Sufi Dance Workshop

IMOVE Foundation

 pin Olympia Dance Studio

There is nothing but divine movement in this world,Nothing but love. ~HafezThis universal movement drives both body and soul toward the spiritual light of the heart, creating what is known as “mystical intoxication,” a feeling of ecstasy brought on by the combination of music, poetry and dance. The dancer vivifies this trance state responding to the powerful sounds of the daf, a frame drum adorned with cymbals inside, along with the ney, a reed-flute, the tar and setar (plucked stringed instruments), some of the key instruments which accompany the Sufi’s whirling, forming a synthesis of beauty and universal spirituality. Rana will teach not only the technical movement of whirling, but also share the significant Sufi’s movements of the hands and arms.WORKSHOPS GOALAn intensive work to practice the art of whirling.The goal is to find a balance between the control of the corporal axis and letting go.The choreographic and symbolic aspect of the Sufi gesture will be broached for a better understanding of the dance through the Sufi spirituality.Practical information:Elastic and comfortable outfits: pants, top with short or long sleeves (yoga style).
