Straight outta Cairo - what to know about Shaabi (2h)
Saturday September 14, 11am-1pm
Shaabi Lecture/ Discussion/ Workshop - what is the Shaab, Cultural respect, context.
What's hot in the streets of Cairo, from popmusic, the themes in pop music and present political influence that shift and sway the masses.
Shaabi, the word. It's not a static dance style, it’s not a repertoire of steps it’s the pulse of the culture. By the time you learn a choreography or steps in the west it will have changed in the streets, and you are already outdated. It’s of the people..... and as we know people are fluid, evolving, growing and breathing.....
It’s the pulse of the culture..... There are many documents that say of the ‘working class” people of Egypt but as I have tried to explain in some of my past videos about classism this is a gross simplification. The class system here (in Egypt) is much much more complex than simply...upper,middle, working and lower class) . Unless submersed in this you will never truly understand and that is ok. Just keep and open mind.
Enjoy Lecture, Discussion and Questions, and some hot combos to taste that modern Cairo flavor and distinctive gestures that help you vibe on the modern music of the shabeya

Whirling Workshop - Egyptian Tannoura (3h)
Sunday September 15, 1pm-4pm
Whether you are interested in the physical benefits of whirling or the mysticism associated with it this workshop is for you! Often associated with spirituality and mysticism, We explore this practice from a science perspective of how 'rotating' on our axis affects our bodies.
It has been documented that this practice, as many physical practices, can have an effect of an “altered state of consciousness. My intention with this workshop is to bring the experience to you And then can make the decision for ourselves based on the results we experience in our own bodies.
It is believed and practiced in many cultures, from the famous poet Rumi and Whirling Dervishes, to Tibetan Monks to different Wiccan/Pagan sects that Whirling or turning can bring the body into harmonious balance with our swirling universe. We are able to find a moment of stillness in the chaos, a similar effect to meditation. It is studied that practitioners experience good balance, healing and a spiritual Oneness.
