Beginning Dabke for Dancers with Stephanie

5:30 - 7pm. This is the dynamic folk dance you see at every Lebanese gathering.

This class will be stylized particularly for bellydancers, meaning the movement will be more flirty and "curvy" but still definitely dabke! Since belly dancing and dabkeh are completely different art forms, it will be a beginning level. You certainly don't have to bellydance to take this special workshop, but learning dabkeh will add a new and more diverse dimension to any bellydance performance. And most importantly,it's FUN!!! No bare feet, please - charachter shoes or jazz shoes recommended, sneakers ok.
