UPDATE:  This event has been cancelled. Sponsored by Pamela, Ranya will teach a drum solo workshop and shimmy clinic in Victoria, BC, Monday, March 12, 6:30-9:45pm (doors open at 6:15).

Fearless Drum Solo

Learn foolproof on-the-spot choreography strategies during an improvised drum solo, using Ranya’s “Riff Framing” whole-body technique to look polished and confident even when you don’t know what is coming.

Shimmy Clinic

Ranya the Shimmy Doctor welcomes you to her Clinic, to help diagnose whatever might be getting in the way of your free and powerful shimmy, and lead you through exercises and drills across the range of shimmy options! We’ll work with points of origination of the shimmy in the body, hips, legs, use of butt and pelvic floor muscles, shimmying on flat feet, up on toes, weighted, unweighted, weight shifting, layering movements over shimmies, and adding a touch of shimmy to spice up your movements. We’ll use music that complements shimmies, with guidance on how to apply shimmies and vibrations to accompany different instruments and rhythmic tempos. You’ll learn techniques to free your shimmy through breathwork, stretching, and mental relaxation training. The Doctor knows that the shimmy experience is not the same for all body types, so she’ll give pointers for working with what you’ve got, whether you are tight or loose, slim or juicy, or somewhere in between. This workshop lays the groundwork so you can build your personal shimmy practice with no shame and no apologies! Be prepared for a fun combination of shimmy workout and shimmy spa relaxation.
