Do you want to take your dance to another level? Classic Oriental style is defined by an elegant use of technique, movement patterns, musicality, nuance and a deliberate use of stage space.
These dance and theatrical elements were developed for the stage by Mahmoud Reda and Farida Fahmy in establishing the Reda Troupe, drawing on Egyptian Folkloric dance. Through this influence and lineage of teaching, Reda style has come to inform Oriental dance as we know it today.
In this class we incorporate nuances and techniques from Reda style into Oriental dance training and performance to create that elegant, clean and classy expression, both in solo and group performance.
You will learn stylistic elements that contribute to enhancing this classy expression in your own dance. The combinations shared can be paired with your favorite classic Egyptian songs, reordered, personalized and embellished to create your own elegant, timeless expression.
What you will learn:
- Elaborate combinations and patterns, broken down and easily explained
- Easy to use combinations for classic choreographies
- Guidance for proper technique and expression
