Embark on a journey through the heart of the Eastern Mediterranean, where vibrant and diverse dances will come to life. In this class, you will be introduced to a selection of Greek, Balkan and Turkish dances as well as dances of the Levant and Egypt. We will dive into the music, rhythms, and meanings of the dances. Each class will build upon the last and there will be lots of review and practice. No experience necessary. Wear comfortable shoes and come ready to dance and have fun.
