more info
*TUNISIAN DANCE - In Tunisia there are many dances but there is one popular dance performed countrywide. this dance has Bedouin roots. The dancer will use particular foot steps where the right foot goes forward and backward while stamping to the strong rhythms of the derbouka. The right foot hitting strongly the ground leads to the twisting of the right hip being accentuated by the melia or fouta dress. The arms are not moving. Every region has a particular movement. In some areas the dancers will do some jumps, in other areas the dancer will dance on the spot with very small steps with specific belly movements.
*RAKSAT EL MAHRA - Raks El Kheyl/Horse dance - The dance originates from the real story: a married couple and a horse on a journey. The husband giving all his attention to his horse and neglecting his wife, because the horse could dance. In order to win her husband's attention the housewife decided to imitate the horse. She not only won her husband but became famous and was invited to perform her horse dance at various festivities. This dance is full of energy, hip-twists and jumps, it is earthy, energetic and very balanced! Not
to do with full stomach!
Amel Tafsout often combines these dances together into combinations or a choreography.

Sat 11:15a-1:15p - Amel Tafsout ~ "WAHRANI & ALLAOUI - DANCING TO RAI MUSIC" - Semi-private (2hours-Hotel)
more info
*WAHRANI::: It is a semi-city dance performed by women only, originating from the country and known in the sea-port of Wahran (Oran in French), West of Algeria. The Wahrani dance also known as Rai dance consists of continuous shoulder shimmies, hip movements and hip shimmies with very small steps. The dancer is wearing dresses mainly in silk or lace.
*ALLAOUI::: It is a warrior line dance known in the West of Algeria near the Moroccan border. The line of dancers has a leader, the rais, who imposes changes of formations. The dance is representing the warriors coming back from Andalusian Spain.
*DANCING TO RAI:::: For Algerian people the term Rai means 'opinion' or advice but also embodies the concept of freedom of opinion. Rai music and dance are both based on improvisation. Like ya Leyl in Egyptian music, the term Rai became one kind of stop-gap when the singer lost his inspiration in his poetry. The roots of traditional Rai music were performed in the shioukh music (plural of Sheikh) or masters in the beginning of the 20th century, but also by the females performers: The MeddaHat and the Shikhat. The MeddaHat are singers and musicians who play violin and percussion and perform for women only always beginning with religious sacred songs, praising the Prophet or a local Saint. The Shikhat are female performers in West Algeria and Morocco, who perform for men and women, singing and dancing at various festivities including weddings, birth and religious holidays. Amel Tafsout will teach various techniques of the mentioned dances. She will include these dances in a her own choreography. Dancing to Rai is having the fluidity and the sensuality of Arabo-Andalusian roots, the strength and energy of the mythical Amazigh priestess, the Earthyness of the African soul, the Inspiration of the Sahara-Desert and the expression of the great Mediterranean Seaport Wahran. 2 hours - Hotel - Semi-Private Class

What moves your soul? Why do you dance? Who or what is your muse or inspiration? What do you want to tell the world? What do you have to offer up? And who are you and what do you want to express? These are the myriad of questions we must ask ourselves in order to dance with more intention and as artists, give of ourselves to the dance, to ourselves, and to the audience. Work through expressive and fluid movements with Ariellah in this intense and creative workshop. **Mixed Level Workshop**

Sunday 11:15a-1:15p -*NEW* Akasha Afsana brings you " STEAMPUNK SAVVY " - limited class size (Hotel -2hours)
more info
Steampunk is a newly emerging style of dance, not yet cultivated, but has been a style of couture, popular among Fashionistas and Sci-Fi lovers for several decades. Akasha loves this neo-Victo-futuristic style, and decided in the fall of 2008 to fuse this genre to dance. Steampunk Savvy starts out with a discussion of what Steampunk is, the stylizations of it, how it fits within bellydance, and how to make it your own. Be sure to bring a notebook and floor mat, as there will be a plethora of information and visual aids! Be ready to explore steampunk styled dance exercises in the latter portion of the class; Akasha will teach combinations that you can work into your own choreographies.
