Culturally Appropriate Egyptian-Style Belly Dance Workshop in Haliday, FL on January 4, 2025
The workshop will be conducted by the internationally recognized master teacher, Sausan, who is celebrated for her unique dance teaching technique. With 50 years of experience in the industry, Sausan has a knack for making even the most complex moves seem simple with her trademark teaching style. As Max Hamoda puts it, "Sausan can teach the devil to dance."
The course is designed to deepen your understanding and appreciation of this enchanting art form. It goes beyond just teaching dance movements; it delves into the history of belly dance, provides a video study of the Greats from yesteryear, and draws anthropological comparisons between Egyptian style and American cabaret style.
This comprehensive approach ensures that students not only learn the dance but also understand its cultural and historical significance and complexities. Jackie Holtzman, a former student, shares, "I loved your class, I hope more will enjoy it!".
"Belly dance, or Raqs Sharki, is a rich expression of Middle Eastern Culture," says Sausan. "By understanding the dancers, the music, the culture, and the way the Egyptians hear and keep the beat of the music, we can more fully appreciate the art form."
The belly dance course will be held in the Beacon Square Civic Association building, where ample parking is available. The pre-registration fee is $60, which includes four hours of comprehensive instruction that encompasses not just dance technique, but also elements of Egyptian culture. Door registration is $75.
Whether you're a belly dance aficionado, an amateur, or a professional, this course promises to redefine the way you perceive and appreciate belly dance. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from one of the best in the industry. To register or for more information, visit www.sausanacademy.com.
Experience the rhythm, the style, and the culture of belly dance with Sausan in Holiday, Florida, then watch her dance in a Sunday night gathering, or "hafla" at the Turkish Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant located at 1921 W Bay Dr, Largo, Florida.
