International teacher and performer of Ghawazi (Egyptian Gypsy) & Andalusian Dance

Workshop details, directions, maps and registration forms can be found on line at www.MEDSOK.org.
Join us on SATURDAY, Nov 10th for a day of ‘real’ tribal belly dance, Egyptian style! Habiba will teach the hypnotic, joyful dance style of Egypt’s ‘Invaders of the Heart’, the Ghawazi. The Ghawazi carried on the gypsy tradition of entertaining for hundreds of years, and, until the last of the famous practitioners retired, they were hired for all feasts and weddings in Lower Egypt. The dance form is relatively simple and repetitive, relying on interesting formations of two to five dancers and on the charm of each individual dancer. The Ghawazi are famous for their side-to-side shimmy movement, which is performed with effortless grace and power and which is layered into most of their signature combinations.
The five-hour workshop will teach fifteen steps ( horse stomps, shimmies, figure 8s, circles, travelling steps and hops), history and costumes, one group choreography, and one choreography that can be done solo or with a group. Bring your zills and Habiba will demonstrate how the ghawazi play them while dancing.
The workshop will be followed by an evening CONCERT with Habiba as the featured performer. Habiba will be joined by local and regional dancers and troupes in a 2-hour concert of the good, the great & the best!
Then join us again on SUNDAY, November 11th, for a 2.5 hour workshop on Andalucian dance, originally performed in the noble houses of medieval Andalusian Spain and throughout the Arab world. The dance emphasizes the elegant arm and hand movements of the court dancer and is performed with a graceful, floating elegance with just a hint of what would become flamenco hundreds of years later. This workshop will include technique, movements for the typical rhythms encountered in Andalusian music, a short choreography, history, costumes, and how to incorporate Andalusian dance into your belly dance routine.
