From Pyramids to Cedars: Egyptian Vs. Lebanese Technique and Stylization

Give range and dynamic depth to your dance. Learn how familiar foundational concepts can take on an entirely different look, feel, and character.

In From Pyramids to Cedars, explore Egyptian and Lebanese dance by revisiting foundational techniques and discovering how subtle changes in execution and muscle engagement can transform them into two different styles. We will experience how posture, energy, musical interpretation, and movement quality give birth to a new language within the body.

Participants will explore how these contrasts physically, learning how to adjust technique and movement choices to develop greater stylistic range and versatility.

Part educational and part skill-building, the workshops puts these concepts into practice through engaging combinations and dance drills highlighting both Egyptian and Lebanese stylization.

Come ready to compare, experiment, and discover how subtle changes in execution can transform the character of your dance.
