Add Variety

In my personal practice I would just practice the same things, there wasn’t much variety. I felt like I was going through the motions, but not challenging myself enough. With the bundle I’ve been able to add variety to my personal dance practice and I can do it on my schedule. I love studying with different teachers about different topics.

In My Mother’s Kitchen

An Approach To Understanding the Baladi Progression

Jesenia Lopez

I didn’t learn to dance in the typical way. My mother taught my sister & I, while we cooked in the kitchen. The kitchen was the at the center of our childhood home, with an open layout, so everything from cooking, to celebrating started in the kitchen. Every session would start nearly the same, a song would come on, she would start singing, & encourage us to dance, our guest would do the same. It would start slow, a little shy, but as the music built so did our confidence, & then an inner light would shine brilliantly. In this workshop, this is the earthy, comfort feeling of home that we will be exploring. Jesenia will show approaches to melodic & accent transitions that are constantly weaving in & out seamlessly & using pauses to create space that can draw the viewer in.
