FOR EXAMPLE 1 HOUR SECTIONS WITH EACH SECTION UTILIZING MOVES AND TECHNIQUES OF A DIFFERENT CHARACTER.  FOR EXAMPLE:
-- TRANCE WINGS- using trance movements like zar and whirling where the wings are so attractive
-- DARK WINGS- eerie moves to accompany gothic-like grotesque characters
-- WILD WINGS- like a bird fighting or after prey
-- SPANISH FLAIR- using wings with the style of a flamenco dancer with a shawl or a toreador with his cape
-- FLOORWORK WITH WINGS- learning how to maneuver wings on the floor

* --CHOREOGRAPHY TO ICE QUEEN FROM THE BDSS ALBUM

* -- "WILD" WINGS-- CHOREOGRAPHY FROM THE AMAZON AND THE SORCERESS-- (A departure from the typical 'floaty' cabaret use of wings, Ayshe will share stronger, aggressive movements that can be done with wings to express more impassioned and unbridled emotions-- Also useful for the darker moods of tribal and gothic styles.)
*-- MAKE YOUR OWN REQUEST

 
OTHER TOPICS OF CHOREOGRAPHIC WORKSHOPS:

Ayshe will show how to blend these together into a dramatic, spellbinding performance.)
