The Blooms & the Bees with Brenna Crowley - 8 Week Performance Project
Prepare for adventure into a garden of gorgeous blooms with their little helpers! This 8 week theatrical performance project will take the process of pollination and spin it into a fun and entertaining belly dance choreography set to the music of none other than Tom Jones! Vibes are Bridgerton meets Las Vegas; we’re going for glamorous, cheeky, and delightfully over-the-top! Be warned, things will get silly and you will learn more about pollination than you ever bargained for!
Props such as veils and/or fan veils may be used. This project is designed for dancers at an advanced beginner and intermediate level or above.
Attendance: You’ll receive weekly video tutorials to support your practice at home, but these are meant to complement - not replace - class time. To be part of the performance, please plan to attend all sessions, unless we’ve made special arrangements in advance. If you miss two or more classes, it may affect your ability to participate in the show.
Students will have the opportunity to perform this choreography at the Bellyqueen School Summer Showcase on Saturday, July 18th.
