NEW Wednesday Evening Beg Technique & Int/Ad Classes @ Shraddha with ANNA in Old Katy Starting Soon!

These classes will begin in late May/early June! Exact times/date and cost will be announced soon.

The Beginner Technique class will focus on gaining mastery of beginner level belly dance movement through drills and dance combinations. We will also work on using veils and zills. Anna recommends taking the "Introduction to Belly Dance" class at Shraddha before taking the beginners technique class, but it is not required.

The Intermediate/Advance class will focus on more complex movement and layering. More in-depth, belly dance-related topics like Middle Eastern rhythms, musicality, improvisation, performance skills, style development, professionalism, as well as use of props and folkloric/traditional dances from the Middle East. Choreography will also be taught in this class. Permission from Anna is required to attend this class.

If you are interested in attending either of these classes, email Anna at anna@raqsanna.com to receive timely updates about these new classes. Please note which class you would like to attend.

Join me in Beaumont, TX April 10th for Kitana's "So You Think You Can Belly Dance" Spring Workshops

In the AM, I will be comprehensively breaking down all the essential belly dance movements for beginner and intermediate level dancers. This one is perfect for those wanting to perfect their dance technique and better understand where the movements are being generated within the body. If you are a new teacher and you are having trouble getting results from your students, this workshop will give you some ideas and approaches, to get the best from your students.

In the PM, I will be teaching an intermediate to advance level workshop covering Modern Egyptian Raqs Sharqi. This workshop will include a short discussion on hallmarks of the Egyptian style and "what makes it look Egyptian" in relation to American Cabaret style. I'll teach lots of technique to help you Egyptianize moves you already know (and some you don't). We will also learn fun Modern Egyptian-style combinations inspired by the hottest dancers in Cairo.

Kitana is also presenting a mini-show after the workshop featuring yours truely.
Shaabi Chic and others will be vending!!!!
