"How to Choreograph & Improvise in Egyptian Dance"
you´ll learn how to choreograph and improvise in the field of Egyptian Dance like a true pro.
We´ll work on the classic "Leilet Hob", by Om Kolthoum, and see how a true oriental dancer choreographs and improvises to it.
I´ll draw from more than 25 years of experience as a performer, choreographer, and teacher - in Egypt and around the world - and I´ll share the secrets other teachers don´t reveal.
I´ll co-create a choreography with you.
I´ll co-create an improvisation with you.
I´ll teach you what Mahmoud Reda, the father of Egyptian Folklore, taught me about the art of Choreography.
And I´ll teach you what I´ve learned, as an improviser and performer in Egypt and on the international stages:
Step by step.
Technique by technique.
The maqamat, the rhythms, the instruments.
How each musical section is built and how it asks you, the dancer, to move.
Musical analysis by musical analysis.
From draft to finished dance piece using Choreography & Improvisation Technique.
In this course, we´re also offering you a bonus live & recorded masterclass with our guest teacher, George Sawa.
In this bonus live masterclass, we´ll break down and analyse "Leilet Hob" in depth. From the perspective of the musician, offered by our guest teacher, and the perspective of the dancer, offered by Joana Saahirah.
