INSIDE THE MUSIC

Do you want to know how to be more inside the music when you dance?
Susu, Nazir and Amina will be teaching a 4 part workshop series the first Sunday of each month starting Sunday January 3. Each workshop will ambitiously cover 2 songs (and a singer including information on the composer), the rhythms, maqam, phrasing, lyrics, movement, taqsim and more- all specific to the songs we have already chosen. 
January 3 - Om 
February 7 - Abdel Halim
March 6 - Warda
April 3 - Farid
No, you do not have to attend all four workshops, but we want to build and priority will be given to those who choose all four. Space is intimate - Amina's studio - with optional live music performance op at Al Masri with the Caravan Band.

$60 each workshop - Send check to 829 Elizabeth St. SF CA 94114

Email or pm me with questions or to reserve. (aminajune@aol.com)
