⭐ Cairo Combinations
Taught by Setsuna

Learn combinations inspired by the Egyptian and Cairo-based dancers I watched and took classes with this year! Trends can change, but many of these movements offer a timeless familiarity and usefulness, while being stylized to fit the personality of orientale music today. We will learn combinations that can be sequenced together to create your own dance.

⭐ Turkish Romani Workshop
Taught by Setsuna and Candice

Step into the vibrant world of Turkish Romani dance, where rhythm, movement, and cultural expression come together. Known for their energy, passion, and dynamic footwork, Turkish Romani dances have been a cornerstone of the Romani community's cultural identity and beloved for generations.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced dancer, there is something for everyone, including a fun performance opportunity at the hafla! We will cover:

- Cultural context and brief background/history
- Roman Havasi 9/8 rhythm
- basic movements
- basic footwork
- Two combinations
- if time allows, bonus improv at the end

⭐ Journey into Improvisation
Taught by Candice

Whether you love it or hate it, this workshop is going to be FUN! Candice guarantees it Perfect for dancers looking to explore the art of improvisation in a light-hearted and caring environment to make you feel at ease. Improvisation frees us and allows us to infuse our dancing and even performances with a new sense of creativity, emotional awareness, and spontaneity.

For those keen to try out their hand at improv in a safe space, we will also have performance opportunities for this at the hafla.

Early bird promo ends on Sunday, 12 Jan!

After teaching our Must-Know Rhythms Course this term, I am really enjoying spending more time on this topic, and one of my favourite rhythms is the Ayoub, which is commonly found in Khaleegy music and has a really laid-back, lilting vibe.
Enjoy this performance by Canela at one of our student shows where she is dancing to this style and rhythm
