"Haramt Ahebak" Choreography with Myra Krien 🔥

Learn a Choreography by Myra to "Haramt Ahebak" (حرمت أحبك). Meaning "I Quit Loving You", this song is a timeless Arabic classic immortalized by the legendary Algerian-Lebanese diva Warda Al-Jazairia. Released in 1993, the song remains one of the most celebrated masterpieces of modern Egyptian music. This dynamic choreography utilizes flowing Raks Sharqui movements, rich storytelling, and dramatic dynamics, playing with the emotional landscape of different traditional Egyptian instrumentation.

Drum Solos for a Dancer & Drummers with Carmine & Kaeshi Chai 🔥

The drum solo is the climax of any belly dancer show. This is a great time for the dancer and drummer to improvise and communicate. In this workshop, you will learn how to build your own solos and use techniques for improvisation. You will also learn what the dancer is expecting from you and how to play something interesting and exciting for them. This workshop is perfect for drummers who know the basics. This workshop is also great for dancers to learn about the drum solo from the drummer's perspective.

Sassy Raks Sharki with Cecilia Rinn 🔥

Cecilia Rinn's Fantastically fluid, fiery fun to "Nassam 'Alayna Al-Hawa"!

We'll learn a joyful choreography that blends the flowing beauty of Raks Sharki with the juicy hips, playful attitude, and irresistible sparkle of American Cabaret. Expect luscious arms, delicious musicality, crisp accents, deep hip work, and plenty of opportunities to become the music!

For the courageous, we'll also weave American Cabaret finger cymbals (zills) into the choreography with signature patterns and strikes.

Come ready to laugh, play, challenge yourself, and leave with a dance that's joyful, sassy, and full of Starbelly magic.
