Beginners
II
Building on the basics learned in
one or more sessions of Beginner classes,
these classes will introduce additional
movements as well as increasing the speed of
the basic movements. Students will develop
their understanding of Arabic music and will
gradually dance more freely while following
the teacher.
[TOP]
Intermediate
For students who have mastered
the basic skills and techniques learned at
Oasis Studio. Students will explore additional
movements and combinations by following the
teacher. Veil, finger cymbals and stick skills
will be developed. A routine may be taught in
addition to students developing their
improvisational dancing.
[TOP]
Advanced
For students who are seeking
additional challenge to further their dance
skills and continue their mastery of finger
cymbals (sagat), veil, and stick (assaya) as
well as various different styles (raks sharki,
folkloric, classic, pop, drum solo). Students
should be comfortable with improvisational
dancing on their own and may be called upon to
develop their own short routines. A
challenging routine may be taught. Students
should obtain approval from their Oasis
teacher before joining this level.

Professional
Coaching
For those advanced dancers who
are interested in being challenged to their
fullest while learning what it takes to put
together a complete professional performance.
Dynamic entrances and exits; components of a
full performance; choosing appropriate music
and costuming for your venue; understanding
Arabic audiences; differences between
restaurants, weddings and theatre shows; and
negotiating appropriate fees for your art are
but a few of the important skills a
professional should possess. Class will
involve short solo performances and
individualized critique by Denise and/or
Ahmed. Dancers must consult with Denise before
taking this class. By request; limited
registration.
[TOP]
Workshops
Mini
workshops targeted to various specific topics
and skills in Oriental dance. Topics may range
from shimmy drills, finger cymbals, stick,
Isis wings, folkloric styles, beautiful arms,
veil and double veil to name a few.
Prices and dates to be announced.

Private
and Semi-private classes
Tailored to the student's
individual needs and requests, private lessons
offer the benefit of personalized attention
and correction for faster learning. Students
may choose to work on movement technique,
learn a specific prop or style, get help in
the preparation of a performance, or have
critique of a routine that they are
developing. Timing of private lessons is
subject to availability of the studio.
$100/hour with Oasis teachers.
