UNMATA au naturel
This multi-level workshop will outline two tribal fusion
combinations emphasizing technique and isolation. The first
combination will incorporate the building blocks of UNMATA's
modern bellydance style. The second combination will focus
primarily on the Hula Fusion nuance.
Each movement will be outlined within a tribal cueing system
so that it may be added to any troupe's choreography or
tribal vocabulary. Amy will describe and drill each individual
movement, then fasten them together into an accessible tribal
combo that will be practiced in useful group and duet
formations.
This workshop will be fun, fast, and furious. UNMATA believes
in beat-your-butt technical practice, so bring water and come
prepared to sweat.
HotPotTurboTribalTricks
Strap-on your jet-packs. In this workshop you'll get the skinny
on what happens when you let off a lot of steam while dancing really good, really fast. You'll learn and drill two original combos snatched directly from the Hot Pot Studio tribal vocabulary,
both equipped for improv and ready for show.
You will have fun. You will sweat. You will be inspired. And
after class when you're sore and on the floor, remember,
"Horsepower" is defined as work done over time. We just
teach you the tricks.
Sigil School
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the teaching format of Amy
Sigil in this interactive split session with UNMATA. In the first
half of class, Amy will share her experience, ideas, and dance
doctrines well as answer your questions. In the second
half of class, you will get on your feet for a Sigil School
whirlwind demonstration. Tag words: warm-ups, transitions,
music, mixes, tempo, choreography, common vocab, work,
craft, drill, team, time, counting, working backwards, notes,
repetition, fellowship, and yes, you will sweat!

Hafla suggested donation $10
We cannot advertise our haflas to the general public at the Dragon's Egg, so your donation helps support our local dance community and future events and workshops! Fees paid are non-refundable except in case of cancellation.
Accomodations
All Beds and Then some are currently occupied in the Egg. If you can bring your own mattress you are still welcome to stay in the studio, the fee still applies as this covers some breakfast and port-a-potty costs (our decorated port-a-potties are the best of the North-east!). please contact Katie.
Mystic is a tourist town, and as such there is a lot of nearby hotel accomodations, some of which may be expensive. We have found that more affordable options may be found in New London, Waterford, and Niantic (about 10-15 minutes from the Egg)
Mystic is served by Amtrack train. Also, there are various bus services to Foxwoods Casino which is only a few miles away.
