The early bird deadline to get a significant discount was tomorrow, but I've decided to extend it two more weeks to the end of April. Let's call it the "Tax Season SUCKS Special" (Guess what I'm mailing off tonight?)

That's right! Two more weeks to get yourself signed up for the Zafira Immersion for the early bird price. To sign up, email me at folkfusionista (at) gmail.com!

The Collective Flow Experience
Zafira Dance Company Two-Day Immersion - June 22 & 23, 2009

Maria, Olivia & Christine, two days, fourteen hours of immersion into the detailed precision and expression that is Zafira Dance Company.

Flow occurs when the challenge is high, the skills are strong, and creative expression is open. The goal of the Collective Flow Experience is to provide a complete experience of the Zafira Dance Company’s dance philosophy, technique, and expression for the purposes of giving dancers tools and instruction on how to create their own authentic dance expression.

With material never before presented by Zafira, the immersion will incorporate the following topics:

* Skill Mastery and Practice (Drills, Isolation, Layering)
* Stylization, Folk and Ethnic Dance elements (Rajasthani, Vaudeville, and many more.)
* Building Blocks of Dance Performance
* Building combinations where moves and gestures flow together seamlessly
* Expression and Creation of Performance - Bringing it all together (Choreography, developing concepts, narrative and musicality)

This Immersion is restricted to about 15 people to allow for hands on, personal correction and instruction.

At the end of the Immersion, each attendee will receive a decorative certificate of completion.This Immersion is for experienced dancers who are familiar with intermediate-advanced moves.
