✨Discover the hidden power of non-verbal communication in Part 1 of Ahmed Elswify’s Arabic Body Language Workshop at the Austin Belly Dance Convention! Learn how gestures and movements convey messages that words cannot, especially in Arab culture, where body language plays a crucial role in expressing attitudes, emotions, and meaning.
In this 2-part online workshop, you’ll explore semiology—the science of interpreting gestures—and how it enhances performances, conversations, and everyday interactions. Whether you’re a performer, traveler, or professional, mastering these cultural nuances will set you apart, helping you communicate with clarity and impact without saying a word.
