Discordia and Bellymuse present Donna Mejia and The World of Bellydance

Workshop/Show
Donna Mejia Intensive and Show – September 25-26, 2010
Greenville, SC


To see Donna dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI1PkCMVtOI


"In addition to the awesome workshops by Donna, Saturday evening plan to attend the first of many professional Belly Dance shows hosted by BellyMuse and Discordia at the Warehouse Theater in downtown Greenville. This show will not only feature the outstanding talent of Donna Mejia but will also include world famous talent such as Onca from the Mezmer Society, Asharah, Natalie Brown, Mahsati Janan, Asim, Ananda Dance Co. and your very own Bellymuse and Discordia.

This workshop re-visions the practice of fixed feet and unmoving isolations to an exploration of dynamic traveling progressions. Donna Mejia will present a stimulating class involving strong cardio/pulmonary engagement, firestorm drills, short moving combinations across the floor, and bi-directional/asymmetrical use of the limbs. This workshop may be best suited for dancers with at least 2 consistent years of experience in Near Eastern dance. However, adjustments and accommodations will be plentiful for participants with less experience. Athletic attire will work best, and optional footwear (flat dance shoes) may be helpful for those with sensitive feet."

Oogie Boogie’s Song by Danny Elfman

Choreography by Clara and Victoria

Time	Action	Count
	Opening: Dancers stand limp, facing each other but with heads down and arms by sides.
0.00 – 0.09	Hip drop for six counts (use hip facing audience). Circle hip to the back, up, around. (you should have time to do the entire movement twice)	8 counts
0.09 – 0.12	cue at a soft music change Look at audience while continuing the above hip movements twice more through.
0.13 – 0.17	Following right shoulder, turn completely around; end up facing the audience. Funky rock-step. FUNKY ROCK-STEP: rock weight forward while undulating, then step back, weight on other foot, completely the undulation. Point the toe on the foot with no weight.
	Well, well, well… Hips push R, L, R
	What have we here? Undulate up
	Santy Klaws, huh? Both arms reach high above head
	Ooo, I’m really scared! Maya
	So you’re the one everybody’s talkin’ about, HA! Pivot step forward, back, forward, back, and then PREP for next move. PREP: outer arm towards audience, inner arm up (should look like an “L” shape)
0.3	You’re joking, you’re joking Maya 2x while stepping back
	I can't believe my eyes Seaweed down half-way
0.35	You're joking me, step out maya, body facing audience
	you gotta be step out again, body facing back
	This can't be the right guy! Undulate down
0.39	He's ancient hip bump in
	He's ugly hip bump out
	I don't know which is worse. Turn following inner shoulder, facing audience, then hip bump inwards on 'worse'
	I might just split a seam now if I don't die laughing first. Dip with arms straight out facing other dancers in group *If soloing, I suggest having arms face straight towards audience
0.48	Mr Oogie Boogie... body facing audience, step outward to the side with maya; inner arm sliding across neck, outer arm straight up
	...says there's trouble close at hand. Quick side-to-sides (5x) in place. Hips should alternate on each syllable: trou- -ble close at hand
0.52	You better pay attention now-- undulate upwards (body wave starting at hips) with a step forward
	Cos I'm the Boogie Man. Lean forward with shoulder and shoulder shimmy
0.56	And if you aren't shaking, bounce-step back two times while shoulder shimmying BOUNCE-STEP: With the foot that you are not putting weight on, you will push off from the floor and swing that foot behind the other foot. Do the same for the opposite. It looks just like hopping.
	There's something very wrong. Undulate down to your hips and hip shimmy
	Cos this may be the last time-- Change places with other dancers. *If soloing, just use this as a transitional spot
	You hear the Boogie Song. POSE!
1.05	Woahhhh. In group, have alternating dancers do mayas and snake arms. *If soloing, choose one.
	Woahhhh. Have your dancers switch up and do the opposite. (If one was doing snake arms in the last “Woah” have them do a maya for this one.) *If soloing, do the other move. :)
	Woahhhhh! Do a full body undulation with arms snaking forward FULL BODY UNDULATION: as chest moves forward, the arms are brought up to shoulder height and roll forward. Arms fall as the undulation finishes in the abdominals.
	He's the Oogie Boogie Man. “Prance-step” closer to each other and forward. Dip knees down on “man” and pop back up instantly. PRANCE-STEP: Walk on the balls of your feet. Kick your legs to the back while you walk and put a bounce in your step. It should look like you are walking in heels.
1.14	Well, if I'm feeling antsy and I've nothin' left to do Undulate left 2x followed by a shoulder shimmy, and a left hip pop
1.18	I might just cook a special batch of snake-and-spider stew. Undulate left 2x followed by a shoulder shimmy, and a left hip pop
1.23	And don't you know the one thing-- Large side-step undulations to the right (2x) with an exaggerated left leg kick to transition weight to other side.
