2021 Reset & Refresh
Jan 8th - Feb 19th
It’s time to bring some new energy into our dance as 2020 finally comes to an end! Amanda Rose Online always brings a technique series to start this year, and this round 2021 Reset & Refresh is just what we need. A series that will focus on 4 facets of Oriental Dance; Shimmy Development & Layers, Isolations, Fluidity & Turns. 2021 Reset & Refresh will take a new look at knee shimmies and hip shimmies, leaving the tension shimmy as a thing of the past, and working towards fuller, looser and more vivacious shimmies, then applying those reset shimmy skills with different upper & lower body layers, mobility drills and traveling. Isolations will focus not only on the isolated movement, but the surrounding and supporting areas that are so often over looked and diminish our isolation effect. Fluidity will focus on weight changes and distribution, flow, and connection points, making sure our melodic movements create the ebb and flow we want. Turns will refresh our spin skills, focus on the entire body within each turn, and give us an opportunity to drill and apply. Each 2-week segment of this series will include a 10 min drill video repeating all the technique in the class, and a full musicality combination, where the technique of the series will be applied and Amanda Rose will discuss musicality choices, rational and stylization. Leave 2020 in the past and come Reset & Refresh your dance in 2021!
This is a multi-level series meant to give dancers, intermediate to professional, new skills, challenges, growth, ideas, and fun! This series offers a new formation as well as additional live classes (that will be recorded), and personal feedback.
Live Classes & Personal Feedback
Amanda Rose Online will be offering a hybrid option for this series, meaning that participants in the series can add on two Optional 90 min Live Online Classes with Amanda Rose that will take place on Saturday, Jan 23rd and Feb 6th during the series. Students can submit requests for what to cover in this class, such as review technical information, additional breakdown, and drilling, and help with the choreography. These classes will be recorded in case a student is unable to attend and wishes to view the class at the later time. This is a fantastic way to take a pre-recorded class in your own time and then also have live contact with Amanda Rose to better your understand of the material and receive direct help. As always, Personal Feedback is also available for this series, read more below. Because of the popularity of the Personal Feedback option, it will now be limited to 10 students per series, so make sure you grab your spot early!
New 2 Week Segmented Format
One of the comments that I often get about Amanda Rose Online classes is that there is so much content to dig into, so I’ve designed a new format that will support better learning and development. If you are familiar with Amanda Rose Online things will change only slightly from our usual format. This series will be 6 weeks long and include 6 full-length hour-long classes. What will change in this series is that 2 classes will be released at a time and students will have 2 weeks with this material. Each two weeks another 2 classes will be released and the previous classes will close. Another change is that in each two-week segments, the classes will be connected. The first class will be a pure technique, drilling, and theory class with a drill combo at the end. The second class will be a review of the first class, continued development on skills and drills, a full musicality combination breakdown, and drilling. If you feel you are more advanced and want more of a challenge, after Week 1, you can immediately move on to Week 2, with more advanced material and the combination breakdown. If you feel you need more time with Week 1 content, you will have access to it for 2 weeks and can take on the more advanced material and combination breakdown when you are ready.

PERSONAL FEEDBACK
Personal Feedback is available for this series! The personal feedback option has become a highly popular with Amanda Rose Online, allowing students to get the most out of their long distance online study! You will be asked to submit to Amanda Rose a video of yourself performing the combination, choreography and or improvisation exercises from each class in the series. From this video Amanda Rose will return a detailed feedback to support your learning process.
This feedback will entail technique critique specifically towards the technique used in the combinations, general technique suggestions, evaluation of strengths and weakness, posture, application, timing, drills and ideas for skill development! This tool is extremely valuable, not only do you get the class, basic and advanced technique, combination application and breakdown, you also will get direct feedback on your own performance of the choreography/combination, an invaluable aspect many online classes don't offer!
HOW THIS SERIES WORKS
This series is 6 weeks long, and will offer 2 new recorded class every 2 week for a total of 6 classes.
Each lessons will be made available for 2 weeks, giving you the opportunity to study 2 classes during those 2 weeks.
Classes will be released every other Friday starting on Jan 8th, Jan 22nd and Feb 5th, and Feb 19th is when the last class will be closed. All necessary information, videos, links, music, etc. will be accessible on the AmandaRoseDance.com website, in the respective class pages. Additionally, during the course of the series your first Private Lesson with Amanda Rose will available at a discounted rate for series participants!
Opening & Closing Of Classes
Each class will be available for 2 weeks, which allows you to return to the material for reference, clarification, to repeat the drills or take the entire lesson over again. When the next week's lesson is released, the previous lesson will be closed and no longer available. Each lesson will last a duration between 50 mins to 1 hour and 15 mins, depending on the technique and theory of that week. This is the full time on video and without repetition, but should you wish to repeat the material for additional drill time you are more than welcome to do so at your leisure and have access to the material for an entire week. In addition you always have direct access to Amanda Rose through the Amanda Rose Online Community Facebook Group, FB messenger and email for questions and comments throughout the series to address your needs.
Why Do Classes Close?
One of the main reasons that the classes close after a week is to keep people accountable and engaged. Many times when you feel like you can go back to something at any time, you don't actually make the effort to go back and then you never do. Giving time limit to each class pushes people to participate and use the material, thus keeping them engaged and taking advantage of the program. There do tend to be "Bonus Weeks" where the previous classes will be opened back up for review giving you a second chance at information you may want to go over or had potentially missed. If you think about that in a standard live class you only get access to the class & teacher in that very moment, and then once it's over it's gone. This format gives you unlimited access for a week, allowing you tons of flexibility with schedule and the option to retake the classes at any point letting soak up as much as possible.
Personal Feedback
If you are participating in the Personal Feedback aspect of this series you will be asked to submit your video to Amanda Rose by midnight on Thursday, the last day of the week the class is open. On Friday the new class will be opened and Amanda Rose will return all personal feedback at that time.
