Neon’s “Secret Gift - Belly Dance & Ritual Dance for Beginners” is a blend of belly dance, ritual dance, or ‘sacred dance’, and movement meditation.
It honors dance as ritual rather than dance as theater, putting its personal and healing aspects above purely visual. You will focus on what you feel yourself as opposed to creating experiences for your audience. Dance instruction in this program is for absolute beginners. However, if you are interested in learning how to use dance in ritual, or create a temple dance experience based on belly dance, it’s open level. Besides basics of bellydance technique, Neon teaches a lot of steps, poses and gestures designed to convey archetypal, symbolic or spiritual meaning you can weave in your own personal ritual or performance.
