As a dance form Hip-Hop is a fusion of African, Latin, Jazz, pops, locks and 100% attitude! Bellydance is a Middle Eastern art form that focuses on posture, core strength and performance.  Maybe you want to add a little Bellydance with your Hip-Hop? In this workshop you will learn how to combine the attitude of Hip-Hop with the confidence of Bellydance for one outstanding routine you can take anywhere you like. Some dance experience is required, either in Hip-Hop or Bellydance.

About Mozel.
Mozel grew up loving, listening and dancing to Hip-Hop music. As a teen she organized an after school dance troupe that performed at community dances held every month in the Vancouver/Portland area. Her love of dance continued to grow when she moved to Seattle and started studying African dance. She took classes in Latin, Brazilian and Jazz along the way, but continues to stick to her Hip-Hop roots. When she discovered Bellydance it became obvious that this is what she was meant to do. Mozel studied under Nabeela El Shalimar and Katia Sahar, and performs at various venues around the Seattle area. Mozel combined her love of Hip-Hop and Bellydance to create a unique style she is now
excited to share with others. Presently Mozel teaches Beginning
Bellydance with veil at the Highline YMCA.

About the Workshop Intensive
10:00 am - 12:00 pm -- Exquisitely Slow Moves

(The warm up is quick, so come early to stretch before class.) All that ooey gooey stuff that is so fun and delicious to watch and do will be focused on in this class. We will work from head down to the fingertips. We will cover super slow isolations, extreme undulations, upper body technique, hand work, elbow work, wrist work, posture, oblique strengthening (to get that horizontal pull that makes Mayas and hip slides so exquisite), and belly rolls with emphasis on stomach musculature.
