Workshop: Thaís Carvalho

Class Description

PRISM Fusion Bellydance Festival Workshop Presented By Thaís Carvalho (QLD) CHOREOGRAPHY LAB: Kadioglu Zeybegi Kadioglu Zeybegi - Groove & Isolation Lab is a choreography workshop for the old-school lovers, the groovers, and the isolation nerds. Autoral Choreography created by Thais Carvalho with one of the Turkish classic songs from the legendary Okay Temiz “Kagioglu Zeybegi”. Instead of just “here’s the combo, let’s film”, dancers move through a creative process: groove drills, layered isolations, tension and release, plus a co-created section where the group helps build part of the choreography. Using some elements of Thais’ Six Pillars of Creation method, this class feels more like a living lab than a copy-and-paste choreo session. Dancers leave with a full piece and new tools to create their own. This session is built for: ● old-school fusion and tribal lovers ● people who enjoy juicy grooves and musicality ● dancers obsessed with isolations, layering and texture We break away from standard follow-me structure: ● a phase to explore shapes, accents and pathways from the track ● a phase to lock in the architecture of the choreography ● a phase to add intention, tension and clarity ● and a co-creation moment, where the group helps build a section of the piece together ​​SATURDAY NOV 7, 12:00PM- 2:00PM STYLE: Old School - Tribal Fusion Style LEVEL: Open ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR: Driven by a thirst for exploration and artistic growth, Thaís Carvalho began her dance journey at the age of three, taking classical ballet and theater classes.
