HOSSAM & SERENA have travelled the world with their unique
and effective style of workshops. Whilst the themes may vary, their
overriding mission remains constant, to help oriental dancers learn
to intuitively interpret, and become part of, the music.
This crucial skill is the key factor on which Arab audiences judge
a dancers ability, but is so often missing in performance
and even more seldom is it taught.
Hossam & Serena present a unique opportunity to learn this skill,
not just from the perspective of a talented dancer, but from the
perspective of a world-renowned percussionist, musician, composer
and international dance instructor.
This style of workshop stands alone, and the Ramzys employ a variety
of teaching methods during a single workshop, including lectures,
discussions and demonstrations of movement and rhythm, so that learning
is achieved at a deeper level than mere repetition of a dance routine.
Whilst there is a substantial and significant element of dance
techniques covered during the workshop, learning new moves
is not the key focus. A choreography may be used but not with the
aim of basic repetition of steps, but as a tool to understand how
the music can be interpreted individually.
Workshops are fast-paced and challenging but even complete beginners
surprise themselves with what they find themselves capable of achieving. |
