    Karim Nagi Workshop- Wonderful

    I just got home from the Karim Nagi workshop on Maqam. I have to say, it was probably the most useful workshop I've ever been to. That's saying alot because in my 9 years of this dance, I've been to alot of workshops.

    CAN you share what was good about it?what did he go over?

    I rarely go to workshops because they tend to be so pricey, so its nice to know which ones are really worth it when they come around.
    thnx!

    The Middle Eastern Dance Guild of Eugene (MEDGE) is bringing Karim Nagi here for workshops, a show, and two school assemblies in April 2010. We are really excited about the school assemblies and the opportunity to reach out to youngsters in our community with a positive message about Middle Eastern music and dance.

    What was the workshop topic that you took with him?

    This was my ramble on his workshops last year. (Involves curse words! But none aimed at Karim, just my usual potty mouth)

    He really broke down the notes and scales and differences between Arabic and Western music. He also got us involved in singing the notes and performing to scale changes. It was so useful and I think I already hear melody differently.

    Re: Karim Nagi Workshop- Wonderful

    I took two and a half days of workshops with Karim Nagi in April 2008 and it was worth every penny. Some of the classes were lecture (Survey of Arab Music for Dance, Maqam for Dancers), some dance-based (Musicality for Dancers, Rhythm for Dancers), others percussion focused (finger cymbals). I would gladly pay for it all again!

    Here are the descriptions of what he offers - TURBO TABLA / Workshops with Karim Nagi / Rhythm & Music for Dancers / Percussion.

    Re: Karim Nagi Workshop- Wonderful

    We had him in for the MEDSOK annual workshop in 2008 and he was one of the most popular teachers we have ever had. Beginner dancers and pros agreed. I think part of his effectiveness comes from the fact that he doesn't have to be correct or filter his thoughts and feelings through a need to be authentic - he IS authentic. That's the best way I can describe it. There's no ... hesitation, no filter.

    I can't rave enough about him. He completely revolutionized the way I hear Arabic music. It was so informative. Love him!! Very excited to have him back in Vegas next month.
