Shaabi Workshop Featuring Lisa Bullis-Dennen

Shaabi Workshop with Lisa Bullis-Dennen

With one foot rooted deeply in traditional folklore, and the other rising from the streets of Cairo, Shaabi music is the sound of Egypt today.

Take on the character of a modern-day storyteller in this fast-paced, fun and funky choreography by Lisa Bullis-Dennen.

Suitable for dancers with a basic Arab dance vocabulary, to advanced dancers looking to fine-tune their personal style, you’ll have the opportunity to learn a performance-ready number that will excite and entertain any audience. We’ll focus on seamless transitions that make even the most rehearsed choreography look organic (as Shaabi dance is meant to be). We’ll add in a sense of humor, cultural context as to “why” moves happen (not just “how”), and the story of navigating complicated relationships in today’s world.

Shaabi is about personal expression. It’s time for you to be YOU!!
