Belly Dance Workshops with Isidora in Durango, Colorado.
Workshop 1 Sizzling Stage Presence Saturday, June 8th 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Durango Arts Center
You know those dancers who rivet an audience's attention to the stage from the moment they enter to their final kiss-and-bow? It's not the fact that they are drop-dead gorgeous professional performers with the "perfect" body. Many are not. Some of them are enthusiastic beginners; some are grandmother-age hobbyists with arthritis and a belly full of stretch-marks; some couldn't memorize a choreography to save their lives. But we can't keep our eyes off of them. Come explore the whys and hows of this enigmatic art: stage presence.
