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
JINGLE BELTS 2: THE REMINGLING
This party is open to all! No ticket cost, but we ask that you bring a potluck item (or items) to share. We will also be collecting donations of clean and warm clothes (socks, mittens, toques, scarves, coats, etc.) that will be given to Saskatonians in need.
COMPETITION ANNOUNCEMENT! Do you get the holiday competition itch? Thought so! We love us a good Costume Contest, but we also like themed parties, so we’re having a Christmas Costume Contest! There are ***NO RULES*** on what your costume can entail, so feel free to go wild! There will be a dancing portion of the contest in your costume, after which, the winners will be decided by applause-o-meter.
If you’re planning on attending, please RSVP via our Facebook event and comment with the potluck item(s) you plan to bring.

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.
