DIPIKA VIJAY
INDIA
One movement = one word
Each word adds to the body of technique and awareness. Solid fundamentals make an amazing dancer. Understanding personal range of motion (ROM), movement potential and capacity, tools to work on flexibility, strength, and sequences to overcome deficiencies in daily practice are also part of this workshop.
Marrying Indian - God is in the fusions
Fusions are born from curiosity and love for craftsmanship. Let’s tell stories of romance and play through little combinations inspired by the vocabulary of ancient Bollywood, Indian folklore and classical dance along with belly dancing. Drama, flirtation and an open heart to enjoy learning thoroughly!
Booty on Beat
Precise and strong hip work makes a belly dancer very attractive. Precise locks, clean 3/4 hips, juicy falls, big turns, firm and loose swings are the basic elements of a powerful dance.
Stack it Up! Layer Mani
Stacking or superimposing means to place one movement on top of another, whether it be two very different body parts or the same one. We will superimpose locks, flowing mayas, taqseems, circles and some unusual body parts in expansive postures, crazy feet and fluid arms.
The Dirty & The Divine - Dipika’s style of belly dance
Strength, delicacy and energy are what makes dance fascinating. Special effects and stylization add the oomph. I have been told that strong feminine energy, animal instinct, grace and delicacy are the elements evident in my style. My mantra is strength, determination and grace. It shows in different ways in my work. Let’s explore orgasms, sugar and sprinkle some glitter.
