Meet Vee - the professional make-up artist that does "BatSheva's" make-up........You are in for a treat

Learn the fundamentals of stage makeup

Stage makeup is important in a Middle Eastern dance performance because facial expressions are an integral part of the dance. Learn to repaint your facial features extra big, extra bright, and extra dark, to create an optical illusion such that your face appears "normal" and visible from great distances and under bright lights.

She is a member of the Women of Selket Middle Eastern Dance Troupe and currently teaches for the School of Latin Ballet in Glen Allen and forHanover County. She specializes in isolation technique and likes to fuse traditional bellydance movements with movements from other dance styles.

Class Description:

Classy Arms and Hands. Many dancers have difficulty with arms and hands. They just don't know what to do with them! But beautiful arms and hands makes a dancer look polished and graceful. For this class, Alaena will focus on the three areas of space which surround the body in which arms and hands can be used effectively. There will also be discussion on ways to use arms and hands both for classic oriental style and for folkloric style. Examples of arm and hand movements and how to add them to other body movements will be covered.
