Dear Amara,
I invite you to
attend this exciting CHOREOGRAPHY workshop, party
and show focusing on Turkish Gypsy Karsilama 9/8
with Skirt and Tambourine. Can't
make it, you can order the DVD. The Kasilama is a
style of dance, a rhythm, a religion in Greece and a
traveling step. Turkish Dancers end their shows with
this exciting dance. You were not considered a Belly
Dancer if you could not master 9/8, it was the
finale of all our shows in NY"
The Karsilama rhythm is very unfamiliar to the
Western ear because Western music simply doesn't
use it. The rhythm originated in Turkey, and has
9 beats per measure, with an eighth note getting
one count. The word "karsilama" means "face to
face", which is a reference to a Turkish folk
dance that was traditionally done to music using
this rhythm. Learn more about Karsilama, cymbals
and music on
Shira.
"You do not
need to take the workshop to attend the party
and perform but it would be great fun it you
did"
Teachers bring 3 students attend FREE

Influenced by
Dalia Carella and Serena Wilson as well as
years of performing in NY, Amara Al Amir is not
only Egyptian Style. "My first 15 years was more
in the Turkish, Armenian, Greek style with some
Arabic/American through in. You were not
considered a Belly Dancer if you could not
master 9/8, it was the finale of all our shows"
Sincerely,
