FULL AGENDA

12:30pm-2:00pm
Beyond Technique: Playing with Energy in Belly Dance by Josephina Gasca. "The focus of this workshop is energy: how it moves through you, how to move it through you, and how to play with casting a net of energy to capture your audience's attention and to bring them close. We'll use moving meditation exercises to connect to that energy and work with our eyes and hands and the ways we use them to focus our audience's attention."

2:00pm-2:30pm
Break! Network, shop vendors, make friends.

2:30pm-4:00pm
