A 2-part workshop series that takes the mystery out of dancing to Arabic music.

​

Part 1: Arabic Music Theory for Dancers.
Learn basic Arabic music history and theory to better understand how the music works.

​

Part 2: Musicality for Dancers.
Building on information from the Music Theory workshop, you will experience movement exercises for breaking down & exploring a dance music piece.

​

In addition to studying Arabic dance under international and national master teachers, Zulaika has attended Arabic music theory classes at Simon Shaheen's annual Arabic Music Retreat.

Bring Zulaika to your students!

From folk styles to musicality to technique skills, Zulaika will gladly share her knowledge with your dancers.
