****Menu:

Full choreography of a BOMBASTIC stage entrance (aka “majancé”) exploring our full potential as dancers and reuniting Egyptian classical style with a contemporary language; how to fill the space/stage with your OWN power, personality and charisma and leave a personal touch upon every movement you make; linking head and heart, emotion and intelligence, body and soul through magical levels of communication; how to express the Uniqueness you are and forever enchant your audiences.

Your OWN star* shinning – in dance as in life. 

***The importance of the "majancé" (term often used by egyptian musicians refering to the music that is composed for a dancer´s show opening - a free translation, probably, from the french "marche en scène" - entrance on stage):

This is your card presentation; the first time your audience sees you and the opportunity to catch their heart or lose their interest from the start.
The music we will work presents a varied realm of musical-artistic challenges (moments*) that will allow you to show your talent, personality and ability to fill the space with your presence.
Knowing how to ENTER a stage defines your whole Dance. It is never only* about the moves - it is about how much of yourself (your own heart and soul) you can deliver through those moves. Ready for Magic? Rare opportunity to SURPRISE YOURSELF (you will). Here we go:

****Material (you will need to bring): a veil for dance and an open heart overflowing with curiosity, eagerness to learn and be surprise and Love.
