Fusion Bellydancing Workshop with Anastasia Raskin

Anastasia took her first Fusion Bellydance class in 2006 with Amy Sigil at Hot Pot Studios in Sacramento, Ca. Anastasia fell in love with Fusion Bellydance and its contrast of soft & strong movements, articulate isolations, usage of muscle control and musicality, and its creative expression.

Since that first Bellydance Class, Anastasia has attended hundreds of hours of classes, workshops and intensives with dozens of instructors, including Amy Sigil, Zoe Jakes, Kami Liddle, Rachel Brice, Jill Parker, Ebony Qualls, Ariellah, and others. Anastasia began actively teaching and performing in 2015, and has had the opportunity to instruct and perform at events and venues throughout the West Coast.

In her day job as a massage therapist, Anastasia has familiarized herself with muscle groups and kinesiology, and applies her knowledge of anatomy and body mechanics to help her dance students safely and effectively execute movements. Anastasia loves igniting (or rekindling) a passion for dance in her students.

Includes:

Workshop: Fusion Bellydancing

On Saturday, May 14, join us for a behind-the-scenes look at our in-school artist residency programs. Teaching artist Bianca Patterson and education outreach director Emili Danz will lead you in an interactive afternoon of play that will provide uplifting fun for all ages and abilities.

What’s the discipline? That’s part of the fun — it’s a surprise (but as the title indicates…something musical)! Like all our in-school programs, this workshop prioritizes process over product: CLARA’s programs use the arts to build curiosity, resiliency, and confidence to try new things. We ask our kids to trust us, and we’re asking you to do the same. We can promise the program is accessible to all, and no one will be asked to do anything that makes them uncomfortable.

90-minute class begins shortly after 3pm. Light drinks and snacks will be served after class, so you can socialize with friends, CLARA staff, and others.

This event is free to friends of CLARA who donate over $100 to our organization through Big Day of Giving on Thursday, May 5.
