Action Extraction - Cues From Choreography 10am - 12pm

How many times have you taken a workshop with a 5 minute choreography? How many times do you remember the choreography? That's what we thought - we don't remember them either! This workshop is designed to help you pull out choreography moves that you want to tribalize! Learn how to identify the beginning, middle and end of the move and ideas on HOW to end them. Use this skill to create moves from your favorite Belly Dancing DVDs!!!

What you can expect from us:
• wacky, experienced, safety oriented teacher(s)
• workshop notes detailing what you will learn
• basic movements broken down into details
• break down combos created from basic movements
• the occasional screw up of right and left
What we expect from you:
• you will protect yourself from getting hurt
• you will bring water
• you will inform the teacher of any injuries that may interfere with any movements
• you will bring a positive attitude, open mind and patience for the occasional screw up
• you will enjoy yourself!

Down n' Dirty - The Ups and Downs of Floorwork 1pm - 3pm

Want to know how Hipnotic really gets down? Down N' Dirty will give you ideas on how to get down, get up and all the fun (and funny) stuff in between. This workshop will give you new ways to get down and up and cover creative floor movement. Don't be afraid of the floor. It won't bite. But we might!
Are you ready to get dirty?

What you can expect from us:
• wacky, experienced, safety oriented teacher(s)
• workshop notes detailing what you will learn
• movements to get down to the floor (passing out is NOT an option)
• movements to do when you get down there
• movements that move you around on the floor
• movements to get up from the floor
• aching thighs and a happy disposition
• a lot of fun, laughs and smiles
What we expect from you:
• you will protect yourself from getting hurt
• you will bring kneepads and water
• you will inform the teacher of any injuries that may interfere with any movements
• you will bring a positive attitude, open mind and possibly deodorant
• you will enjoy yourself!

You're playing at Your Inner Vagabond! Wow! They used to run a coffeehouse of that name at Pennsic War, and I loved it. I wanted to dance there, and tell lots of Turkish folktales. But I haven't gotten back to the War in years, and I don't think they're running a coffeehouse there anymore... Tell them they have a ...pining fan in Bloomington, Indiana! Speaking of which, when are you going to play here?Read More

Same folks and, yes, they still run a coffeehouse at Pennsic. We would love to play Bloomington again! We just need to find a venue.

I had gotten the impression they weren't doing the Pennsic coffeehouse any more--they weren't mentioned on the website. Well, we didn't get to go this year anyway. I'll just try harder for next year.
I also have a Bloomington venue idea, which I've mentioned before, but will do a bit more follow-up...

They've officially sold their coffeehouse--it's now called the Cafe Istanbul, so that may have something to do with it.

Yes--I need to follow up on that Bloomington venue as well--thanks so much for all the help, with luck we'll be playing B-ton regularly soon! :D
