Iraqi Dances Series
Iraqi Dances: A special series of workshops with Andrea
Iraq has a diverse ethnic and cultural tapestry, with unique music, rhythms, and aesthetics that are quite distinct from other Arabic dances. Join Andrea for an immersive journey through the rich styles of Iraqi dance: from powerful folkloric roots to expressive modern technique.
Each session in this series of 5 workshops will focus on a specific style or element, giving you a chance to grow, explore, and connect with this incredible cultural heritage.
Each class runs 1.5hrs. Take any combination of the classes - or all!
Hacha’a (هچع): Wednesday 9 July, 7pm
Hair Moves and Shimmies: Wednesday 16 July, 7pm
Khashaba (خشابة): Sunday 3 August, 1pm
Chobi (جوبي) & Basrawi (بصراوي): Sunday 10 August, 1pm
Choreography: Sunday 24 August, 1pm
No specific experience is required, as these dances are quite different from what you might know as ‘bellydance’. However, you are expected to be able to follow instruction in a formal dance lesson; and for the choreography session, some familiarity with the concept of choreography (learning sequences of steps on particular music) will be helpful.
ABOUT YOUR TEACHER:
A popular Sydney-based performer and beloved teacher with Inspire Bellydance, Andrea has long held a passion for Iraqi dance. Her extensive training includes many hours of private study with master Iraqi artist Assala Ibrahim, complemented by immersion in Sydney’s local Iraqi community. Andrea is highly regarded for her authentic and powerful performances, which have earned her a special place within the community.
We are truly fortunate that she generously shares the rich knowledge she has cultivated through years of dedicated study and experience, making this specialised knowledge accessible to Sydney dancers.
