DESCRIPTION:
This class is designed for new and returning intermediate students, as well as any advanced student who would like to work on Raqs Assaya (cane) technique and partial choreography.  If you have not performed cane at the INTERMEDIATE level, this is the correct class for you.  Learning to dance with a cane is an important step in an intermediate dancer’s development.  It was my favorite prop from the first moment I picked it up.  Cane dance comes from southern Egypt and features an earthy rhythm and bouncy moves.  Cane dance blends personality, folkloric dance moves and the skill of manipulating a prop while moving – always a challenge for newer dancers.   All experienced dancers have learned to dance with a cane.  Expect to have fun and dance to a rhythm that simply grabs you and pulls you in.  Cane dance is also a good way to let off a little steam!  It is strongly suggested that local students show up in person.  This is a required class in the Intermediate level sequence  (including multiple technique semesters, veil, cane and zills).

 

PLEASE NOTE: All classes above beginner level require instructor permission (by email).   Masks are optional.  

 

FAQs: See FAQ’s page regarding foul weather, make-up classes and other issues.   Masks are optional.  

 

WHAT TO BRING/WEAR: See FAQ’s page.   

 

COST:  $80 once per month  (this includes a cane) for three months beginning the day you register.  There are three payments for this semester.  The registration deadline is Friday, March 7 (due to my need to order canes for you), after which time the price goes up $10 per month.  Please note that there are no refunds, discounts for missed classes (although we encourage make-ups for this class in Beginner classes), transfers of registration/credit to other students, or refunds due to instructor illness, weather rescheduling or power outages.
