The Johara Dance Company
present their new show, "ELEMENTAL"
Sevenveils is supporting Johara Dance in a weekend of dance which includes the brand new stage show and five exciting workshops with teachers from The Johara Dance Company.
ELEMENTAL: The Show
 |
The Johara Dance Company will be bringing their new show "ELEMENTAL" to the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone on Saturday 28th February 2009. This marks the first stop in their tour which will travel the South of England during Spring 2009. There will be just one performance of the show in Kent and a limited number of tickets available, so I recommend booking early!
Johara Dance is a vibrant company whose shows blend Arabic Belly Dance with a rich mix of African Dance, Flamenco, Tango, Bollywood, Gypsy, Burlesque and more. You may already be familiar with Johara Dance through their performances at the International Bellydance Congress in 2007 where they performed a comedy "chav" stick dance, an elegant Oriental dance and a candle/fire dance with a difference!
This new show from choreographer Josephine Wise is a unique and compelling theatrical experience, ranging from the dramatic to the light-hearted.

10:30am to 12pm: Gypsy Dance / Zambra Mora with Jan Piggott
Jan Piggott is back in Aylesford after some very positive feedback from her day of workshops in April 2007, this time to ignite the fire of Gypsy dance in us! Her Zambra Mora is wonderfully free spirited and passionate with swishing skirts and stamping feet.
10:30am to 12pm: Fan Dance with Gwen Booth
Gwen has performed for Sevenveils in the Christmas Hafla last November and now returns to teach a workshop in the elegant art of fan dancing.
1pm to 2:30pm: Introduction to Burlesque with Harriet Gervasio
Harriet has also performed for Sevenveils at the Spring Hafla in 2007 where she danced her funky techno number to Turkish Delight! In recent years she has made a name for herself with her own unique blend of bellydance and burlesque. This workshop will be a fun introduction to the art of burlesque, demonstrating walks and poses. No nudity will be required, but feel free to dress up and bring high heels and any props you'd like to play with. Gloves and feather boas are highly recommended!
1pm to 2:30pm: Dancing To Drum Solo with Bree Malone (Zivah)
Bree has become quite a regular at Sevenveils events and is often mistaken for my twin! In this workshop she'll be sharing her tips for twitchy technique with sharp hits, pops and locks and shivering shimmies all to an energetic drum solo soundtrack.
3pm to 4:30pm: Introduction to Bollywood with Yvette Cowles
Yvette's Bollywood workshop was one of the highlights of the International Bellydance Congress in 2007 and I've had many requests to bring it to Aylesford. Bollywood dance is a pretty and feminine style from Indian movies.
Bazaar
There will be a bazaar running at the worshops, so bring cash or cheque books to make any costume purchases.
