Tribal Boot Camp will teach the fundamentals of Tribal Style dance, as well as strengthen basic dance skills and offer inspiration for growth in each dancer’s unique dance style.
In a series of four workshops, participants will learn about musculature as it relates to dance movements and maximizing control, incorporate yoga for greater flexibility, experiment with music, and learn unique combinations.
Handouts will be given that, when combined, create a useful handbook and practice companion, complete with photos of each exercise and yoga postures.
While it is possible to attend individual sessions, it is recommended that you book the program as a whole as each session builds on the previous one.
Aela Badiana, an award winning performer and choreographer, has been dancing in one form or another for most of her life. In 2001, the German-born dancer discovered belly dance. In August 2002 she moved to Stuttgart, where she took classes from various teachers, both German and from the various countries of Raqs Sharki, giving her a broad spectrum of modern, traditional, folkloristic and experimental belly dance. Aela is an AFAA-certified Personal Trainer and a Yoga Fit Instructor. Aela owns Hip Expressions in Gloucester, VA, where she directs two performance troupes. In May 2010, Aela will once again host her annual Tribal Delight with Sharon Kihara.
