Seeing less and less Egyptian Dancers in Egypt? - Zara invites you to an important talk discussing cultural, political, economic & social issues facing Egyptian Bellydancers.
We will look at how foreign privilege, the growing importance of social media, the challenges on feminist movements in the Arab world & various events in the Middle East affected the dance industry.
In addition to this, we will analyze how these issues have lead to the growing domination of Western & Foreign dancers in Egypt, bringing up the important question: What does the future hold for “Egyptian” Bellydance?

Join us for an enlightening workshop where we dissect the elements of a traditional Baladi tubule. You'll learn how to express a deep, grounded Taxim, culminating in a dynamic finale that puts you in the driver's seat. This workshop focuses on Technique, Expression, Understanding, and enhancing your improvisation skills. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your dance!
