ADVANCED BEGINNER COURSE OVERVIEW - with The Alay'nya Studio

Throughout your first year of study, you will build on what you learned during your Beginner's (six or seven-week) introductory classes.

From time to time, we allow certain "Advanced Beginners" to meet concurrently with Intermediates for a "layered" instruction - enhanced "basics" , growing into more interesting patterns and greater internal awareness for those who have been with us for a while.

  • Knowledge of Basic Principles: Gorgeous posture, graceful carriage, feeling of increased vitalitiy, and look as though you've dropped ten pounds!.
  • Basic techniques and combinations: From fast to slow, from percussive to sensual, you will gain a solid grounding in the most basic "technique repertoire." This will let you learn a variety of dance routines, and even improvise with differet music.
  • Your first PERSONAL choreography: You will not only learn your first "dance routine," you will gain insights that you can use later as you develop your own unique, personal-to-you dances! Even your first dance will be something that you can perform for family and friends.

In addition, your Advanced Beginner's study will give you exposure to musical styles, motifs, and rhythms, along with starting zills (metal finger cymbals) and veil play.
