"Every dance has a history, and knowledge of that history empowers those of us who study, teach, and perform the dance today. Discover how Oriental dance ("belly dance") evolved from its roots as a social dance into the theatrical form we know today.

This lecture/video presentation brings to life how the traditional Egyptian dance was transformed over the 19th and 20th centuries from a social dance into a performing art presented in large theatrical environments and concert halls. Using video clips of dance scenes from Egyptian movies and dance concerts, this course illustrates how political, economic, and social factors all shaped the development of raqs sharqi in Egypt.

Following the 2-hour workshop will be a hafla with light refreshments, a mini-lesson for those who have never belly danced before, and dance performances. Workshop attendees who would like to perform can contact Liquid Hip Therapy for a performance slot."
