This summer, I’m inviting you to join my Neo-Andalusi Workshop Series — a journey into the fantasy fusion style pioneered by Nesma, inspired by the poetic aesthetics of al-Andalus (7th–14th c.) and bringing together Reda technique, Spanish folk traditions, and Oriental dance.Across three Tuesday evenings in January (6:30–8:30pm), we’ll explore technique, character, musicality, and collaborative creation to a musical landscape of Classical Arabic music and poetry.
Classes level varies starting out at beyond beginner and progressing across the series. Each workshop is both stand alone and iterative. By participating in the series you will develop and refine your Neo-Andalusi dance vocabulary and feeling.
