In Spanish.

Starting this November, our Middle Eastern dance classes will be returning to Casa Árabe’s Cordoba headquarters. Two levels are offered (beginning and intermediate) with different schedules.

Designed as a way to promote a cultivated, humanistic view of Arab dance, distanced from stereotypes and frivolity, Casa Árabe’s Middle Eastern dance courses attempt to increase knowledge about the techniques, music and cultural context in which Middle Eastern dance has developed.

The therapeutic benefits which are obtained include postural re-education, strengthening of the back, removing physical and emotional blockages and increasing self-esteem. The ambience in class will promote a spirit of fellowship and creativity.

The courses will be given by Ignacio Velarde “Zuel”, a dancer with a lengthy professional career, director of the cultural magazine Añil Danza, holder of a degree in Dramatic Arts and with a strong background in stage arts education.

The classes will take place from November 2015 to May 2016 at Casa Árabe’s headquarters in Cordoba (at Calle Samuel de los Santos Gener, 9), with the possibility of registering on a monthly basis. Each class will last one hour and a half. Classes will be given once per week. Two levels are offered: beginning and intermediate, with different prices based on schedules. When the course ends, those attending will be given a certificate of participation.

Further information on schedules, prices and the registration procedure can be founded at the bottom of this page and in this brochure. The registration form can be downloaded by following this link.
