Cues & Tattoos Workshop: Energetic Body, Quiet Mind: Carolena's Recommendations
Mind
A few month's ago at Cues and Tattoos, I taught a workshop called Energetic Body Quiet Mind.
The focus of this workshop is to dig deep into core steps and, through repetition, be able
to flowwith a group of dancers. At one point we diverted into another workshop topic, Touch the
Music, to identify favorite songs and hear first person why people chose them.
Here's the list of songs that we came up with. I asked everyone for one contemporary song and
one belly dance song. The songs in blue are ones that we used in class, most of the others are
the contemporary choices, and a few belly dance songs that we didn't get to.
Enjoy!

Please see this recent blog post with a list of my favorite songs.
We also did a bit of Greek line dancing (expect this in the workshops that you take from me!) I
wanted everyone to experience how simple it is to pick up a dance when it's a "community"
activity. It doesn't really matter if you get it right, you just have to smile and imitate what the
other people are doing. The Greek folk song we danced to was “Samiotisa" (Kalamatianos is
the name of the 12 step pattern danced to the 7 beat rhythm!.”
