STUdance show
Jul. 3rd, 2011 01:59 pmYesterday's Oum Kolthoum rehearsal was fun, we got a lot done so Ahlem could go on holiday feeling good about our progress :) I got back to Amersfoort and went to the STUdance performance. It was in the theater we rented for our belly dance show this year. It had an interesting combination of styles, from ballet to jazz ballet, street dance and modern. I kept a special eye on the choreography as I need to get myself into gear for troupe choreography for next year.
It struck me how important it is to keep your dancers moving around, no matter their skill level. I'm choreographing a saidi piece today for the regio group and I'll put some new stuff in there so we can chew on it. The request was if I could make an extremely difficult choreography but I think I'll stick with difficult instead, we can always turn it up a notch. There will be a lot of level changes, floor patterns, synchronous vs. solo work and a couple of tongue in cheek moves I picked up in an Aziza workshop last year. Bring it on!
