Urban Hips' Signature Ghawazee-Inspired Improvisational Vocabulary, Zills and More!
Hearken back to the dance of dancing in the desert! In this course, Sahira will take you on a journey in to the heart of Egypt with Urban Hips' signature tribal style. Drawing heavily from the folkloric dances of the Middle East, the combinations in this course put a new spin on several ancient movements.
Each combination is first taught for a soloist and is built from the ground up with a focus on technique. Urban Hips then takes you through a few of the movements with exciting variations for troupes. A special section on music theory and zill technique is provided to complement the zill patterns used in some combinations. Included is a special performance by Urban Hips.
Suitable for the tribal or cabaret stage, "Folkloric Combinations" will take your dance back to its roots!

This is the starting point I wish existed when I began.
