*ZOOM - TUESDAY - 4 - 5:30 pm - zoom only - mixed level - EGYPTIAN DANCE - INSIDE OUT - You will learn the history and hear, see and dance how Egyptian dance has changed through the ages.

In other words, we may do anything Egyptian. I like to teach using the music and rhythm as the main tool - not drill unrelated dance steps.
