    Egyptian Music is complex and layered and with eras of evolving, changing music, a good belly dancer understand the subtle nuances that Egyptian music asks for. What is the energy of the music ? Heavy or Light ? Static or moving? Slow or building up ? the secret lies in the music. and to understand the music, we must understand the rhythms. We work on qualitative concepts, travel, energy and apply it to music ranging from Golden Era to current Pop songs. This will be taught in two parts through the rest of the year.
