Has anyone here done a tribal workshop? (rachel's in particular?) How is that on your arms??
Ummm, ive mostly been acquainted with Turkish and Egyptian styles of dance, im very comfortable w/ those arms.I also will hold my arms in in a different yet correct position when i get tired....which brings us to the question at hand-tribal arms. Yeah , i sound like such a newbie but i only really know the one basic tribal arm position-elbows up arms to the side and its very hard on me.I totally want my soft wide "w" arms,lol. I have soooo much trouble. Im not strong enough for these consistently throughout a class, so i literally put down my arms and shake them out when i tired, and go right back at it, since no alternate positions have been taught-and since strength building may be the instructors point
Ive been doing some privates w/ a teacher certified by Rachel Brice and my other class we often do the basic tribal arms as well. My other instructor who gives a class where she also touches on tribal (educating mostly) per request. I haven't paid much attention to it at all in all of my massive researching and BD browsing.
So to call me a newbie-or even non tribal is accurate, however, i am thirsty for BD knowledge so i am totally excited that Rachel brice is holding a workshop 5 minutes from my house-like i would miss that!!....What to do about those arms?
Can anyone point me in a decent youtube link describing tribal arm postions well in really simple terms...i know rachel has the dvd, i dont have time to order it and dont have net flix.
Can anyone give me a run down, or somewhere to look for a quick crash course, and while yes im sure ill get one there-i am one who likes to be prepared. I just never really thought id do anything much w/ the style and now am like "yelp!". She's an awesome performer so id like to be prepared as i can and enjoy the opportunity.
p.s. no im not attending the intermediate/advance classes,lol.
