UPCOMING EVENTS

Winter Classes
Our 2025 spring classes are starting soon! And we have lots on offer.
In April we will be starting our Spring Thing class which will focus on Musicality this session. And speaking of music, we’ll be starting our hour long drumming classes in April too!
Then in May we have a fun folkloric piece, join us to learn a sweet little Saidi choreography.
Interested in some music and dance classes this spring? Why not try one of these!
PAST EVENTS

Musicality for dancers
In this workshop we will explore how to follow a melody and an improvisational piece (taqsim). Through the lens of Egyptian dance we will explore movements and combinations that flow with these pieces.
We are so thrilled to be working with guest artists Lina Kazan (vocals) and Daniel Regnier (oud) so that we can interpret through LIVE, real time music!
This is not a technique workshop. This is about musicality which means connecting movements in your body, flowing from one musical phrase to the next, and moving into your feelings and your joy of dance. It is a great workshop for any level of dancer, no previous dance experience is required.
Registration fees:
Current DancEgypt students: $63 ($60 + gst)
All other registrants: $85.05 ($81 + gst)

Musicality for dancers
November 19th Workshop (2pm -5pm)
In this workshop we will explore how to follow a melody and a improvisation (taqsim) played by a single violin.
And we are so thrilled to be working with guest artist Kim de Laforest so that we can offer this workshop with live, real time music!
This workshop is a great way to tune your ears to melody instead of relying on the predictability of percussion.
Space is limited so register early!
Registration Fee:
Current (fall 2023) DancEgypt students: $60 + gst
All other registrants: $81 + gst

Show: With Love, From Egypt
Join us as we take you through a love song playlist from different parts of Egypt. Whether it is music and dance used to celebrate the joy of a wedding, the classic and poetic longing of Oum Kalthoum or the modern Sha’abi version of ‘put a ring on it’, we will dance along to some of our favourite Egyptian love songs.

CONFESSIONS OF A DANCER
Come and join DancEgypt and hear the stories of our dancers’ journeys to the stage. You’ll hear heartwarming moments from the dance studio and tales of backstage debauchery (you’ve always wondered what goes on behind the scenes, right?) and of course we will share with you many beautiful dances that have inspired us throughout our journey.
