*Please note: Due to limited space, early registration for the full course is strongly recommended, as these classes are strictly limited to a maximum of 12 people. The previous course at City Rescue was sold-out, and drop-in attendance may not be possible.
Aimed at the beginner or the more advanced dancer wishing to revisit and strengthen elementals, this course goes back to basics: over five weeks, we will become acquainted with the conditioning required to build the body for tribal fusion movement, and also be introduced to drills for building muscle memory of the fundamental movements. By the end of the course, dancers will be acquainted with the basic components of the tribal fusion movement vocabulary, and will also have some practice integrating them into combinations. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water.

Over six weeks, we will put technique into practice--honing moves through drills designed to get you improvising and building combinations for dance. Each class will deal with a handful of moves in detail, and through these we will explore concepts essential to constructing one's own choreography, such as musicality, transferring movement, and fluidity in improvisation.
Aimed at the dancer familiar with tribal fusion, this class is open to anyone seeking to expand their range of movement in the tribal fusion vocabulary and gain a sense of how movements work together. Classes may be taken as a course, or on a drop-in basis. This class will involve yoga- and pilates-based conditioning, so come dressed to move and bring a bottle of water.

*South London YMCA, 40-46 Stockwell Rd, London SW9 9ES
Kimberly Mackoy studied bellydance under Rachel Brice, Frederique David, Suhaila Salimpour and other jaw-dropping innovators in San Francisco . Her style of tribal fusion blends buttery continuous movement with energetic hip work, utilizing modern and ancient elements to transcend the usual boundaries around regions and moments in time. The influences are truly international, coming together in the gaze of a creative eye that integrates them into something fresh and entirely unexpected.Tribal fusion catches the eye with smooth isolations and controlled, muscular movement; to achieve this, the first part of class is devoted to conditioning, muscle awareness and drilling essential moves. Further attention is devoted to technique, fine tuning movement and learning to bring everything together within a choreography in the second part of class.
Come dressed to move, and expect mat based conditioning and light yoga to get warmed up.
