Through the “Mejance”, dancers can showcase their technical skills, musicality, and emotional expression.

Latin Bellydance Fusion by Angel Bellydance

Bring the FIESTA to your Bellydance!
Angel will utilize some of the most basic steps in Latin Dance and fuse these steps into a sassy Bellydance combo. We will also discuss how to identify the Latin rhythm(s) used in this workshop. Identifying rhythms in Latin dance is just as important as identifying various rhythms in Bellydance (Latin rhythms and steps include Salsa, Cha-Cha-Cha, Merengue, Rumba, Samba, and more).

Both of Angel’s Latin and Bellydance techniques are quite useful for all dancers who wish to be more versatile and wish to achieve that “polished” look we all desire in our dancing such as elegant posture, sharp isolations, clean arm stylizations, basic shimmies, easy to follow traveling steps, drills and combos.
Bring your water and towel and be prepared to sweat!
