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 dancer’s 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.
