"[T]ake a Mardi Love choreography workshop." - Moria's advice for Tribal BDSS auditions


Helenwheels is honored to present ~
A MARDI LOVE Valentine's Intensive in Seattle February 14-16, 2009!
www.theindigo.net

Not a festival. Not The Indigo. No distractions. Only Mardi. Be mine. Three days. Intense. TWELVE hours. Love. You never forget your first time....

I am honored beyond words to present the first ever Mardi Love 3-Day Intensive! Feeling SEPARATION ANXIETY for ditching your sweetie on Valentine's Day to go dancing? It's ok, Mardi will make it all right. At my special request, she's dressing up her Sunday best with ASSUIT & TIE. And then top it all off with some CLANKY PANKY. Go ahead, take the day off on Monday. I hereby declare it a national holiday - Mardi Love Day!

These workshops are best for those with some bellydance experience but adventurous beginners are welcome. Just remember that each workshop runs 4 hours straight so be prepared and pace yourselves accordingly to your own needs.

ESSENTIAL MARDI: 12 hours of true LOVE

Saturday * 12:00-4:00

A Lil' Valentine's Two-fer
SEPARATION ANXIETY: Isolation Patterns
Goody, a bunch of drills that ask for a little concentration. Enjoy an afternoon of quirky patterns while keeping timely hips on the back burner. Indulge; it's good for you. Belly dance experience or a penchant for patting your head and rubbing the tummy recommended.

(recess)

TURNS
Providing a few new turns lovingly crafted by Mardi. A little something to slip into the slow pieces.

~*~*~

Sunday * 12:00-4:00

THAT'S HOW WE ROLL
Spend the first part of class brushing up on slow technique, with some emphasis on belly rolls... perhaps Mardi's favorite constituent in quintessential belly dance. We'll be making room for them in basic movements with layering, and working them into combinations. Movements will be broken down and drilled. Belly rolls for some hours... consider that as you enjoy your breakfast.

ASSUIT AND TIE: Abbreviated Costume Forum
We'll take a little time out from belly-churning to talk costuming. Mardi's spent some years stitching up little numbers as a member of Urban Tribal, The Indigo, and Bellydance Superstars, and is willing to shed a little light on her approaches to costuming. **This is another Seattle exclusive - never offered before and may never happen again!**

~*~*~

Monday * 12:00-4:00

MASTER CLASS: RAPID-FIRE COMBOS SERIES
We'll wrap up Day 3 with some quality time with Mardi to nourish us until we meet again. Students will be dealt a series of signature combinations, many with a common thread. String em together to form a choreography or use them separately with tribal improv. Movements will be broken down and drilled ruthlessly/endlessly. Bring zils along if you're so inclined, and we'll add some percussive interest. **Zils are *optional* with a few combos for those up to the challenge. The whole workshop does not involve zils. Don't be skeered!**

This smaller master class is only available as part of a multi-day pass or with permission from Helenwheels to maintain the flow of instruction established over the weekend.
