Description

If your soul and body are searching to explore the Eastern poetry through dance, to feel grace and elegance in every motion, this course is definitely for you!

About Azerbaijani dancing culture, it can be said: if we mix Persian dramatical storytelling, Caucasian nobleness and European ballet techniques then we will get a unique spectacular dancing style of Transcaucasian region.

Azerbaijan has a very rich ancient culture full of Eastern and Caucasian traditions polished with Western trends since the 19th century.

Female part of Azeri dance demands cunning plasticity of arms always playing together with neck and core. More often (but not always) legs together with their impact are hidden under the long skirts. That is why a female performer is supposed to catch the audience's attention with her expressive face, graceful arms, strong and flexible core, spinning technique and artistic courage.

I guess you know the motif from Eastern mystic poetry about nightingale and beautiful rose. Female party is an embodiment of poetic beloved Rose.

Azerbaijani dance gives to a woman a key to grow your Inner Woman to the purity of a Mystery Flower - symbol of love, passion, chastity and unearthly beauty.

All Caucasian feminine dances show the way to invoke Queen's energies spreading from body education to the whole being. Grace, gentleness and hidden power - the features you can gain while studying Azerbaijani dance.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who is interested in Eastern Cultures
  • Pros of other dancing styles who want to enrich own repertoire
