Raqs Sharqi / upbeat classics – ht 2023

NOTE new start date – October 3!
This season’s continuation course is all about Egyptian-style Raqs Sharqi, and some of the “upbeat classics” of Egyptian bellydance.
Songs that make you happy to move, and that makes for great entertainment for the audience.
Classes include technique, drills & practice tips, combinations & improvisation training, and an impro-friendly choreography.
One song is used for choreography, but during classes we will listen & move to several songs of similar character. This will train your ear as well as your dance versatility & confidence in movement – and you get to enjoy more wonderful music!

Songs featured in this course, with lyrics translation & background include: Be Tes Aleh Alaya, Nassam Alayna Al Hawa, Garahetny Eyounu El Soda, & the ever popular Sawah!

Recordings are made available after each class.
