Warrior Woman
Advanced beginner to advanced: 2 hours 
11-1pm, £26
Have you always dreamt of been part of the "Tiger and Dragon" cast? This oriental fusion uses the esthetics of Wushu: playing with speeds, impressive pauses, animal imagery, defensive and offensive moves. We will also work on the icon of the Warrior woman. No weapons needed! Good knees and flexibility a plus. 

After going through basic Wushu moves, postures, stretches and drills across the floor, dancers will apply some esthetics of Wushu to their regular movement vocabulary: The sharpness of the smooth silk that clacks, the surprising speed of the tornado that follows a slow deep breathe, the animal and martial imagery. From bravery to fright, calm to panic, dancers will also work on the feelings of the warrior and visualizations of the opponent. The workshop will finish by a couple combinations  -or a choreography- fusing Wushu to Bellydance. 

NB: Please make sure you take a hot bath after the workshop if martial arts are new to you.

Workshop location will be in a dance studio in Central Cambridge (pending final confirmation) - most likely Kelsey Kerridge Dance Studio just off Parker's Piece - location here. It's about a ten minute walk from the Train Station, and there is a big car park next to it - be warned it's one you have to pay for. (The other option for dance studio is just a five minute walk from the train station). There is a huge park opposite (perfect for all that sunny October weather) and a wealth of bars, resteraunts and cafe's just down the road lining the park.
