Because we want the freedom to change and adapt the program depending on the needs of the participants - YOUR needs - as enrollments come in, we will NOT post a pre-set workshop program here.. The summerschool is not conceived as a series of independent workshops, but rather as an intensive study program for dancers who want 4 days of kick-ass training!
We will definitely be covering several technical aspects of the dance (shimmies, traveling steps, 3D-movements, individual clean-up of your specific issues...) several styles (Modern Egyptian, American Cabaret, Taksim, Drum Solo... ), prop work (intermediate and advanced veil work, zills, cane,... ), performance related issues (polish and presentation, emotion and communication, make up for the stage, choreography versus improvisation...) etc! We promise, you will NOT get bored :-)
