Broad travels and studies have given Shireen not just a knowledge of ethnic dances but an understanding of the cultures that have generated the dances she teaches.
Dance is about movement. And as cultures are different, ethnic dance employs fundamentally different movements and sensibilities. Getting
acquainted with these movements provides the dancer a broader context of understanding to hold all the dance moves found in the dancers everyday world.
This is a fun and enlightening exploration of an area of dance that many technicians never visit.
