Saturday…(classes will be held at Open Flight, LLC 4205 University Way):
10:15 - 12:15: Pure Egyptian Dance from Cairo - Steps and feelings of a time now past, we revisit the old nightclubs with music and movement of authentic Egypt. Tarab, baladi and shaabi…techniques, transitions, gestures. Notes included, music available for sale.

12:45 - 2:45: Fadl Shaker Choreography (modern/classic Oriental): A luscious Old Cairo nightclub-style choreography with a lovely song by one of Egypt’s most heartfelt modern singers. Authentic technique and feelings create the mood for this piece. Notes and lyric translation included. Music available for sale.

Sunday…(classes will be held at University Heights, room 108):
11:15 - 1:15: Hot Off The Press! Current movement from the stars of the Egyptian stage, as well as from the choreographers behind the scenes -- today and min zaman (from the past). Astryd presents modern and classic Egyptian Oriental dance technique in her poignant style, easily absorbed and thoroughly broken down. Notes included.

1:45 - 3:45: Egyptian Pop Choreography "Fakerny": Utilizing steps direct from Cairo, Astryd presents an original choreography to one of the latest pop songs of Cairo's Arabic hit radio. She combines graceful moves and steps with saucy gestures to highlight the meaning of this hot pop song, which musically retains a lovely oriental feel.
