AmCab Combos
The traditional American Cabaret Set is a 3/5/7 or 9 part set that developed in the restaurants and nightclubs of the USA over the 1950's and 60's. It has a specific structure and musical flow resulting from the immigration patterns and cultural landscape of the USA during this time. Each week we will work on combinations/ short choreographies to classic songs and include a brief discussion about the focus of the week. Each focus will be a different part of the full set:
Week #1 ENTRANCE song Sehnaz Longa
Week #2 VEIL song Miserlou
Week #3 CANE song Bambi Saidi
Week #4 SWORD song Aman Doktor
Week #5 KASHLIMAR song Rompi Rompi
*Classes will include optional cymbal patterns for dancers working at home*
**Students will have access to video recordings of all classes until June 30**

Bellydance Conditioning Class
2 hours of stretching, strengthening and technique drilling, these classes are the perfect combination of yoga, pilates and technical focus that you need to clarify and centre your dance practice.
We start the class with a good hour of yoga and pilates based stretching and strength training, followed by 50 minutes of drills for strong, clear technique *Different drills will be given based on individual level and focus*. Finger cymbal patterns may be included so make sure to have yours ready. We end with 10 minutes of focused, cool-down stretching to get you ready for your Sunday and the coming week ahead.
*Please note - As the focus of our weekly Level 1 and 2 classes has evolved to work more with combinations, short choreographies, arms, hands and body carriage, these conditioning classes are your opportunity to focus on drills and body conditioning*
Bring a water bottle and small towel with you. You will sweat!
A video recordings of the class is included to help you practise at home in your own time.
