Classical Egyptian Choreography Workshop with Helen

Come and enjoy a classical Egyptian choreography workshop with Helen. In this two hour session you will learn a super elegant vintage style choreography with a veil. You can expect high level tuition on how to stylize your moves and stage presence to create a classic “Golden Age” look. The workshop is suitable for all levels of dancer (except complete beginners) but is aimed at Intermediate and Advanced level students.

All participants are invited to perform the dance at the SMBA 20th Birthday Party on Sunday 16th November at Goosecroft Barn in Purley. (Though it’s not compulsory)

You can listen to the song that I’ll be using here:
