This class is for basic introduction into the world of Raqs Sharqi dance.
.
Using dance as shadow work has completely altered how I view shadow work in general. This is moving for emotional release. It’s for channeling anger, pain, grief, excitement, passion into a tangible form. Purging that which no longer serves me by grounding into the earth in this bare footed dance of my middle eastern ancestors. Anyone who has experienced the zone of meditation, yoga, somatic movement will understand this feeling well. It has helped me lift colonized view of my body image. I came into myself with dance. I continue to nurture myself with dance. I danced with my child in the womb and now Luisa has given me the opportunity to continue dancing with my daughter as she drums along, hip scarf clad and all. This spring is beginning to call you to stretch your physical body and imagination. You won’t want to miss this opportunity.
