★WORKSHOPS contents
A、 Sufi Dances- ” Ritual Dances, Trance Dances”-:
Nadia proposes to introduce you, beyond the belief systems, to bodily practices from the Sufi culture. Sufism is a mystical tendency of Islam or a path of spiritual elevation whose quest is communion with God.
Refined and natural forms of expression that allow this fusion by the body: to unite the mind and the heart and give way to Love and spirituality.
A whole journey of bodily experiences is to find harmony and unity. These dances open on our interior and lead to what is eternal in us.
It’s a path that leads you to freedom!
B,Dances of Morocco:
The Moroccan folk dances, loaded with earth and fire, are still very alive in Morocco and do not miss any celebration.
They allow us to affirm ourselves by the presence to others and to ourselves and allow the expression of emotions, they are the soul of the people.
Nadia invites you to meet this powerful feminine energy often stifled by our civilizations. It is an encounter with its vitality, its wild and instinctive nature or simply an encounter with life!
C,Baladi Egyptian Dance:
Nadia invites you to the sources of the Baladi movement, dance of Egypt, where the breath becomes melody and where the beat of the heart gives rhythm.
The Baladi, expression of the soul of the Egyptian people, is a form of dance and music that develops in the twentieth century. This repertoire is the fruit of the meeting between tradition and modernity, between the rural world and the urban environment. This vibrant music expresses both passion, joy and nostalgia, hence the name, the Blues of Egypt.
D, Samai dance or Classical Arabic Dance:
Dating from ancient times, this dance has evolved in history and time.
It binds the sacred to the profane, the East and the West, and especially mixes many rich heritages of great civilizations.
Perpetuated by the Almea during the golden age of Islam, this form of dance evolves in the twentieth through the Egyptian cinema and large compositions more modern.
This highly refined form of expression is recognizable by its lyrical character and is defined by ample gestures, graceful and fluid. This language transmits an ancestral heritage and all the emotions of a universal human experience. It is a feminine and powerful dance with many creative possibilities. It brings together a set of rituals where the cult of beauty is an art.Nadia will introduce you to circle dance practices and invite you to take a trip back in time.
E, Full Moon Ritual with Nadia MAKHLOUF
Nadia invites you to take a moment to care for your inner garden or your unconsciousness. The full moon is an opportunity to clean up what is no longer in accordance with yourselves. Make space to your wishes or sow new seeds.
It is with moving mediations and symbolic dances that Nadia will guide you in this process of letting go, gratitude and renewal.
