Alaena has been dancing and teaching in the Richmond area for over 20 years. 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.
