10 Weeks | Mondays at 6:30 PM with Ella
Join Ella for a beginner-friendly Shaabi choreography! Shaabi, meaning "of the people," is a social music and dance genre from urban, working-class Egypt. The words are wry and the tunes are groovy, making it a popular genre seen in belly dancer shows all over the world.
This choreography will be taught to a modern cover of Ahmed Adaweya's "Bent el Sultan."
Participants should have at least one raqs sharqi (belly dance) course before taking this course. Brand new? Check out this session's Intro to Raqs Sharqi course!
Optional performance opportunity for dancers who want to take this choreography to the stage as a group. Must be able to attend rehearsals and budget $50 for costuming (we will do our best to keep it as low as possible).
Class dates: 1/5, 1/12, 1/26, 2/2, 2/9, 2/16, 2/23, 3/2, 3/9, 3/16, 3/30
Performance rehearsal dates: 3/30, 4/6
