Under a Masri Moon

Join international artist Oriana for an inviting, all-levels introduction to Egyptian Beledi and its rich roots in Ghawazhee and Awalim traditions. This workshop blends cultural context with movement exploration, helping you deepen the knowledge you already have while expanding your movement vocabulary and understanding of foundational bellydance technique.

You’ll learn practical, applicable information you can bring directly into your personal practice or teaching. We’ll explore signature elements of Beledi—its grounded posture, expressive hips, and intimate musicality—then bring it all together in an accessible practice choreography to the beloved Baladi classic “Thatil Shibbek.”

Whether you’re brand new to the style or looking to refine your foundation, this workshop offers a warm, knowledge-rich entry point into the heart of Beledi.
