Dance Level definitions:
Beginner Level is for one who has had little to no dance experience. If you have not taken
classes with me, I suggest that you take beginner level classes so I can see where you
are at and you can get to know me.
Intermediate Level is for students that have taken classes with me (weekly) for about 3
months. At this level I need to see clear execution and concept of hip drops, lateral hips,
hip lifts, top down undulations, some zil playing while moving, poly rhythmic hips to feet to hands, reverse undulations, intro. veils.
Advanced Level is all of the previous but with far deeper and deliberate muscle and fascia control, maturity as a dancer and person. Props: swords, veil, zils, cane, tambourine,
candles... Troupe harmony ...now that's tha' clincha ; )
"If you love what you do
then practice is pleasure and your work is a blessing.
This doesn't mean it's easy."
Lilya assists you in making your dance costume, as well as, creating your dance/dance
routine. If this interests you, come to one of her classes, connect, and lets get started.

In Memory of my Mum
