Belly Dance Music Workshop

Saturday, February 5th,  4:00pm - 6:30pm

A workshop to familiarize the dancer with the various genres of  bellydance music from Egyptian Classical to Turkish to Contemporary Tribal.
 
You will:
~Learn what instruments, sounds and rhythms characterize each style
~Discover the history behind the music
~Determine which dance style is appropriate to which music
~Get tools to help understand the music
and rhythm to dance better, whether choreographing or improvising.
~Be introduced to new music and a new way of appreciating it!

Cost is $25 per person / $20 for Esquina Tango Members  (to register in advance please contact Jamie Lyn at 512-754-7427/0

 
  
Come  learn the basics of  Turkish Oryantal style Bellydance in a 2 1/2 hour  workshop  designed to familiarize you with the particular moves and style   that characterize Classical Turkish Bellydance. Learn the history  of Turkish  dance, how to distinguish the music, the basic rhythms  and add onto your  existing knowledge of Bellydance moves with the  singular style that is  Turkish. Bear in mind, this is not Gypsy,  Rom or Folkloric Turkish, but  rather a style that utilizes aspects  of the previously mentioned styles  combined with Arabic dance and  even some Indian influences. There's gonna be  a lot of hip  twisting fun going on!


Jamie Lynn dances both Egyptian  Style and Turkish  Oryantal and loves both for their variety of energy and  emotion.  She is the Turkish dancer at Raks Helwa Bellydance Show at Ruta Maya. She has been studying Turkish style since she went to Turkey  in 1999.
