Saturday 10am-12pm Music and Movement with Phoenix of Denver
Combos and exercises to strengthen your zill technique. Phoenix approaches the zills from a different direction to help those that struggle with zills and expand ideas for more experienced zill players. Phoenix combines the drummer & dancer perspective when teaching zills. This allows the dancer to understand the music rather than memorize the pattern.
This is a workshop for all styles and levels. For beginners, this will help in understanding what you are doing with the music in terms of zills and movement. For more advanced dancers, this will help to expand your zill patterns and come up with new ideas on accenting the music. Learn new combos, exercises to challenge your zilling and utilize your own style/moves while gaining more confidence in with your zills.

Workshop for all levels of experience.

Choreography will be taught and includes presentation, combinations, musicality and drama . . . for the Drama Mama in all of us! Knowledge of basic isolations is recommended for this class.

Sunday 10am-12pm Tribal or Cabaret? Sharp to Slinky Combos with Phoenix
Join Phoenix to shimmy, slink, slither and shake up new combinations for your routines and
improvisational dance. The combinations will explore the similarities and differences between the
cabaret and tribal fusion styles. Phoenix will break down the movements and technique for the
combinations, give ideas for music to match the presentation and add a few fun surprises for the
audience. Along with combinations, learn to work with the music and engage your audience using
zill accents and patterns. The combinations will include slow-slinky, fast-energetic and drum
accents for a variety of ideas.


Note: Zills are not required but an option to add accents and an additional challenge for dancers.
Phoenix will review any zill patterns and give practice ideas for each pattern used.
