Specialized workshops focused on various dance styles and techniques, offering in-depth learning experiences.

This workshop is all about the sword! While not a traditional part of Middle Eastern dancing, it has in more modern times become a wonderful addition to American Oriental dance sets and is also a much-loved prop for fusion dancers! In this workshop, you will see why! Combining elegance with mystery, strength and power, you will utilize the sword in your dance to unleash your inner warrior. We will start with foundational balancing skills and sword tips, exploring the art of balance and control through powerful sword technique, expressive lines, and commanding presence. Then we will take it beyond basic poses – incorporating fluid moves, transitions and turns. We go beyond just a prop you plop on your head - to using the sword as a partner in your dance. We shall explore the aspects of strength and power in our sword dance, in the style unique to Ankara Rose - with strong stage presentation and inspiration from martial arts and the warrior, you will learn to put these concepts together to release and celebrate your own warrior within.
