Sizzlin’ Isolations with Ava Fleming
Moving the hips in isolation from – or in coordination with – the ribcage is the essence of Raqs Sharki. Your hips or torso can move soft and slow, or fast and sharp… but there’s more to it than that! The technique a dancer uses to move her body affects how her audience will feel her dancing.
Ava Fleming’s signature style is based on relaxation within muscular and skeletal isolations, and weight distribution. All that requires understanding exactly how each movement is created. So Ava teaches muscle identification, with exercises to help you connect to the specific muscles you will use. It also requires correct posture, so Ava gives special emphasis to proper body placement to achieve the desired affects safely and gracefully.
