KiSS My Zils

We will focus on the technique and details of one of the most iconic props of bellydance - The Zil. Having years of experience playing and developing different zil patterns, Kido will take you through the joy of ziling to bring your technique to the next level.

You need a pair of Zil (wood or metal).

ALL dancers from ALL styles are welcome and encouraged to attend!

KiSS - Kido Sun Style

The course is primarily divided into four parts: slow-tempo movement instruction, fast-tempo movement instruction, "100-time" repetitive practice, and assessment. The key focuses of the course are polishing the form, expression, and awareness of slow-tempo movements and coordinating the zills rhythm in fast-tempo movements. The assessment is split into two stages: completing the "slow-tempo creative theme" evaluation during the course will earn participants a Certificate of Completion; passing the assessment of all fast-tempo movements and zills coordination within the specified time after the course concludes will grant participants a Graduation Certificate.

TTT Formations for Group Improv

Regardless of the number of dancers you are going on stage with, understanding your concept/message, staging, and audience are critical factors for a successful performance. In this workshop, we will discuss how to craft a performance set by examining geometric pathways for group movement, coupled with the dancer(s) you are working with, the staging, and other factors that help the audience connect with your vision. We will put our new skills to use with the dancers in class to build a unique performance based on the FCBD® improv movement format to perform for an audience. Please note, if performing for a show, costume requirements will be provided for the performance.

ALL dancers from ALL styles are welcome and encouraged to attend!
