Workshops with Lorna of Cairo
10 am - 12 noon
Musical Interpretation - £20 PayPal friend/£21.50 PayPal
Every piece of Egyptian music gives a multitude of ways to be interpreted into dance. We will be exploring what to listen for in the music to give you more guidelines as to how to move to it to express your own personality as well as the meaning of the music! Never be stuck with how to dance a piece of music ever again! Students are welcome to bring their own Egyptian music with them so we can use it in class to help unpick it.…
12.30pm - 2.30 pm
Muscle Control - £20 PayPal friend/£21.50 PayPal
The thing which unites ALL top dancers within bellydance is their strong muscle control. We will be drilling hard in this workshop and clenching everything that can be clenched, in oh so many ways……so be prepared to work on technique and enjoy the Burn of Bellydance!!!
3.00pm - 5.00pm
Sexy Baladi! - £20 PayPal friend/£21.50 PayPal
Sometimes we focus on getting something so authentic and ‘right’ that we miss the whole point of it. Sadly, that's often the case with Baladi. Baladi is the heart and soul of all Egyptian dance styles and incorporates the power and joy of the Egyptian woman, as well as her inherent sexuality. Learn to really enjoy this beautiful dance style and reclaim its sexiness!

12- pm – 2.00 pm
Basics of Middle Eastern Percussion - £17 PayPal friend/£18.25 PayPal–

2.30 pm – 4.30 pm
Sets of 4 - £17 PayPal friend/£18.25 PayPal
Using the techniques learnt from the previous workshops we will look at putting rhythms into sets of 4 using various accents and frills. This is a very important aspect of drumming, especially when drummers are performing with dancers, as this allows for communication between dancers and drummers but also with your fellow drummers. We will look at putting a little set together to show back in the evening show (optional). This workshop is open level - improver techniques will be taught to those with more experience.
