MAZAZIK DANCE
..... is a different take on the dance of the Arabic world, more sensual than sexy, less about costuming and more about feeling.
My aim is that through movement, self-awareness and developing creativity and musicality, we will all feel stronger both physically, mentally and emotionally. And happier and more fulfilled!
I don't just want to teach you dance. I would like to ask how but also why we dance.
The good news, and what many don't know is that, when this dance is practiced with a combination of bodywork practices and discipline, it is probably one of the safest and accessible of all dance forms with its combination of earthy and natural movement.
Mazazik Dance is also a trademarked system of dance tuition based on 20 movement mantras, and 20 dance themes, which will give you:
*a thorough grounding in technique
* a growing confidence to dance your own dance
* an abiity to focus on learning musical patterns
* an infinite creative approach to movement and your connection to it.
Regular classes are now online, partly due to the pandemic, but also because I feel it is the more ecological way to reach the people who want regular dancing. It cuts down on my travel and also cuts down on yours.
But, there are also plenty of in person events at my hubs - Manchester, West Yorkshire, York - plus specials in may other places. I dance (and that means work) wherever I want to be .... that could be anywhere in the UK, Ireland and of course Egypt.
