Baladi & Beyond with Bahaia
=========================
What’s in a name: Baladi, Beledi, Baladi Taqsim? Baladi – it’s a people, a rhythm, a dance style, a musical style and a formula for improvisation. In Arabic, the word Baladi means “my country” or “my hometown”. Baladi dance is the original women’s solo dance from the Middle East and therefore a precursor to and fundamental influence of Raks Sharki (belly dance).
In this 3 hour workshop, you’ll explore Baladi styling and the roots of the dance with movements that capture the earthy elegance and laid-back simplicity of great Egyptian dancers like Fifi Abdo, Nadia Hamdi and Aida Nour. You will also learn to understand and interpret the improvisational nature of the Baladi Taqsim. This formulaic style of music encapsulates the very heart and soul of Arabic music with inspired melodic solos, call and response, and a paced rhythmic build that finishes in a frenzy!
You will walk away with steps, styling, ideas and concepts that can be immediately incorporated to develop and refine your own personal style and improve your overall dance presentation.
Get ready to bring out the Baladi in YOU!

Please do another one! -
