Description

💚 WORKSHOPS 💚
📆 October 15,16 & 18, 2026 – THURSDAY, FRIDAY & SUNDAY

MAHRAGAN 2026 workshops are created as spaces for conscious movement and authentic expression.
Each class offers a balance of technique, musicality and emotional awareness, inviting dancers to explore how movement becomes language.

Rather than collecting steps, these workshops focus on how you move, what you express and how you connect — to the music, to your body and to the space around you. Through structured combinations, choreographic work and guided exploration, you’ll deepen your understanding of oriental dance as an expressive, living art form.

These workshops are designed for dancers who want to grow not only in skill, but in presence, clarity and artistic voice.

📆 October 16, 2026 – FRIDAY

10:00 – 12:00 – SILVIA BRAZZOLI
Belly Dance Goes Swing – In this workshop, belly dance meets swing, inviting you to expand your movement vocabulary through new footwork patterns, rhythmic accents and musical structures. By stepping outside the traditional frame of oriental dance, you’ll explore how learning other movement languages can sharpen coordination, presence and expressive range. This fusion is not about leaving belly dance behind, but about enriching it — discovering fresh dynamics, playfulness and clarity that can be brought back into your oriental dance with more awareness and confidence.

12:15 – 14:15 – AMANDA ROSE
Raqs Sharqi: Exploring Expression through Movement – How to use body language, Energy, Projection and Emotion to communicate and create connection. In this exploratory and improvisation based workshop, dancers will explore how to use body language, energy, projection and emotion to communicate and create connection. Through a series of solo and group exercises, dancers will play with receiving and expressing ideas through their bodies, how to use body communication in dance, and how to focus dance on expression and communication versus technique. Be ready to be playful and get out of your comfort zone!

14:30 – 16:30 – ROBERTA GAZZETTA
Dancing Emotion: Classical Oriental – This workshop is an invitation to dive into emotional expression through classical oriental dance. Working with a tarab song and Roberta’s signature movement quality, you will explore how emotion shapes phrasing, dynamics and presence on stage. The choreography focuses on musical sensitivity, fluidity and inner truth, helping you move beyond steps and into genuine expression. Ideal for dancers who want to deepen their emotional connection to music and dance with authenticity.
