Join Nico this winter and learn a fun theatre folklore choreogrpahy! 

Saidi dance is one of the most popular folklore styles in the belly dance world. The music is unique, has a heavy beat, is bouncy, and is a joy to watch. Students this term will be working with the Tahtib, a stick that is part of everyday life in Upper Egypt, which was then adapted to be part of the staged performances.

Students will need a stick for this class- Nico can provide one for an additional $10 fee.
