Tammar Henna Choreography Workshop
Saturday 14th August
10 am to 12.30 pm
$30
Inspired by Naima Akif one of my favorite Egyptian dancers of the past.
This Choreography is a feminine, fun, sharp and lively dance. It will have you up on the balls of your feet . Tammar Henna means dates and henna. Naima played the part of a gypsy dancer in the film of the same name. I was struck by her poise and centredness and her sharp hips and sharp stops in the dance. It is evident by the way that she moves that she was a fine Baladi dancer as is seen in other films that she dances in. Please bring Zills if you are a competent player.
This is the clip with Naima Akif of which my choreography has take inspiration from.
