Raks Sharqi and female Orishas: A rhythmic journey towards the Divine Feminine.
Workshop description:
Ana will teach various movements, context, phrases and techniques that span and connect North African Raks Sharqi and Afro Cuban Orisha dances. Focusing on female deities of the Orisha pantheon, Ana will build a choreography to a musical score arranged by Franqi Corbea.
Ana has been studying Oriental dance since 2004 and is the co- founder of the first professional dance company and school in her native country, Cuba. She also studies Yoga, Afro-Cuban dances and theater, allowing her to develop a unique style through the fusion of these disciplines. She won various gold medals with the "Oriental Ballet of Canada" at the "AQDO" competition, and the "Belly Dancer of the World" competition in Germany. She has also performed for numerous international festivals in Cuba and Canada. Ana is featured in Tiffany Madera’s award winning documentary “Havana Habibi.”
Workshop will be given in Spanish and can be translated into French.
