The week in review

It was the last week of the current session this week, so don’t forget to enroll for the new session that starts next week!

In Beginner we worked on traveling moves: reviewed ¾ shimmy, learned double basic Egyptian, the tush push and grapevine. We also reviewed how to turn the Basic Egyptian, ghawazee and choochoo for tribal improv. We then did some improve dancing using all the moves and cues we had learned throughout the session.

In Intermediate we learned yet another way to play Kashlima on the zils (fast singles), reviewed our ¾ shimmy on the down, learned the cairo shimmy, the modified version of the Turkish crazy turn and Ababda Devika. We also finished learning the choreography to Hoplanda.

In Advanced/Troupe we worked on several new advanced tribal combos I had come up with during the last two weeks (Karate Kid, Shimmy if you Got it, The age of the Mayans, Stayin’ Alive and Flash Dance) we also learned the combo Steppin’ Out by Nadima, and the cues for the three combos we learned from Cathia at the workshop on Saturday.
