Paola to Present Four Workshops at WAMED 2007

I am thrilled to teach at the upcoming WAMED festival in Perth, Australia xthis June. For more information, visit Keti’s site at

I will be presenting four workshops; see below.
Water Movement
  Exploring the physical, emotional and spiritual properties of water. I have developed several sequences that use undulations, arms, and mayas to express the flowing continuity of this element. They can be linked together as a full choreography, or used interchangeably as a moving meditation.
Balkan Gypsy
  Using Balkan Kolo steps as a way to structure a fun, non-threatening group belly dance in a circle! Taking liberally from my Macedonian heritage, I’ve put together a lively, fun, and easy-to-learn dance perfect for haflas or parties. All levels.
Tchiftetelli
  Using Duncan Dance principles, an evocative Tchiftetelli that reaches for the Earth, stars and soul. Geometric Shapes, poignant gestures, and mythic imagery combine in a piece full of emotional complexity.
Arabo-Flamenco
  Fusing steps learned in Flamenco with Raqs Sharqi in a lively dance to “Salama Ya Salama” performed by Alabina. Skirt-swishing, proud postures, and dramatic sequences illustrate this lovely song dedicated to the cause of Peace.
