when I get to come home and relax from my busy life in Cairo. Though honestly, I don’t think I’ll be doing
much relaxing. I’ve got a pretty busy
workshop schedule set up for me, and I wanted to share that with all of you. I’ll also be available for private lessons,
and will be bringing plenty of new and used costumes for sale! Please don’t hesitate to contact me or any of
my sponsors for more information or to register.

Shaabi is a dance form originating from the
lower class neighborhoods of Cairo that has become extremely popular in the
workshop circuit. Learn about this funky, heavy and unique style with Luna, as
well as the meaning of typical Egyptian hand gestures. You will also learn a new choreography!
Tarab
In this workshop, Luna will explain the concept of tarab as it applies to Oriental dance. She will walk you through a brilliant,
emotional choreography to an Egyptian classic, and explain how to express the
lyrics without overdoing it and looking fake.
Saidi Tahtib
Tahtib is the martial arts version of Saidi dance, in which two
or more dancers “fight” each other with sticks.
Though traditionally a man’s dance, it is one of Luna’s passions. Join her as she shares the technical basics
of this interesting and fun style, and whips them into combinations that will
have you dueling on stage in no time!
teach belly dance, women can teach tahtib.)
