​ BALADI - REAL OR FAKE?

Baladi - a term in the dance world which I think has lost its way. It's become part of a marketing circus, a hashtag mishmash.
If you love Egypt, you'll know this.

In this workshop I'm going to ask one very simple question. What IS baladi - and what isn't it.

After many years of deepening my relationship with Egypt I've learnt that ...
Baladi isn't raqs sharqi.
Baladi isn't bellydance.

Watch the great baladi stars of the past, Fifi or Soheir and you'll feel it.
And the dancers in Cairo today don't have it. I'm quite vocal about the fact I'm no fan of most of today's dancers, just as most Egyptians aren't.

And the irony for western dancers who want to dance baladi, the more you search for it, the more studying and training you do, the more you dance away from it.
Good news isn't it?!
Join me to feel it, and to explore what this dance can bring you.
And as well as dancing, I'm going to show you some clips of It.
​
This is the first in a series of Baladi workshops.
Numbers will be limited. Priority booking to my Zoom and Dance In Your Own Home internet dancers.
