an in-depth look at the Dance Zones of Egypt.
Each "Intensive" views Egypt's Folkloric Dance from a different perspective.

"Journey through Egypt - 1" Intensive Workshop weekend with Certification

JtE-1 presents an overview of the Dance Zones of Egypt with attention paid to dance steps and movement, posture and costume recognition, dance zone geographical location, historical consideration and cultural diffusion. Multi-media approach includes learning through viewing films, lecture, study materials, trying on costumes, and experiencing the dance.

20-Hour Intensive Workshop includes dance and ritual movement of Cairo, Nubia, Ghawazee, Delta, Suez Canal, Bedouin groups, Siwa, Saidi region, and pan-Egyptian
Zeffah, Zar and others.
Class is open to dancers, anthropologists, historians, costume vendors and interested persons, female and male.

Includes free notebook, study materials, map, DVD and CD.

Learn about the Dance of Egypt from a deeper perspective. If you are not just a tourist, if you are hungry to understand, if you don't want to simply learn another choreography,
this may be the start of your journey.
