Dance with the Stars
Teacher: Bonita- 1h 15m
Follow in the footsteps of some of the greats of Egyptian Bellydance, learning and practising some of the signature moves that made them the much-loved dancers we continue to be inspired by.
​
In this workshop you will learn to identify and dance signature movements of star dancers Samya Gamel, Naima Akef, Sohair Zaki and Nagwa Fouad. Each step will be broken down into its core components and practised through repetition; adding stylisation, layers and variations to suit all abilities. All moves will then be practised by incorporating into a follow along drill.
Each movement will be accompanied by a brief introduction of the dancer and her individual style.
​
Questions are welcomed throughout and at the end of the workshop, and further direction to sources of information relating to the dancers will be provided.
