| Zamora's teaches an Ancient Arabic style of belly dancing (as opposed to modern Egyptian). All dancers learn specific moves and forms from the entire Middle Eastern region. They learn the structure of the dance through the moves which then provides them with a solid foundation on which to draw while performing. That means that each piece performed by Zamora's students will be a new creation. The selections are not choreographed. Zamora's students are trained to dance from the soul, each student with their own unique free style. Students are also taught how to listen to music in order to allow it to guide them, thus eliminating the need to choreograph. Students are taught so that a deaf person could see the music in dance. Dancers respond to sound with a movement that depicts it. Dancers also fragment steps to depict punctuation to follow instrument and vocal inflection. |
