NORTH AFRICAN/MAGHREB DANCE: The cornerstone of Amazigh, Andalusian, and Arabized Movement

NORTH AFRICAN/MAGHREB DANCE: The cornerstone of Amazigh, Andalusian, and Arabized Movement

“Oriental Dance”,“Raqs Sharqi”, or “Belly Dance” has very little to do with the Maghreb or North Africa (sans Egypt). Often North Africa is lumped into the acronym “MENA” - meaning “Middle East and North Africa” because of the commonly believed notion that there is a so-called “Arab world” accompanied with a unanimous understanding of an unified Arab identity and corresponding dance culture. This is a misconception! Dancers interested in learning about Northern African/Maghrebin dance should understand a few basic concepts in order to enjoy the diversity and nuance. This article, written by Esraa Warda especially for ZeoT Zürich, explains more about these fascinating dance styles, music and culture.

Probier diesen Sommer einen neuen Tanzstil aus! Wenn Du neue Dinge ausprobierst, bringst Du Dein Gehirn in einzigartige Situationen, die es zum Denken zwingen. Das regt die Kreativität an, welche auch auf andere Bereiche Deines Lebens abfärbt. In diesem Sinne bieten wir Dir eine grosse Auswahl an Workshops, an denen Du während der Sommer-Workshop-Woche vom 20.08. bis zum 25.08. teilnehmen kannst. Von Schleiertechnik bis Shimmy, von Muwashahat bis Baladi, hier hast Du die Chance, etwas Neues zu versuchen!

Die regulären Kurse pausieren während der Sommer-Workshop-Woche, bis wir am 27.08. in die Kursperiode 5 starten, und uns dem Raqs Sharqi - dem klassischen orientalischen Tanz - widmen. Lies unseren Newsletter und finde heraus wie Du eine Choreografie leichter lernen kannst.

Parallel zu unseren Choreografie-Kursen kannst Du ins Ballett, oder in einen unserer Kurse für orientalische Tanztechnik, um an Deiner Haltung oder Technik zu arbeiten. Du wirst erstaunt sein, wie sehr Du Dich durch eine zusätzliche Tanzstunde pro Woche verbessern wirst.

SUMMER WORKSHOP SPECIAL & HOW TO REMEMBER A CHOREOGRAPHY BETTER!

Try out a new dance style this summer! When you try new things, you put your brain into unique situations that force it to really think. This stimulates creativity, which eventually rubs off in other areas of your life. With this in mind, we have a great selection of workshops for you to try out during the summer workshop week of 20.08. - 25.08. From veil technique to shimmy, Muwashahat to Baladi, here's a great chance for you to try your hand at something new!

Regular classes take a break during the summer workshop week until the 27.08. when we'll begin course period 5 studying the art of Raqs Sharqi or classical oriental dance. Read our tip in our newsletter to find out how you can learn a choreography more easily. Alongside our choreography classes, why not work separately on improving your posture or technique in ballet or in one of our several oriental dance technique classes? You'll be amazed by how much you can improve just by adding one extra dance class a week.
