Bellydance Beyond Begs / Intermediate: Entrance (Majense) Choreography
"Majense" is a term used in the Egyptian dance community to describe a piece of music written specifically to be the dancer's entrance piece. The music usually contains a prelude where you wait offstage; a fast section for you to come on stage (lots of travelling steps, turns, often with veil); and then a series of other segments to give a taste of the dancer's style, and what the rest of her show may contain; often this may include some folkloric flavours. It's a bit of everything, all in one piece, which makes it fun and interesting both for the dancer and the audience. All those changes will help attune you to a range of feelings and rhythms in the music.
To allow for our special Iraqi Dance Performance Project at 7pm, we are combining our usual BBs and Intermediate classes into one group. More advanced dancers within the group will be offered extra challenges.
EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Minimum 1 year. This class is not suitable for beginners. You’re expected to be familiar and confident with all the basic moves of bellydance, as taught in our Bellydance Fundamentals Technique course, as well as putting them into combos. Moves like shimmies, hip drops and circles will not be broken down and explained. More advanced dancers are very welcome and can expect to be challenged!
Catch-up options: Sorry, there are no recordings and no repeats of this lesson. Please make every effort to attend in person each week.
