TRIBAL FEST 9 Sebastopol, CA Workshop by Grace: Sacred Serpent Learn how to move like a serpent—Deviant style. The serpent is one of the most powerful symbols in the human psyche, and it is no accident that snakes are such a strong element in belly dance. In this workshop, we will address the singular, unmistakable quality of movement that a snake possesses. Instead of dancing with a live snake, we will embody the spirit of the serpent within ourselves, and slither! Here is a link to the registration page |
