DESCRIPTION:
I want to start with this commentary: this won't be your average cane dance class. The song is beyond-the-beyond badass and you will LOVE it!! OK, now the basic info ..... Learning to dance with a cane is an important step in an intermediate dancer’s development. It was my favorite prop from the first moment I picked it up. Cane dance comes from southern Egypt and features a catchy rhythm and bouncy moves. With attitude! Cane dance is a super blend of personality, folkloric dance moves and manipulating a prop while moving - always a challenge for newer dancers. All experienced dancers have learned to dance with a cane and its like riding a bike – a bit of a challenge at the start, but once you learn it, you’ll always know how to do it. Expect fun and a rhythm that simply grabs you and pulls you in. Cane dance is also a good way to let off a little steam! This class is the right choice for any intermediate student who has not yet performed with a cane, and any student who would like a refresher run with this prop. It is strongly suggested that local students show up in person. This is a required class in the Intermediate level sequence (including multiple technique semesters, veil, cane and zills) prior to or co-temporaneous with taking any Intermediate or Advanced classes during 2023.
PLEASE NOTE: All classes above beginner level require instructor permission (by email). Please note that everyone who attends in person needs to be vaccinated. Masks are optional.
