Dance has been called the universal language and in the same way that languages can tell us so much about a culture, so can its dance. Join us in KP6 to learn more!
There are many ethnic and folkloric dances and rituals throughout the Middle East that form the foundation of Oriental dance and in Kp6 we will be exploring just 3 of them: Persian dance (level A), Chiftatelli - Turkish Court dance (level A/M) and Turkish 9/8 (level M & M/F).
Celebrating and embracing dance, music and culture from the Middle East we also have 3 very special events coming up; workshops with Ozgen (Turkey) in September, Asian Hafla and a Palestinian music concert (with mezze) in November.
ALIA & the ZeoT team are looking forward to dancing with you in KP6
KP6 : 24.10 - 18.12
OZGEN WORKSHOPS SEPTEMBER 24 & 25
Ozgen has performed, taught, choreographed & directed for the last 18 years. His reputation as a male belly dancer & teacher has taken him across the world. Ozgen taught for several years at the Tolgahan Dance School in Istanbul, and is now based in London, teaching and performing Turkish Oriental & Romani (Gypsy) dance internationally.
