NWBD: Oasis Dance Camp Update!
Oasis Dance Camp Update:
It is hard to believe it is September and that October and
Oasis Dance Camp are right around the corner! I’ve learned some
exciting news that I just have to pass on : )!
Cassandra, from Minneapolis, will be teaching a Flamenco-Arabic
fusion choreography to “Rona” by Alabina. Cassandra is an
internationally acclaimed dancer and teacher and Artistic
Director of Jawaahir Dance Company. She is highly respected as a
dancer and artist by Simon Shaheen, Mahmoud Reda,
Raqia Hassan, and many others. www.jawaahir.org
Habiba, from Philadelphia, will be teaching a new “kick-ass”
Folkloric Tunisian choreography that can be done as a scarf or
pot dance-so bring 2 scarves! She hopes to also teach a short
Andalusian choreography to a medieval song sung in Spanish and
Arabic -”Sabes Ya Mio Amor”. Habiba is a leading researcher of
the dances of Egypt and Tunisia and teaches contemporary styles
as well as the traditional folkloric dances that have been
performed and passed down for many years. www.habibastudio.com
I will be teaching a new class “Learn the Basics” for beginners.
I will lead this group through four days of intensive basic
training in the Cassandra style of Oriental Dance including a
short choreographed dance. You may arrive a ‘newbie’ but you
will leave dancing!
And our former and wonderful cook, Sheree, is returning after a
year hiatus.
Yeah!
Dancers of all levels - beginner through professional - will
enjoy these four days of dance with morning technique classes
and afternoon choreography classes. Additional activities
include: Henna party, Video night, drum classes, participant
show, fashion show, and impromptu skits! Oasis fosters an
extraordinary atmosphere of camaraderie and learning that
combines into four days that will leave you inspired and
invigorated - Oasis Dance Camp, truly a dancer’s oasis!
