“Belly Beats" Rhythms and Drum Circle for Dancers”
A female bonding experience like you have never had before! Lift your dancing to new heights by learning the rhythms of belly dance music and dancing to live drumming created by you and your classmates. Understanding the rhythms is a crucial step toward "feeling" the music in your heart and hips as well as help you to communicate with musicians. You won't believe how your dancing improves once you have a firm understanding of the rhythms. Loaner drums will be provided but if you have a Middle Eastern drum already bring it along. If you prefer to sit on a cushion or pillow bring that along too as we will be siting on the floor for much of the class.

Assaya Cane Choreography (for open levels) with Nourhan Sharif (visiting guest artist from NYC):
Nourhan is known for her earthy Saidi movements and improvisation with the Assaya. More earthy and heavy than urban Cairo music. The scratchy cry of the rababa and the swirling shout of the mizmar, inspire a strong yet playful dance. The canes twirl and strike to the pounding Saidi beat of the huge Tabla Baladi. All the women and men of Southern Egypt enjoin in the optimistic tradition of Upper Egyptian dance. Their long galabayya flows with the song. The altitude is high, but the center of gravity is low! Nourhan will teach a full choreography. Be prepared to learn and work. It's suggested that you purchase Nourhan's Rhythms CD Vol. 1 before this class in order to get the most from the class. Available at Josie's Studio this week. Nourhan will also be selling canes.
