Spring Hafla | Sedona BellyDance

Saturday May 18
WORKSHOP WITH SHERRI WHEATLEY!
2-4pm SOLD OUT

Juxtaposition:
This workshop begins with specific drills and technique training. We then move on to short combinations expanding on our drills to include level and space orientation variances as well as more intermediate layering. As with all of Sherri’s workshops, we will also focus on the theatricality of movement and experimenting with breaks in the 4^th wall.

About Sherri
An avid disciple of Heather Stants from Urbal Tribal Dance Company, Sherri is distinguishable in her urban-influenced serpentine stylization, an interpretation that stylistically embodies something approaching bellydance contortionism in its muscle control. She is also an extremely physical dancer and can morph from one extreme physical state to the next in an instant.

In addition to performing as a soloist, Sherri finds creative inspiration in collaboration with other performers and dance companies. Her dedication, professionalism and superb artistry has earned her a principal role with previously Los Angeles based Desert Sin, a critically revered experimental bellydance theatre company with a cult following. She has also had the privilege of performing with other artistically acclaimed internationally performing groups such as Lucent Dossier Vaudeville Cirque (including Elon Musk’s 40th birthday party and Justin Bieber’s managers 30th birthday bash) Zen Arts, Atash Maya directed by Sabrina Fox and The Living Garden as “Slither.”
