Move your body in ways you haven't moved before! Fusion princess Edenia Archuleta @edeniadancer will be teaching the following workshops at the #abdc2018
Body Control & Waves
Let’s make waves go through our bodies and fuse them into belly dance. Focusing on waving and body control, we will start with the basics and get a little advanced. Edenia will show you how to make smooth transitions with waving combos. We will break them down into sections to help understand how important it is to learn how to control these waves!

Skill level: All levels.
Friday, June 22, 2018 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Belly-Robots
Let’s get our Robot funk on. Begin with a basic intro to popping such as muscle contractions, arms pops, legs pops, and neck pops. Our main focus will be basic robot aka dimestop. Movements of the robot are normally started and finished with a dimestop (a very abrupt stop) which we will fuse it with bellydance. We will make it slow, weird, poppy and creepy. Edenia will also teach you some of her own daily drills and combos. Let's get funky!!! Skill level: All levels.
Saturday, June 23, 2018 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM
