"Exploring Historical Routes and How they Influence our Dancing" Each day of this class focuses on a different route of culture: Persian Empire, Bagdad to Andalusia, The Silk Road, the Ottoman Empire and the importance of Egyptian cinema. We will study how people mixed and migrated and how this influenced the music and dance to make it what it is today. AND we will do a lot of dancing.

"6 Points of Focus" This is a very important concept and important part of my teaching. We may think the hip muscles are moving the hips, or wonder how to get comfortable with chest movements, etc. Oriental dance is not always as it appears. We will explore the concepts of gravity and being grounded, internal movement vs external, Expressing yourself from your heart, and more. Once you get used to using the 6 points, you will find that your dance is more relaxed, earthy, and it is safer for your body.
$50 (May 4- 25) 4 weeks
