SUBLIME EXPRESSIONS: HANDS AND ARMS
Dance is your passion, your love, your obsession, your voice... How can you more fully embody these feelings through your dance? Don't keep your voice locked inside; let yourself be heard! Omaris will teach you how to convey your emotions through the fluidity of your hands, the drama down the length of your arms, and your energy. We'll work on techniques and drills to help you effectively utilize your hands and arms, giving you the fluidity to freely express yourself!
JUICY TEXTURES
Omaris will teach you how to interpret and follow the melody by varying the movement’ textures, angles and speeds. Also offering subtle yet effective techniques that enhance the range of emotions conveyed by your movements. From juicy moves to precise hip work, you will not just dance to the music... you will become the music! Open to dancers of all levels, the class focuses on both posture and expressiveness, technique and how energy is transmitted to the audience.
