TECHNIQUE, BASIC STEPS & CONDITIONING
This class is geared towards the beginning or the more advanced bellydancer wishing to revisit and strengthen elementals. All classes contain a thorough warm up - to increase the student's power and flexibility - and a carefully balanced cool down. Tjarda’s Teacher-Assistants (TA) will focus on posture, basic steps, isolations, drills and layering: technique taught with a magic mix of solid knowledge and a good sense of humour. Inspired by the Suhaila and Jamila format, each session contains an own approach of teaching this fusion style to integrate core strength and dance movement to get you ready to dance.

CHOREOGRAPHY & DANCE MOVEMENT
Come and study contemporary bellydance with Tjarda. As the Artistic Director of The Uzumé she already won several prices for her innovative choreographies. Next to learning moves and Uzumé flavoured combo’s we will also be working on dance movement from other dance styles such as modern dance, flamenco, tango, mime, etc. to incorporate in your dance and to get to know more about the fusion in this bellydance style. Occasionally we will focus on creating our own combo’s and choreography. For the intermediate/advanced dancer, who is already acquainted with Tjarda’s training method.

PERFORMANCE CLASS
A class for dedicated intermediate/advanced students, who are already acquainted with Tjarda’s training method. Tjarda is well known for her innovative choreographies and has been teaching workshops across the globe to enhance her students own creativity with fun tips, tricks and games. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the ins and outs of creating your own choreography. Next to working on technique, dance movement and Uzumé flavoured combo’s, we will also dive into Tjarda’s dance philosophy and working method. Being taught by Tjarda means attention is given to musical interpretation and expression. So no one enters this class without being challenged to input in a safe environment. Tjarda hands out the tools, but she wants the students to build their individual styles with her. Be prepared to work hard and willing to grow. Only students who participate in Tjarda's “Choreography & Dance Movement” class and have intermediate or advanced level can enter the performance class. (This class will perform at The Uzumé’s hafla’s.)
