The ARAB DANCE SEMINAR is the first repeating event of it's kind in America. Our first event on Nov. 2005 in New Haven CT was a a great success, selling out 2 weeks before the deadline. The goal of this intensive weekend of workshops, lectures, performances and dance parties is to give the student a comprehensive Arab cultural dance experience. Going beyond nebulous "Bellydance" or generic "Middle Eastern" categories, the Seminar puts all the skills, techniques and practices back into their cultural contexts. The Arab world, home of over 20 countries in 4 zones (North Africa, Egypt, Levant, and The Gulf) is the origin and breeding ground for multiple styles and practices with a common language and aesthetic. This seminar helps clarify and illuminate that tradition.
