Thread: Amani in London

I must have been living under a rock or this event wasn't that well publicised!! (Or, in 5 years of living in Scotland I had just completely filtered out any news of events in London!)

Beverley Bellydance & The Unique Stars of Ishtar

Anyone else going?

I might go to the show . .

A unique chance to rediscover an artist who single handedly revolutionized oriental dance in the Middle-East.

She established a new and inventive style that made her the legendary dance icon and which became the identity of oriental Lebanese dance style renowned nowadays world wide.

The Master classes:
“PERSIAN BANDARI” As a dance historian and academic for the preservation of authentic Oriental style, Amani offers an exceptional opportunity to learn this Persian folk dance in a session with other dancers, so the group may learn a good deal of variation in the steps, clapping and arm movements, which will eventually develop into a choreography. The Bandari style is energetic and fun, teaching fluid accents on the shoulders and the spine, and presenting you with a recognized and loved authentic style to add to your repertoire.

In Lebanon, and throughout the Arab world, Amani has taken her career to a respected height by her theatrical approach. This workshop highlights her technical devices for personal application for the professional dancer who is keen to explore presentation through archetype and imagination.

Sunday 16 March 13:30 – 16:30 (Advanced to Professional levels welcome)

Please be present 15 minutes before each workshop to register

Entrance fee per workshop (3 hour intensive!): € 95
