The course will have the following steps to it:
- Private assessment class for each student with a proper interview,
audition to assess each one's dance style, understanding of music
and rhythm as well as what each dancer knows and what she feels
that she needs to improve.
- This interview will be videoed and documented for the future
and studied by Hossam & Serena in order to assess where each
student is at.
- We will first of all handle your immediate obstacles one by
one and put them on the right frame of mind for the course.
- Then we will start the actual individual classes & group
course as follows:
a. Individual & Group classes of understanding rhythm. This
will include playing a percussion instrument (simple and not in
a complicated way).
b. Individual & group classes in understanding the musical
layers and how to break down each piece of music. Moreover, the
students will be learning basic techniques and choreographies
for developing their own styles.
c. Visual studies and discussions of various styles of dance from
videos as well as learning choreographies that portray the various
styles we will be studying within the Egyptian dance.
d. Home work, where each dancer will be given a private home work
to work on. Each dancer will be expected to do her home work and
record it on a simple video or DVD and send it to us by post for
our viewing, assessing, grading and marking of the home work.
You will receive your response to your home work by email.
e. Correction regarding the home work will be reassessed on the
following class.
f. Group video discussions about video clips from the "Stars
of Egypt". Assessing each
dancer's style, how she interprets music and how she executes
her dance presentation.
g. Group choreographies and designing of group choreographies.
h. Group percussion classes where you will learn to play simple
rhythms on a drum. (Tabla
or Duff).
I . The art of dancing to live music. In these classes, a few
instrumentalists (maybe violin and Nay and accordion) will be
part of the classes and we will be teaching the art of dancing
to live music and interpretation.
j. I will hold 3 special classes with some of my live musicians
for this course during which the dancers will learn how to interact
fully with the soloing instruments. Only for the participants
of this course.
k. At the end and after the completion of the course, we will
create a full show with all the dancers of the course being involved
in creating this show itself, this show will be with the live
band as well.
The students will play an important part of choosing the music,
making the stage design, designing the posters, leaflets and concert
programs, lighting design, back stage organization, selling the
tickets and promoting the concert as well as dancing in the show.
NOT ALL THE STUDENTS WILL DANCE A SOLO, but all will have
a solo part in the group choreographies , depending on how they
progress within the course.
LENGTH
The classes in this course will be held once a month and between
each class you will have some home work to study and to do. In total
it will be 18 months depending on each dancer's abilities to assimilate
and apply the knowledge in the course and of course the amount of
hours dedicated to the course.
This will be in addition to the time it will take to prepare for
the end of course concert and presentation.
We also understand that each dancer is a different person with
different needs and abilities. So while we aim for 18 months, we
will stay with you (within the realm of the 20 classes in all) to
help you achieve your best potential. We can never guarantee how
each dancer will progress, but we can help you as much as you help
yourself and work on your course work. But it is 18 months unless
there are special needs, where we would be willing to add an extra
class or two at the max.
FEES:
£2750 Pounds for the 18 classes.
£1500 to be paid in full in advance. Then,
10 x monthly payments of £125 to start at the start of your
course.
