Modern Dance

Holistic Wellness Workshop created by Fayzah. Tuning in to the frequencies of Air, Earth, Water, Fire, & Spirit. Breath work, meditation, emotional balancing, recuperating personal power, ancient trance dance, releasing blocks, healing, elevating consciousness. Accompanied by a impactful soundtrack representing each element. Your teacher BIO- Fayzah is a life long dancer, having trained in classical dance from an early age. She later had a full professional dance career out of New York City, where she danced in several Dance Companies, and toured worldwide as an invited solo artist. Fayzahs love for different types of music led her to discover the dance styles that sprung from these musical genres, including various world music, funk styles, african, and latin, to name some. Being of mixed race and ethnicity, and having grown up in three different continents speaking multiple languages, informed her global perspective, as well as coming from a family with a strong artistic lineage. Fayzah's genre bending dance classes are brought to you after many dedicated years of learning several dance styles in their pure forms, before mixing. Traveling to, and living in the countries of origin where these dance styles came from, has brought her additional understanding and appreciation. Aside from dance, she is an accredited Self Development & Wellness educator. At times this combines with dance, and other times presented as separate educational content. She loves guiding her class participants in bringing out their own unique expression.

This is an invitation for dancers of any style & novices alike, to expand your personal expression within your own dance. Make the music bounce into the 3D, get supernatural, & ride the groove. Express yourself by developing your Dance Toolkit to include illusions, gesture, glides, popping techniques, pelvic & torso rotations, accents, and more. Where rhythm, waving, beats, and isolations meet. Load up on funk, flavor, and spice. Your teacher: BIO- Fayzah is a life long dancer, having trained in classical dance from an early age.
