SAIDI WITH… CATARINA BRANCO

"Saidi" is one of the best known and danced Egyptian folklores.

Originating from the martial art 'Tahtib' of southern Egypt and traditionally only practiced by men, the Saidi dance is characterized by its strength and joy, its foot movements and the use of the stick/cane.

In this workshop, Catarina will teach typical dance movements with and without a stick and will develop the posture and energy typical of this dance.

Intended for intermediate to advanced students, a cultural framework will be made with the delivery of theoretical material and taught technique of Saidi dance framed in choreographic combinations for training.

If you are unable to come to Setúbal, you can participate via online through ZOOM.

Hours | 10 am - 1 pm

Location | Catarina Branco Oriental Studio - Rua General Daniel Sousa 116, Setúbal
