Yearly introductory workshops to the Salimpour format 

On Sundays, October 20th and 27th, 12.30am-3.45pm

You wish to discover the art of belly dance in general, or specifically through the Salimpour formats? Then these workshops are exactly what you need. 
Two workshops are planned this year :
  • Introduction to the Suhaila format and belly dance basics on Sunday 20th
  • Introduction to the Jamila format and finger cymbals on Sunday 27th
​Dancers wishing to take part in the regular monthly workshops afterwards are advised to take both workshops. 
There are no prerequisites so absolute beginners are welcome. However, these workshops are also aimed at dancers who are already training in the Salimpour formats who wish to review the basics and/or start playing finger cymbals, or to my regular students who wish to deepen their knowledge. 
​In these workshops, we will look at:​
  • Suhaila & Jamila Salimpour's stories
  • 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 (27/10);
  • how to play finger cymbals according to Jamila (27/10);
  • cool down and stretching. ​
They are both a practical and theoretical workshop so bring a pen and paper to take notes.
