We will be hosting both Part 1 & Part 2 of Sahra Saeeda's Journey Through Egypt in Iowa City, Iowa in the near future. Part 1 is primarily a lecture/video workshop, with some dance/movement involved, on the historical and cultural foundations. Part 2 is much more focused on dance technique and movement. Each attendee receives a notebook, a DVD, and a certificate of completion.

Sahra holds a Master's Degree in dance ethnology, and did her master's degree thesis work in Egypt. She also worked in 5-star nightclubs in Egypt as a professional dancer. The Journey Through Egypt workshops package the results of her research into a workshop format.

If you're interested in coming, register early, because when we offered Part 1 here in July it sold out a month ahead of time. That's why we're offering it again, along with offering Part 2.

We will accept a maximum of 25 registrations for Part 1, and a maximum of 20 registrations for Part 2. (Sahra requested a smaller class size for Part 2.)

Part 1 will be December 5-7, 2008. Here's a link to the event listing here on tribe.net: iowa.tribe.net/event/Sahr...7b2462824d6

Part 2 will be January 9-11, 2009. Sahra requires that people complete Part 1 before taking Part 2, but it's okay if you took it somewhere other than Iowa City. Here's a link to the event listing here on tribe.net: iowa.tribe.net/event/Sahr...5dd230e40ec

Here is the registration form, which includes both events on a single form: www.kahramandance.org/images/...te12.pdf
