DANC 121 SC - Raqs Al Sharqi Level II - Egyptian Style Belly Dance


This class builds upon the isolation technique, basic footwork, combinations and drills covered in level 1 to develop in-class group choreography and train in improvisational skills, layering, and advanced rhythms on finger cymbals (sagat). Students gain greater proficiency dancing to Arabic rhythms and musical styles. We also continue to expand upon the historical and analytical insights about the dance by focusing on texts discussing the dance in relation to race, gender, sexuality and circulation. Repeatable once.

Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Occasionally
