A different kind of workshop
I made a try with a different kind of dance. It was a great experience although few things made it less than perfect. I'm still about to delicate myself mostly for flamenco, but I guess that soon I will take few more times workshops of this if I could.
The reasons that I remind it:
- I still remember that I have regular classes of flamenco to write about, but.... One more thing that makes it wait a little longer.
- This workshop still have few things with a connection to flamenco but it isn't flamenco. It also has a lot with belly dances. A big difference.
- Although I told the dancer who gave it (the wonderful Sophie Armoza) that I dance flamenco and never told her my level - she understood somehow that I'm a flamenco teacher. She even told the other girls in the workshop that I'm a flamenco teacher. Accept that she does seem amazing - not only talented, she has a lot of knowledge and sense of humour. It all shown up in the workshop.
And the style was Gipsy-Turkish style of dance. First time in my life... Sophie was right about one thing with me: the fact I'm dancing for years, no matter it's a different style it will make it easier for me and would help me to understand better. So yes, most was easy for me. I understood all. The only thing that was difficult for me at the technique was the part which is very close to belly dances (the belly "jumping"). Other girls who dance closer things had more problems than I did.
And of course - Sophie was right about one thing. She knows that flamenco is gipsy. She said that it will be good for me to see a different way that gipsies developed to. So, I could see a lot of similar things accept the difference. One of the things which was very bright to my eyes was watch over the beat. All is good as long as you keep the beat. And the counting. At flamenco it goes on 12 and the gipsy Turkish is 9, but there is a counting with special bit on some parts, "gone sounds" and "feeling" one. At the basic beat that Sophie was teaching the beat stops and need to show off more were 1,3,5,7,8. The 9 you have to feel. It kinda remind me a llamada in flamenco.
Sophie uploaded to Facebook two photos that all girls made with her in the end. I'm there at the middle. Here it is:
