Tribal Fusion Drills and Solo Improv

Yoga warm up, then we'll do at least 45 minutes of Tribal fusion drills on locks, pops, arms, glutes etc to work on technique and presision. Each week we will also work on either mini choreograpies or solo technique. Based on the needs and desires of class we may do some full length choreographies also. I have plenty of yoga mats, so bring your own if you want, but borrowing is fine also. This class is good for experienced beginner to intermediate level dancers. This is a fast paced class that doesn't spend a lot of time breaking down drills. We keep the pace moving and get a great workout while refining our technique.

$10 per class, drop ins are fine.

Super Basics of Tribal and Tribal Fusion

Beginning level class that focus on just a few moves each session. We will diagnose the muscles used to execute them properly and drill them extensively. This is a slow paced class that I am just starting. The focus is on making sure people really understand mayas, taxims, umis, shimmies, and other core moves. This is also a great time for intermediate level dancers to slow things down and really focus on a specific aspect of their technique.

~Tayissa teaches private and semi private classes in her home studio in West Seattle.

Classes are typically 1 to 1 1/2 hours and include a brief yoga stretch, drills, and focus on studen specific goals. Classes combine drills of basic movements with combination and layering techniques to not only reinforce muscle memory but to also achieve the straightening and toning of muscles. Short choreographies and training in improvisation style dancing are emphasized. Tayissa believes in tailoring classes to the students, modifying terminology and style to meet the needs of every student. Because break downs of movements are essential, emphasis on technique and healthy posture are taught.
