Poi Fire Dancing Beginning Group Performance Boot Camp


Course Overview


Spring 2007 Intermediate Moves & Beginning Group Performance Boot Camp is a 16 week intensive program for intermediate students and beginning performers focused on several areas of development. The program meets 80 - 160 minutes per week with different areas of focus for each session. Poilates sessions are focused on the meditative qualities of poi and generating movement from the core of ones body. Intermediate moves and drills classes are focused on augmenting ones skills technically with poi. This will include the skills most relevant for each student at their current level of development as well as specific work on wall plane work. Performance sessions are focused on developing performance presence and character while choreography sessions are dedicated to creating and practicing the group performance piece for the Temple of Poi 2007 Fire Dancing Expo. Assessment and individual study sessions, along with 2 half hour private sessions with GlitterGirl (to be scheduled on one of the tuesday evenings not scheduled for a late class) are designed to analyze individual needs of the students and work on the areas of development most relevant for that student.

Testimonials

"The part that really resonates for me is that by accepting myself I am releasing the energy of judgement so that I can make a change based on discernment, rather than judgement."
~R. Benmeleh; July, 2006

Body Love
inspired by the workshop

"I run my hands over my body
feeling soft spots, hot spots
hard spots, cold spots
sensation on both ends
the part that is touching
and the part being touched
it is a double reward
that no one can give you
but yourself
self-love
the price is facing one's own fear
and loathing
some that we are born with
some that is handed to us after we are born
by someone else
on a platter covered with their own shit
But to see
smell
hear
touch
and taste
one's own self
the sour and the sweet
and have a small smile form
on the face
from the joy and pleasure
from it
is priceless"

~S. Astarte; July 2006
