Are You Struggling In the Improvisation Deep End?
Many dancers are frustrated by improv, and it’s no wonder!
Most instructors teach belly dance improvisation by telling their students to “just do it” in class.
Throwing someone in the deep end of the pool may teach them to swim, but it will also teach them to hate swimming!
The Improvisation Toolkit DVD series starts you off in the shallow end.
We’ll use practical, step-by-step exercises to develop the most fundamental (and often neglected) skills needed for improvisation, so you can gradually let go of the pool wall, and head into deeper and deeper water without fear.
Even if you’ve tried before and given up, you can learn the skills you need to improvise with confidence.
Volume 1: Movement Recall
Without choreography, you have to think of movements on the fly, but still leave enough of your brainpower free to focus on other aspects of your performance.
Volume 2: Structure
Nothing bores an audience faster than scribbling! In order to keep them engaged but not overwhelmed, you need to put your movements together in a logical, structured way. Your audience can’t appreciate your artistry if they can’t follow your train of thought!
Where to Start
The Improvisation Toolkit is a step-by-step system.
Even if you already have improvisation experience, it’s important to begin by building strong movement recall skills.
Otherwise, the other skills you learn won’t come to you easily in the moment.
So I strongly recommend that you begin with Volume 1.
