MODULE 2: Oriental Routine Choreography (based on the vocabulary prepared in Module 1)
The Oriental Routine (Raqs Sharqi) Choreography workshop includes amplifying and perfecting the oriental technique (positions, orientation in space, footwork patterns and travelling steps, turns, head movement, arm technique, upper and lower body technique, etc.) according to the selected choreography and the level (specially designed for Intermediate to Advanced students), combinations & movement sequences, transitions and gradually constructed full choreography or its fragment.

Sat. 5 July; 13:30—16:30

MODULE 3: Shaabi Choreography (based on the vocabulary prepared in Module 1)The Shaabi Choreography workshop fucuses on the “urban folklore” variety of Bellydance, closer to Balady style than to Raqs Sharqi in its energy and expression. Not many modern singers have accomplished to create their own style and inspire so many Bellydancers to interpret their songs as the Egyptian artist Hakim has. His musical pieces are very dynamic and groovy, and encourage to create a dance full of energy, but flirty, naughty, rebellious, at the same time. In spite of using the classical Raqs Sharqi vocabulary, the air is more of the urban folklore, the Baladi and Shaabi. It is a perfect addition to a Bellydance performance if you intend to offer variety and authenticity with Egyptian touch, and something you do not see every day.
