Yearly introductory workshop to the Salimpour format 

Sunday, September 15th 2019

Every year in September, an introductory workshop to the Salimpour formats is organised in order to enable new participants to join the monthly workshops afterwards. This "special edition" monthly workshop is aimed at dancers who wish to start training in the Salimpour formats, as well as dancers who are already training in the Salimpour formats who wish to review the basics and/or start playing finger cymbals. 

In this workshop, we will look at:​

• Suhaila & Jamila Salimpour's biographies
• how the formats developed and influenced belly dancing worldwide;
• specific terminology used;
• rythm and how to count music;
• warm up and muscular strenghtening;
• basics of the Suhaila Salimpour technique & drills in motion;
• basic steps of the Jamila Saimpour format;
• how to play finger cymbals according to Jamila;
• cool down and stretching. ​

It is both a practical and theoretical workshop so bring a pen and paper to take notes. You will of course have the opportunity to ask questions. We will also look at the didactical tools  (books, Cds, etc) available for you to train by yourself between workshops.
