1.1. We´ll choreograph and improvise to the classic "Leilet Hob" by Om Kolthoum.

2. How to break down and analyse the music from the perspective of the musician (delivered in the bonus live class with George Sawa).

3. How to use dance technique, music, and cultural background to create dance pieces that look and feel authentic and also personal (like yourself).

4. How to discover the Choreographer and the Improviser in you - yes, they exist, they´re real - and how to bring your unique creative voice to your dance.

5. The method behind the creation of an extraordinary choreography, as I learned it from the master of all masters, Mahmoud Reda.

6. The method behind the creation of an extraordinary improvisation, as I learned it from more than 25 years of improvisation on the stage, in Egypt and around the world.

In this course, 

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. 

Pure gold. Pure creativity. Pure empowerment.
