Mindful Belly Dance Workshop

An Exploration of Ease in Movement using Energy Cultivation and Imagery

 

~ With Melanie Hogan ~

Saturday, January 24th - 1:00pm to 4:00pm

Come and experience how the practice of breath, intention, visualization and energy work can enliven and inform your training and growth as a dancer.  Using the graceful and fluid movements of bellydance, we will explore being mindfully aware of our bodies, discovering and cultivating our energetic center and applying imagery to aid in the release of tension.

Workshop format will include:

  • Guided meditation and breath work
  • Thorough warm-up to engage the body’s subtle energies
  • Basic bellydance technique applying energy and imagery
  • Bellydance choreography
  • Meditative cool down

Open to beginning and advanced students.

 

 

About Melanie:

For over 15 years Melanie has been curiously studying what makes her body and mind happy, on and off the dance floor.  As a practitioner of vipassana meditation, qigong, yoga and ideokinesis she is exploring the links between dance and these body/mind disciplines and how their integration can inform, enliven and deepen our knowledge about the body as dancers.  Trained in many western and ethnic styles, Melanie brings a well rounded dance background to the exploration of these disciplines.
