Lots of variations and adjustments will be provided to all exercises, to challenge you at your personal fitness level. Bring your choice of a balancing prop - be that sword, tray or a basket, and prepare to sweat and have fun! *If you don’t have a sword, please bring a roll of toilet paper an easy alternative. **This course is ideal for intermediate to advanced level belly dancers.

With Souren Baronian, Dalia Carella and Aszmara Sherry
The 8 th Avenue (NYC) music and dance scene (1950-‘s – 1970’s) is an integral part of Middle Eastern music and dance legacy. Dancing to exquisite live music was the norm for professional dancers. Cultivating a deep understanding of a full
dance set and dancing more than one unique set per night elevated the craft and kept everyone coming back for more.
Join these legendary artists who grew up in this very creative and exciting time.

They’ll share their insights as too what makes a successful show and tips on communication between dancer and band.
Directly after the panel discussion the participants in the Drum and Dance Learning Center’s Solo Performance Project perform sections of a full show with the Souren Baronian Ensemble along with special guest artists Dalia Carella and Aszmara Sherry.
