Students will be introduced briefly to the art of improvisation, with the opportunity to create short sections of the routine in the class, guaranteeing a unique final choreography. There will also be some discussion of basic Middle Eastern rhythms and students will have the opportunity to review articles and publications. Students who attend all 6 classes and added rehearsals may have the opportunity/option to perform the dance as a student piece in one or more of Amethyst’s future dance shows in Pittsburgh, including a big student show in Fall 2012.

and includes guest instructors as part of some of her programs, so students may become more well-rounded and educated as dancers.
