Tribal Conditioning & Tango for Fusion Dancers
with Letty and Sarah Kate of CopperClock

Join us for a high-energy tribal fusion technique class with this dynamic duo. In the first hour, Letty will lead you through some conditioning exercises and a series of drills for sharp, powerful fusion technique. In the second hour, Sarah Kate will give you some Argentine tango technique and vocabulary to add to your tribal movement repertoire. We’ll bring it all together with a combination you can adapt and use for drilling or in performance. The ladies of CopperClock love a good hard dance workout, so come prepared to sweat! Bring a yoga mat and water bottle. (Yoga mats are available at the studio if you don't have one.)

Bio: CopperClock is Letty Limbach and Sarah Kate Moore. They strive to create dynamic, mischievous tribal fusion that draws on many forms of world dance. You can find them on the web at http://www.copperclockdance.com.

Can-Can Dance Intensive with Vaudie Va-boom!

Learn: All the traditional Can-Can kicks (Straight Kicks, Knee Kicks, Roxies, P-Kicks, Fan Kicks, Frappes, Tick-tocks, etc.), along with skirt manipulation and chorus line technique. For those of you who took her last workshop - there will be more cardio can-can drills, skills, and routines for you to practice! And for those of you who didn’t – its’ never too late to learn! We will also learn leaps, assisted cartwheels, tumbling tricks and little bits of extra expression and flare that are essential to Can-Can.

What to Wear: Its dress-up time! Glitz out with ruffle bloomers, stockings, and a big skirt (some skirts will be available to borrow). Soft dance shoes or bare feet. Sports bra highly recommended.

About Vaudie Va-boom!: Vaudie has been dancing, performing, choreographing for 8 years. After her first experience dancing Can-Can as an enchanted napkin in a production of Beauty and the Beast in 2006, she continued to pursue her love of dance in the bay area and joined a professional Can-Can troupe from San Francisco called Le CanCan Bijou. In addition, Vaudie now directs her own troupe called the Can-Cannibals, is one-half of the burlesque duet called the Dishrag Dollies, produces her own variety show called Oakland’s Only Punk Rock Cabaret, and has recently hit the road on a solo tour!
