Hello, all:
Beginning in April 2005, Al-Masri Restaurant will sponsor the Sausan
Academy™ of Egyptian Dance in a monthly 3-Hour Sunday Workshop,
primarily in classic Egyptian musical pieces that have become standards
in the industry and which various renditions are available through
numerous distribution centers across the globe and on the Internet.
Although initially a Western concept, choreography is an effective
way to train oneself in listening and dancing to the music. In addition
to choreography, workshops in Arabic music theory and dance costuming
will be offered secondarily from time to time.
Below listed is a schedule for the 3-Hour Sunday Workshops in Egyptian
Style Belly Dance. All Workshops are $40 in advance and $50 at the
door, and includes refreshments and workshop material. Some items
relative to the workshop may be for sale in addition to the workshop
material. All 3-Hour Sunday Workshops will be taught using the Sausan
Method of Egyptian Dance Technique. Classes are limited to 25 persons.
Dance choreography workshops are for women ONLY who are serious
students of Egyptian style dance. No exceptions. All other workshops
not specific to dance choreography may include males.
Workshops begin at 1:00 PM SHARP and ends around 4:00 PM.
Your time is valuable so please warm up on your own time before
the start of the workshop.
Studio address is 564 Monterey Boulevard, San Francisco,
close to San Francisco City College right up the street from BART.
Please wear comfortable noiseless apparel.
