Amara will be teaching 2 workshops in San Diego:

May 4

12:30-2:30
Workshop I - Dynamic Combinations for Any Kind of Music Amara will drill a series of short combinations focusing on strength, flexibility, balance, isolation, and layering. Then we will rework the combinations by changing their speed, size, and quality (gooey, sharp, and shimmies) in order to assist in our visual presentation of any kind of music. These combinations and exercises can be applied to create both choreographies and improvisations.

2:45-4:45
Workshop II - Fusion Techniques Amara takes a unique approach to this emerging form as she presents techniques and tools on how to create Fusion with ANY dance form. Learn the differences between sequential and simultaneous fusion concepts, explore where to find various dance elements to fuse, and discuss issues of when and why to fuse. Fusion is a great way to add to your current vocabulary, foster creativity, and push your dancing to new heights. This workshop is appropriate for all levels and all dance forms.
