BEGINNER COURSE OVERVIEW - with The Alay'nya Studio

By completing the Beginner's Course with the Alay'nya Studio, you will gain:

  • 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 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 Beginner's Course will give you exposure to musical styles, motifs, and rhythms, along with starting zills (metal finger cymbals) and veil play.
