Step into the glamour, drama, and artistry of the Golden Era of Egyptian belly dance!
Join Amorina for a beginner-friendly journey through one of the most influential periods in belly dance history. Over the course of this series, we’ll explore the style, movement, and stage presence of the legendary dancers who helped shape Egyptian dance during the mid-20th century.
Each class will spotlight a different iconic dancer of the Golden Era, with a new combination inspired by her unique movement quality, musicality, and performance style. You’ll learn a different combo in every class, giving you the opportunity to experience the elegant lines of Samia Gamal, the earthy and powerful style of Taheyya Kariokka, the playful theatricality of Naima Akef, and other influential dancers of the era.
Along the way, Amorina will share a little of the history and cultural context behind these incredible performers, helping you understand not just what they danced, but why their styles became so influential.
No previous experience is required! Combos will be beginner friendly, with plenty of focus on foundational movements, musicality, expression, and the distinctive qualities that make Golden Era Egyptian dance so captivating.
Whether you're brand new to belly dance or simply want to deepen your understanding of its history, this series is a fun way to learn the past by dancing it!
