DANCE taught by Amina - Tuesday, from 4-5:30 - EGYPTIAN DANCE INSIDE OUT
This class explains about the dances, the dancers, the history, music, lyrics and the singers in a very interactive way. You will learn the history and hear, see and dance how Egyptian dance has changed through the ages. Back in the day we called it beledy. PLUS we will also also touch on the Golden Age, tarab, folkloric and the baladi taqsim, break down the structure, the movements, the rhythmic and melodic progression and more. In other words, we may do anything Egyptian. I like to teach using the music and rhythm as the main tool - not drill unrelated dance steps. I like to discuss concepts and trends, encourage discussions and often show video examples.
This a small on-going class and I encourage discussions in analyzing whatever - from trends to … I love to take requests on working on specific subjects so class agenda often changes at a moment’s notice..

If you scroll down you will find some of the songs either Susu or I teach. They are arranged by dates that the songs were used in class. (This is what we did during the pandemic.) Now that we all are more tuned into zoom and classes are having the same clientele week after week, we’re finally able to be more spontaneous and build.
