Workshop of Oriental Dance in Cairo
February 18 to 21 2008

With Tuija Rinne and Mohamed El Hosseny

 

Four days of intensive dancing in the heart of Oriental dance in an international atmosphere. Beside dance classes, you’ll have time to experience Cairo: shop in its bazars and modern commercial centres, make a tour to the pyramids and museums, see nightclubs and dance shows, visit mosques and walk in the narow alleys.

The workshop will be conducted in Studio Emad Eldin in the very centre of Cairo. The workshop is planned to suite students of all levels, except absolute beginners. 

Tuija teaches a compact technique package “From the essential movements to comprehensive body expression”, including a little dance. Hosseny works on one or two choreographies, in the very characteristic Hosseny-style, of course!

Tabla playing classes and classes of Arabic language will be arranged upon request.

Price: 120 €/all dance classes 12 h, single classes 15 €/hour. Tabla and Arabic classes paid separately, the price will depend on the size of the group.

On Friday 22.2. we will organize a full-day trip to Suez, we’ll have a seafood lunch and participate in a simsimiyya party with El Bahhara orchestra.

The price of the trip is 50 € (including transportation by bus, lunch and the simsimiyya party, not including drinks).
