Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

We are very excited to be hosting the amazing Deb Rubin from San Francisco this weekend (January 16th & 17th) for her Tribal Fusion Belly Dance Workshops.

The use of djembes in musical selections, and the addition of African shimmies and stomping could be called a fusion.  The combination of hip hop-inspired pops and locks with modern/interpretive contortions and jazz floor patterns and Western music would create a fusion. So long as the many or most of the basic elements, which define tribal and belly dance, are still predominant in the performance, it could be referred to as a tribal fusion. 

Deb will split up the workshop in two: Super Slow and Slinky and Pop, Locks, and Layers (Get your Glitch on!)  This is the first time Dominical will host this type of event, and really, what better place than to get inspired by your beauty within and releasing your inner dance goddess than this little beach paradise of a town?

So we invite you all to come and shimmy with us!
