TEACHER APPROVAL IS REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS!

Expanding technique with skirtwork, fans, and expressive Arabic Spanish styling.

Level Two invites dancers to step deeper into the dramatic, earthy world of Zambra Mora, building on the grounded shapes, slow and fast phrasing, and cultural context introduced in Level One. This class is designed for students who already understand the foundational posture, movement vocabulary and are ready to expand their expressive toolkit.

In this next level, dancers will explore:

• Introductory skirtwork: sweeping accents, framing shapes, and traveling patterns that enhance the theatrical Zambra aesthetic
• Foundational fan technique: opening/closing mechanics, directional pathways, and expressive flourishes that complement the dance.
• Layered movement combinations blending hips, torso, arms, and props
• More complex rhythmic transitions, moving confidently between slow, sinuous phrases and sharp, percussive accents
• Expanded footwork and turns inspired by SpanishArabic influences
• Styling and presence, cultivating the dramatic, smoldering quality that defines Zambra Mora

Students should bring:

• A practice skirt (Gina will have a few to share)
• A Silk Fan (These will be ordered when we are ready to start fan work

Dance shoes or barefoot are recommended for class.

By the end of Level Two, dancers will feel more expressive, more grounded, and more connected to the theatrical lineage of Zambra Mora — ready to continue into more advanced prop work and stylized choreography.

With years of teaching and performance experience, Gina brings her expertise, warmth, and energy to every class. Whether you’re new to Zambra Mora or looking to expand your repertoire, this class offers a fun, supportive environment to grow your skills and enjoy the beauty of dance.  

Class sessions will be on Tuesdays, June 9, 16, 23, 30 (no class session on June 2) from 11:45 to 12:45 at River House (179 Marine St. in St. Augustine)

For ages 18 and up.
