.
Monday 2nd February-Sunday 8th of February (Both included) 2 hours of Technique and 2 hours of Choreography per day
Mon-Thurs 11-4 Fri 11-5 Sat 12-4 Sun Performance 7.30pm
By learning and using many different kinds of dance techniques Roberto Olivan discovered their limitations for artistic expression. Whilst accepting the necessity for these conventional techniques, he knows that using them exclusively curtails freedom in the dance and the dancers. So he is embarked on a constant quest for the freedom which creates new forms; refining his technique to develop a unique language which can be recognized as his own style - a language centered on speed and precision.
Moving efficiently becomes an important issue. There are other important goals like working with gravity, consciousness of inner sensations such as breathing and the visualization of energy released by movement. This consciousness of body unites mind and physical structure and relates it to spatial energies, to others and one self. In this sense the body becomes a tool of projection for the physical and emotional flow. The force of mental images such as lines and structures around and in the body are used to define and help us to understand the body's functionality better.
COURSE FULL PRICE; £198
*£99 Discount = 50%- Bursary available for all of those who would like to be considered because they can not afford the full price. To be considered for this offer you must request your bursary before the 23th of January and your payments should reach us not later than Monday 25th January.
