TURKISH ROMAN TRADITIONAL
A must for everyone who loves this dance style! The focus here is on dancing to the exotic and sometimes challenging Turkish 9/8 Romani Karsilama traditional rhythms. Dalias unique approach simplifies this earthy style. Students will assimilate the hand gesturing, foot work, and distinctive Romani feel. Learn how to dance with the pelvis rather than the hips and enjoy working with all the Turkish Romani hand gesturing that Dalia has developed and refined for decades.
REQUIREMENTS: just your fabulous self, ready to dance and learn!
