The Treasures hiding in Egyptian Dance
From the moment the Quarantine started, I asked myself "how can Egyptian Dance help me and the world move through this challenging time? "
Most people will not turn to Egyptian Dance for life advice/wisdom but I´m not most people. I´ve been digging deep into the ancient art of "Raks al Sharki" for what it feels like an eternity.
I know better. And, as Maya Angelou once put it, "when we know better, we do better."
Authentic Egyptian Dance, the one that allows us to discover and express our true selves, has never been separated from Life. It comes from life so, how can it be separated from it?
Knowing and teaching this fact has been my Mission, Purpose, and Dream come true.
After a period of introspection, I realized the best service I could offer my community would be a QUARANTINE ONLINE COURSE that would show them the diversity, richness, and potential of Egyptian Oriental Dance in a way that´ll change their perspective on the dance and on life.
That´s when my ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME "Quarantine Egyptian Dance" Online Course, an experience that´ll never be repeated, showed up on the horizon.
A BIG-RESOUNDING-100%AFFIRMITIVE yes danced inside my heart.
In this course, I´m going to introduce 4 Egyptian Dance Styles that´ll improve our life. Yes, you read it well: they´ll improve your life.
Instead of just teaching those styles - Baladi, Classical & Modern Oriental, and Modern Shaabi -, I´m going to teach the most precious LIFE LESSONS hid in each of those styles.
This is my way of supporting my global community and honor my craft(s) (follow THIS LINK for more information about the new-1-time-only online course)
Before we start, on the 5th of May, I´m sharing a preview that, I hope, will inspire you to move through the murky waters of this global challenge.
Here are a few LIFE LESSONS each of the styles I´m going to teach in the Quarantine Egyptian Dance Course has to offer:
1. Baladi
Through Baladi, we learn how to NAVIGATE THE WATERS OF LIFE, independently of how smooth or aggressive they may be, wherever they may take us.
Here´s a skill I, the control freak of my own life, has struggled with my entire life.
Baladi teaches us how to get out of our own way and allow life to happen, dancing with it instead of pushing against it.
2. Classical Egyptian Dance
Through Classical Egyptian Dance, we learn about the IMPORTANCE of DETAILS.
I´m sure you know the saying "the devil lives in the details". So does God, and life, miracles and revelations.
Details tell belong to Artists, that´s for sure, but they also belong to the Wise Person within who (instinctively) knows where to find the gold.
3. Modern Egyptian Dance
Through Modern Egyptian Dance, we learn about the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPETITION AND POWER.
Although we´ve been taught that in order to win, we have to surpass our competition, authentic Modern Egyptian Dance teaches us otherwise.
True Power resides in a non-competitive mode, it´s about integrity, being-dancing-living from our most authentic self. It´s about embracing our Uniqueness - what I call our "Dance Blue Ocean".
4. Modern Shaabi
Through Modern Shaabi, we learn THE MEANING OF FIERCENESS, the skill of becoming untamed, wild, free, able to feel love and rage, calm, and every storm ever existed on planet earth.
I´ve been through scary storms and it was the "shaabi woman" in me who saved me; the remembrance of a strength that may not be pretty, soft, or pleasant but it´s essential to my survival. And thriving.
There are many more treasures to share.
For me, Egyptian Dance has never been reduced to a bunch of exotic movements and coin scarves - it has always been about the Art, the Healing, Self-Discovery & Empowerment Tool that can change our life. Truly.
