Schedule
Friday, 21 July 2023
Workshop Description
Some brand new fusion bellydance combinations with a dark gothic touch specifically created for Gothla.UK that will be added to Valenteena's Karma Echoes collection.
These new Echoes can be used as a tool in choreographies, improvisation or in any way you desire! The Echoes form a vocabulary of combinations each of which has its name, counts and specific technique.
The goal of Karma Echoes is to provide new inspiration in your dance. Practice and using these combinations over the time will bring cleaning, fluidity and a better sense of musicality in Fusion Bellydance.

Workshop Description
I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle a pure clean technique, brew fluidity, sharp isolations and mind blowing layering ...which potion are we going to create today?
For every potion we'll need to select the right ingredients, combine them, boil them and add some final magic drops!
