Beginning Classes:
Beginning classes will focus on the traditional Egyptian style Balady steps
including shimmies and hip work for drum solos. Each class will include a
warm-up with isolations, a different Balady step and a cool down period.
Please wear comfortable, loose clothing which can include: leotards, tank
tops, shorts, or broom skirts. It's always fun to have a scarf or something
to wear around your hips. I dance barefoot, but some students like to wear
soft low heeled shoes similar to ballet slippers. Please call each site for
prices, registration and directions.
- Ninth Street Dance Studio. Durham, NC (919) 286-6011
Each workshop will focus on a specific aspect of the dance (i.e. drum
solos, veil, arm work, etc.) by doing combinations of traditional
steps. These traditional steps will be taught at each workshop along
with a warm-up including isolations. Veils will be provided for the
student's use. Please note: Each workshop teaches new material; Students
