Iana Komarnytska
Get ready to create your own drum solo choreography in collaboration with Iana!
Choreographing the dance is a whole set of skills that is usually not taught in a regular belly dance class. Often you simply learn a bunch of choreographies from your teacher, and suddenly you are expected to figure out how to create your own dance routine.
But how to approach this task? Where to start? How not to be frustrated with creative blocks or dissatisfaction of the work-in-progress? In this intensive you will be guided during each step of choreographing on the example of Iana’s process, as well as be challenged to complete parts of the choreography on your own.
By the end of this intensive you’ll have a much clearer understanding on how to approach the dance creation task, as well as have a complete drum solo choreography with some parts created by Iana and some parts created by you.
Difficulty: Intermediate/Advanced.
Workload: Medium.
