INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED INSTRUCTOR & PERFORMER
***SABUHA SHAHNAZ***
in a 2-day SEMINAR: 4-8pm Saturday November 17 (1/2hr break) & 11-4 Sunday, November 18, 2007 (1hour lunch)
GYPSY/ROMA FUSION & POP BELADI CANE
German-born SABUHA SHAHNAZ was fascinated by dance from childhood. Her research focuses on Oriental and folk dances from the Near and Middle East. She is a truly talented and amazing woman. Director of her own dance company and school in Augsberg, producer of her own videos and CDs, she has danced and conducted research all over Turkey (performed there extensively, including in Istanbul with Roma musicians!) and Albania (star of several concerts in Tirana) and studied with other experts in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and North African dance.
One of her favorite styles is Turkish Roma Oryantal, so Saturday she’ll teach a Roma Fusion choreography to “Mozarella” by Kal – “not to eat, but fun to dance!”, so different from the great Egyptian Cane to “Bi Lail” by Hisham Abbas that she will teach Sunday afternoon.
Sabuha has been performing for over 25 years and was twice a special guest teacher at Morocco’s Weeklong Intensives. Her performances and classes were so well-received, that the students and audiences are clamoring for her return. Therefore this concert and seminar!
Sabuha speaks fluent English and has published articles in academic and popular German-language dance magazines. Go to her website: http://www.sabuha.de and see some of her rave reviews (there is an English version). She is a wonderful, caring and meticulous teacher … I could go on & on…

Based in Cairo, this wonderful husband and wife team is known and loved internationally for the quality and range of their instruction and choreography. They’ve revitalized and improved the Reda Troupe, which languished for 10 years after Mr Reda’s forced retirement & when I saw a performance at the Balloon Theater this December, I could truthfully say that it was better than ever!!!
Both performed continually with the Reda Troupe from 1975-95, Magda taking over Farida Fahmy’s most complex, acclaimed solos & they are extremely popular teachers at Raqia Hassan’s Ahlan wa Sahlan & Winter Intensive seminars, longtime directors of the American University of Cairo’s Egyptian Folkloric Troupe & have presented Egyptian theater folk dance at 45 international folk dance festivals all over the world including Germany, France, Spain, Turkey, Italy and the USA.You know my standards and I can’t say enough about them in 1 flyer.
