Originally from Argentina, Leandro fell in love with bellydance at an early age. Argentinian dancer, teacher and choreographer with more than 20 years in dance. He trained with Amir Thaleb and became a teacher at his school. He has also studied at the UNA (Argentine National University) as a postgraduate in choreographic composition.
We have workshops Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning giving you time to travel. If you are joining us from afar you only need one nights accommodation. Click on the workshop names to book. Want to do it all? Save money and book on our Superstar package. As part of our superstar package you will also receive a 1 hour online class with the group choreography we will perform with Leandro on the evening. I am very excited about this.
In this class you will work on veil technique and fluidity brining a virtuoso quality to this wonderful element. An ideal class to work on speed and flow in both technique and movement.
Get ready to connect your emotions with both the music and your veil, creating a very special feeling to your dance.
Latin Drum solo
Percussion with Latin fusion: Salsa, Samba and ChahCha movements.
A class with a Latin flavour.
In this class you will learn about different Latin moves in ballroom context and then apply them to your drum solo. Fusing the Arabic and Latin will create a unique and inspiring performance.
Get ready to move your hips and spice up your body.
Romantic Oriental
Using a lyrical and romantic pop song, this choreography will portray beautiful flow and emotion. In this class you will work on stylised technique, legs and arms and the fluidity of the torso. You will explore possibilities to project energy and emotion through your body. Immerse yourself in dance this Sunday morning.