	--that would make it oh-so-nice? Side-step undulation to the right (2x)
1.27	A roly-poly Santa Klaws to add a little spice. Umi 3x Roly Poly Santa Full body undulation up, right hand following the undulation then flaring out to audience on “spice.”
1.31	Woahh. Half hip circle to the back, moving left
	Woahhhh. Half hip circle to the front, going right
	Woahhhhh. Snake body away from each other SNAKE BODY: dive head downward to hip level then come on right back up. *If soloing, I suggest snake bodying in profile to audience or with back towards audience so they don't get any boob-action
	He's the Oogie Boogie Man. Fancy walk back to your respective places.
	Release me now or you must face the dire consequences. Pretend you are bored with Santy Klaws.
1.48/49	The children are expecting me so please come to your senses--HA! Prep, then quick spin in spot, landing on “HA!” (Weight should be on inner foot; when spinning you should be able to stop yourself with your outer foot)
	You're joking! Bump inner hip outwards
	You're joking! Bump outer hip outwards
	I can't believe my ears! Funky Step
1.53	Will someone shut this fell-a up, Take 4 “hip” steps backwards, each hip accenting the hip bumps on: some shut fell up
	I'm drowning in my tears. Maya downwards, bending knees to make the movement appear larger.
1.58	It's funny-- Step out, facing front.
	--I'm laughing. Join feet back together.
	You really are too much. Point at your dancers—they really are too much! *If soloing, interpret this short segment anyway you want. You could tell the audience they are too much, or tell yourself that you are too much. :)
2.02	And now-- Prep for a bow: Leg straight out to the right, a pointed toe resting on the floor.
	--with your permission-- Bring pointed toe (and leg, that is important too) to your front. Bow on “permission.”
	I am going to do my stuff. Shoulder shimmy upward
	Well what are you going to do? Pause while Santa Klaws talks it up.
2.08	I'm gonna do the best I can. Very FAST: Hip tuck, release, tuck, chest pop, hip release, chest release, relax. (whew!)
2.1	Jazz Sequence:
	Slow turn to specific places	8 counts
	Link up your arms and do a can-can 2x	8 counts
	Ha! Yeah! On each trumpet, have individual dancers or groups of dancers to a quick spin away from each other. Face left, planting feet apart. Suggestion: It's kinda cute when you've got one pushing the other around. *If soloing, treat each sound of the trumpet as a transitional spin to where ever you need to go.	8 counts
2.26	Woaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. Mega hip shimmy, bringing audience hand down under hips, forward, and completely around behind you.
2.28	Kick on drums.
	The rolling sound of dice is music in the air. Undulate into a line-up.
	Cos I'm a gambling boogie man, although I don't play fair. Black Widow. BLACK WIDOW: Inner arm straight up above head, outer arm bent in under your chin. Pretend you are in a square and your elbow is facing on if its corners. Hip bump 2x to where you elbow is pointing. Switch arms so that your outer arm is straight up and your inner arm is bent and under your chin. You should be facing (just turn your head) towards the opposite corner in the square. Hip bump 2x. Switch arms again, except this time turn your body so your hips and elbow are pointing at another corner in the square. Hip bump 2x. Switch it up one more time, facing the last corner in the square. Hip bump 2x.	8 count
	It's much more fun, I must confess, Undulate 2 ½ times.
	When lives are on the line. Step to the R, bringing R hand quickly across the neck on “lives;” and then miming yourself pulling a hang-rope upwards. As you pull the “rope” up, your head should fall to the side, as if broken., on “line.”
	Not mine, of course Stay, motioning self.
	But yours, ol' boy. Hop back, pointing toe that has no weight on it. Point towards the audience as you hop back.
	Now that'll be just fine. Choo-choo back and plant your feet on “fine.” CHOO-CHOO: Very small, close-together quick steps.
2.46	Release me fast or you will have to answer for this heinous act! Casual left hip bounce.	8 Counts
	Oh, brother, Big step to the L, L arm reaching far	2 count (1 - 2)
	You're somethin' Big step to R, R arm reaching far	2 count (3 - 4)
	You put me in a spin Small turn in place	4 count
	You aren't com-pre-hending Undulate down
	The po-si-tion Hips bump L-R-L while bending knees a little further each time hip moves
	You-are-in. Hips move L-R-L again while standing right back up to basic position
2.59	It's hopeless, Left hand over forehead, palm outward, leaning back slightly. (For hokey-kicks, you should mimic hopelessness)
	You're finished, Collapse upper torso by simply slouching unattractively forward; turn profile while collapsing.
	You haven't got a prayer! Funky Step while torso is still collapsed.
	Cos I'm Mr. Oogie Boogie Still in profile. Hips bump L-R-L. L on “Mr” R on “Oogie” L again on “Boogie”
	And you Point towards audience.
	Ain't going Nowhere. Turn with back towards audience, slowly making way back to an agreed point.
3.1	Hip shimmy.
3.14	Collapse completely, having arms even drop down as far as they can go.
