| Yasmina's 10th Annual Fusion Day |
“Peculiar, Eccentric, Strange, and Bizarre: Your Twin Muse” -
with Diosa, 3 - 4:30 p.m. |
Welcome to the mysterious world of gritty reverb sounds, deep wobbles, and more! Learn a choreography that will have you thinking outside of the “music box” and embracing the unconventional riffs in alternative music. Join me for a whimsical, ominous workshop that will invoke your inner menace and playfulness.
This dance is meant to be performed with dual masks, so bring one or two if you would like to “sample”, though masks are not required. This workshop can be tailored to any level, yet some basic dance experience will be beneficial.
workshop is 1 1/2 hours - $15 |
| About the Instructor |
Diosa is an award-winning Phoenix-based dancer who has danced in the Valley-area since 2001. She fuses eclectic, electro music with her Egyptian Cabaret roots, enchanting audiences with her colorful double veils in Egyptian Cabaret, her energetic style in "Bellywood", her pop-and-locks in Belly Hop Fusion, and her experimental pieces for unconventional-themed shows.
Her foundations led her to join Danah’s Arizona Belly Dance Troupe and Ava Fleming’s Black Opal, both based in Egyptian Cabaret. Branching out to other fusion troupes such as Melissa’s Unity in Motion and K-Lee’s Natium Tribal Dance, Diosa discovered her niche. She placed runner-up in the Fusion Category at Bellydancer of the Universe in 2004. She continued to take many workshops with master instructors such as Suhaila Salimpour, Jillina, and Rachel Brice. As a local instructor, Diosa taught foundations, choreography, strength training, and aerobic fitness for the City of Surprise, Luke Air Force Base, Synergy Center, Gold’s Gym, Naturally Women Fitness Centers and more.
By day, Diosa is a Visual Arts teacher for 7-12th grades at a school in the West Valley, mother of two NAU graduates, wife to her handsome husband of 22 years, and pet parent to a menagerie of animals. By night, Diosa is the director and choreographer of The Desert Flowers and Osiris. They perform at local festivals and fairs, as well as events such as the Wild Wild West Steampunk Convention and Phoenix Fan Fusion. Diosa also teaches at her home studio where she holds troupe rehearsals, choreography crams, private lessons and drill classes. Her newest venture is taking on the role of Publisher of Shimmy Magazine, and she is always looking for contributors to extend their knowledge and experiences.
As a teacher, performer, and lifelong-student, Diosa’s mission is to nurture her love of dance with kindred spirits through energetic movement, audience connection, and innovative dance interpretation. |
