Subjects include a choice from the following:
All styles of Egyptian Dance, plus other Middle Eastern dances
Veil, stick, finger cymbal and sword classes
Rhythm and percussion
Improvisation, choreography and performance technique
Talks and background history and culture, music and costumes
Relaxation sessions, massage and the Alexander Technique and classes with live Egyptian music.
Every year we have a student performance in the theatre plus our amazing Zar (trance dance) evening. We have a souk at which you can buy new costumes, jewellery, finger cymbals and music, everything in fact, that a dancer could need. We also have masseuses and aromatherapists on hand to soothe and pamper you.
The Summer School takes place at the Arts Educational School in Tring, Hertfordshire. This exceptional venue is in a beautiful manor house and its connected buildings, set in large and lovely gardens. Facilities include mirrored dance studios and a modern theatre. Accommodation is basic but comfortable, with some rooms in the mansion and some in a modern block.
