Learn basic movements, with options layering on more challenging movements to accommodate dancers at all levels. Learn historic, cultural, and musical context. Play with combinations to solidify movement vocabulary and musical concepts.
Saidi For Women,
Shaabi and Beledi on the Fly,
What does it take to bring Shaabi and Beledi songs alive for an audience? We will cover this as well as a brief look at the early days of Shaabi and Beledi. We will discuss how to put your own personality into your performance, techniques of improvisation and how to bring the audience along on this crazy ride.
Flamenco Orientale
Fusion
What makes a flamenco
oriental fusion piece authentic? Learn about the concept of “duende”, why
there’s a connection between flamenco and oriental music, what flamenco rhythms
to fuse with and how to incorporate flamenco stylization of posturas, braceo
and hip work into your fusion dance through several combinations.
Ready to RRRRRumba!
Get ready to move with
skirts and big hip movements! From Africa, to Latin America to Spain and back
and forth again and again, Rumba is a fun fusion of cultures and dance. We’ll
discuss the origins and influence of Rumba in Orientale dance and work on a
choreography using the skirt to learn how it can be incorporated into an Oriental
pop fusion piece. *Skirt highly recommended.
