WORKSHOP: The Popping Princess Edenia has a kick-ass workshop .....POP, TICK, HIT DRILLZZ WITH EDENIA!
.....

Popping is centered around the technique of popping (or hitting), which means to quickly contract and relax muscles to create a jerking effect in the body. Stronger pops normally involve popping both the lower and upper body together. Edenia is going to show you some of her personal drills that you can mix with Belly dance. We will start with an upper body warm up, then we will begin popping drills such as arm pops, leg pops, chest pops..'..and add in Belly dance drills also! Combos will be taught. Some belly dance experience is required this is an all Levels workshop bring dance shoes or socks. Get ready to sweat.

WHY???? BECAUSE YOU WANT TO 'GET DOWN' WITH YOUR BAD SELF ( or at least watch others explore their Dark Side ).
