Join me in exploring the art of Oriental Dance, commonly known as Belly Dance!
This workshop delves into:

- The history, present, and future of Belly Dance
- The dance's feminine and masculine aspects
- Performance skills and mindset to overcome inner fears and insecurities

We will begin by exploring its origins in Ancient Egypt and trace its evolution to modern Fusion Belly Dance. This journey will not only deepen our understanding of the art form but also enhance our self-confidence and body awareness.
The Yin-Yang theory will guide our exploration: It describes the universe's dual nature, where opposing forces - Yin: dark, passive, feminine, and Yang: light, active, masculine - are interconnected and constantly shifting. In dance, harmony is achieved when Yin and Yang qualities are balanced.
Using these frameworks, we will explore movement through different intentions and emotions - both by observing and experiencing the dance.
During the lecture and discussion, we will watch performance excerpts from both female and male dancers, analyzing how different interpretations of Belly Dance shape unique styles.

Above all, this workshop is about self-discovery and personal dance expression.
This workshop will be structured as following:
- 1,5 hours of movement practice
- 1,5 hours for movement analysis, Q&A, breaks, and an open discussion at the end

This workshop is designed for: Complete beginners, Beginners with prior experience and Intermediate-level students. Basic English skills are required.
