What
to expect at a class
Generally classes consist of the following elements:
Warm-up: prepares your muscles and
joints
and gets you into mood for dancing.
Technique and drills: the teacher
demonstrates the techniques and combinations and corrects the
students when necessary.
Improvisation: an opportunity to
combine
creatively the techniques learned and/or just to get grooving and
creative to some great music.
Cool-down: stretching,
breathing;
wrap-up the class.
When appropriate, there will be some conversation about the cultural
aspects of oriental dance, its history, dance styles, Middle Eastern
music or other related topic.
What to wear to class?
Whatever
makes you feel comfortable (e.g. stretch pants or a comfortable skirt
with a top). You will need a simple scarf or wrap around the hips.
Since we dance barefoot, bring socks
(or some really thin and flat-soled dance shoes) for warmth.
I'm out of shape/ I'm not so young/
I'm
not that "exercise-type"/ I can't dance/ I'm clumsy. Can I
really learn this dance?
Yes, you can. Oriental dance is based on natural movements. This is an
archetypical knowledge anyone can reach to. It is not so much about
learning, as it is about making the body remember what it already
knows.
What are the benefits of dancing?
Physical:
- Effective recreational activity, suitable for people on all levels of physical condition. The movements are natural and do not strain the joints. Practically all muscles from head to toe are utilized - oriental dance trains muscle-groups that are neglected in other types of recreational sports.
- Raises the level of energy, helps establishing the balance of energy and improves energy circulation.
- Has beneficial influence on the blood circulation and hormonal system
- Conditions the interior pelvic muscles - thus regular dancing may help in cases of irregular cycle, PMS and incontinence.
- Conditions the muscles used during child labour and increases their conscious use. Previous dancing history may ease labour and speed regeneration.
- Encourages the free expression of the various aspects of femininity: this dance can be sensual and erotic, charming and elegant, joyful and energetic or spiritual. Helps women be more feminine and be confident about it.
- The dancer experiences the creative process through the free improvisational dance. This physical, emotional and spiritual experience is a source of happiness on its own merit.
- For some people, the act of dancing itself holds deep spiritual sensation (regardless of religion). Dancing can induce meditative and trance-like state of mind where the dancer becomes one with the dance.
