The highlight of my day was doing a little performance with students at Bay Ridge Center .

I learned Mexican style cumbia back in 2000 when I lived in Puebla and would go out to El Rodeo de la Media Noche !! regularly . So grateful for my time there and the wonderful people that were my family in Puebla ❤️🇲🇽

Somehow I ended up teaching “Latin dance workout “ at BRC and now I have a family there . The best was when my partner - an Italian woman who may be close to 90? Hugged me afterwards and said ! I did it !! It was so much fun 🥹🥹🥹

Here is a little choreo / combo we did in class to the intro to Ya Sidi by the diva Warda.

You can join Raqs Sharqi basic classes and core / egyptian dance class series by going to my website :
Yourcorestory.studio

These steps are what came to me while thinking about beginner / intermediate steps for my classes.

Don’t forget I’m a white New Yorker who has studied egyptian raqs in nyc, paris and cairo. Try to find source dancers to study with. Learn about the music and artists . Learn Arabic ;) if you don’t know it !

Warda was of Algerian / Lebanese descent and was raised in paris and then Lebanon before her career took off in Egypt. Her father was involved in the struggle for Algerian liberation and decolonization . She began her singing career in her father’s Cabaret in paris which was closed by French authorities for its involvement in Algerian resistance .

I love that she later married esteemed composer Baligh Hamdi! Such an artistic union!

Listen to songs of the culture over and over - become familiar with the rhythms and patterns ❤️
