WORLD DANCE: Maria comes as a guest instructor to your studio bringing a basket of beautifully colored sarongs and introduces the basics of traditional Hula from Hawaii, hand mudras and dance steps from across India and simple movements from North Africa (belly dance). This is an excellent treat for students of ballet and modern.
DANCE AND MOVEMENT: Private sessions for individuals, couples, parent and child, teachers, performers, those recovering from grief or regaining physical strength. We begin with a restful meditation and proceed to stretch the back and neck, the torso and limbs. The music and dancing is tailored to the needs of each individual or couple.
VOICE WORK & COACHING: Private sessions for students, actors, teachers and public speakers. Beginning with a guided meditation, the vocal warm-up is the Primordial Sound Technique, a Vedic method that helps to create a richer and more resonant voice. We continue with extensive word work. Actors and students may bring monologues.
MEDITATION AND STILLNESS: For those who want to experience serenity, learn how to maintain a peaceful mind and how to create a tranquil atmosphere. This is an introduction to conscious deep breathing, slowing down the mind and the Vedic practice of Homa. ~ (www.homatherapy.org)
