Luna I.T.S. (Intermediate+)

Luna Improvisational Team Sync, also known as a uniquely collaborative style of fusion belly dance has seen an explosion of avid fans on an international level.  Since 2006, Saskia has been developing her own take on I.T.S. The uniquely modern dance form is based in group-synchronized improvisation, utilizing a shared movement vocabulary. Cues, moves, transitions, and leadership theory will all be explored and drilled extensively, alongside universal “stall” moves and Luna movement combinations. Watch your spatial awareness, confidence and connectivity with the dancers around you increase exponentially through this improvisational form of dance. 

Proficiency in vertical hip figure 8’s, undulations, amis/interior hip circles, chest circles, and 3/4 shimmies are required prerequisites for this class. If in doubt, just ask! Warning, this dance form is not only great exercise but also highly addictive. Suitable for 18+
