Tai Chi with John Keogh
|
Open
Tuesday 8 - 9.30pm £10 To book: taichikeogh@gmail.com or 07947 86 32 33 The Lam style Tai Chi Form is a flowing sequence of movements lasting from 7 to 8 minutes. During each class we will learn 10 to 12 moves. This Form is non competitive and everyone is encouraged to learn at their own pace. Tai Chi improves posture, coordination, balance and the flow of energy throughout the body. Tai Chi develops stamina, strength and suppleness, relieving tense muscles and stiff joints. The gentle movements make this practice an ideal form of stress free exercise for everyone regardless of age. It is a very effective and enjoyable kind of moving meditation, practised in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. John Keogh is a founder member of the Lam Tai Chi Association. |

Fusion bellydance is characterised by precise muscular isolations, strong posture, and embodied, body-positive self-expression. Classes cover posture and carriage, fundamental movements, isolations, turns, spins and travelling steps alongside stylisation, presentation, and the correct muscular actions required of strong technique whether sharp locks or serpentine slink.
Every block is designed to foster growth with the review and introduction of new movements each week to allow for progression and refinement of technique. Each class culminates in a perfectly formed slice of routine that over the weeks forms a short dance piece.
These classes are recommended for those in their first couple years of training in fusion regardless of prior bellydance background, as well as more experienced dancers looking to deeply refine technique and expression.
Please note there are no refunds or possibility to postpone classes unless cancelled. Spaces are limited so early booking recommended to secure your place. All and anyone welcome!
All you need to bring along is a bottle of water and whatever you feel comfortable to move in. Dancing barefoot is the norm for this style but please feel free to bring soft ballet slippers/dance shoes if you prefer.
Have to miss any classes during the block? No problem, you can make up for it with access to an online class recording. Just get in touch!
