AUTHENTIC BEGINNINGS
Are you a Conscious Incompetent? Congratulations – you are rarer than you think. Being aware of your current ’state of play’ is not only the first critical step to improvement, but a sign you possess the capacity to candidly and honestly self-assess – one of the integral components of any skilled and talented dancer…
Frank and honest self -evaluation, combined with a little determination and dedication, could facilitate a step beyond any impatience or discontent.
Perhaps you are not happy with your dancing - not progressing as you would like? There are many good teachers out in the field, and perhaps you are happy with your current experience, but still feel it reflects a small aspect of your greater inner potential. Or alternatively, even after years of training, you still only rote through a series of steps without a sense of real connection or understanding of your movement potential and/or authentic Egyptian heritage/movement, all of which are key to enrich and enliven your dance experience. During this 5 week course we will seek to unite anthenticity and inner flame to ignite your motivation, inspiration and creativity. This course will suit both those who have very little training and also those who perhaps have been students for a while, but are seeking another route to development. Be prepared to take those few steps back to go forward with more power and accuracy and you may surprise yourself with the results. Please message through facebook if you have any further questions. https://www.facebook.com/elemental.egyptian.dance
Course commences Feb 2.00pm in Brighton 25th Feb – 2 places only are now available –
