Discover the Heart of Middle Eastern Music

Join us for a series of 10 unique workshops designed to deepen your connection with Egyptian and Lebanese music, led by the knowledgeable and passionate Debbie Smith.

Why This Workshop?

As dancers, one of the most powerful tools you can have is a deep understanding of your music. This series of 10 hour-long Zoom workshops will guide you through the cultural context, structure, and dancer’s perspective of iconic Egyptian and Lebanese songs. Whether you’re familiar with these classics or hearing them for the first time, you’ll learn to recognize the nuances, lyrics, and emotional depth of each track.

Workshops will be recorded, so if you can’t attend live, you can still join in later!

What You’ll Learn:

  • Cultural Context: Learn about the composers, singers, and historical backgrounds of each song.
  • Song Structure: Understand the musical flow and anticipate transitions as a dancer.
  • Lyrics & Meaning: Delve into song translations and transliterations for a deeper emotional connection.
  • Exclusive Resources: Receive a carefully curated YouTube playlist and access to the workshop recordings.
