    Seduce Your Hunny 'Forbidden Belly Dance' Veil Routine with Sonya
    Sunday, Jan. 24th from 12-3pm
    $30 ($35 at the door)
    Pre-Register by 9pm on Thursday, 1/21
    Limited to 12 students

    "...The Earth delights to feel your bare feet and the Wind longs to play with your hair..." - Kahlil Gibran
    Finally! A workshop where the goal is to be playful and emote in a seductively stylish way! Take all that belly dance training & give the St. Valentine's gift that cannot be returned, nor would it want to be! Sonya will present a short and relatively simple routine with a 3 yard sheer silk veil that is meant for *your Hunny's eyes only* packing the show with not the most difficult moves, but moves with attitude and coyness, being sweet yet sharp, bold but with humor. This workshop is for all levels, impressing that the delivery has just as much impact as the message itself!
    Participants should have an understanding of fundamental belly dance movements to get the most out of this workshop. All steps will be broken down for technique; however the goal is to learn the veiled routine. You will not be removing clothing. Notes and MP3 is included in workshop price; a variety of veils will be available for purchase. You may wear typical belly dance class attire; however feel free to dress up with the addition of a long/full skirt. (Please note that wearing velvet or coins tends to make the veil stick to you, so perhaps avoid it for this class.) Email Sonya for questions or concerns on this workshop's content.
