The Yasi Way
Together, let’s unravel the Western constructs that have tangled up Raqs Sharqi.
Yasmina Ramzy’s 43 years of creating choreography, performing, and teaching Raqs Sharqi dance in 70 cities worldwide, including six in the Middle East, plus her 43 years of performing with or directing live Arab musicians, are uniquely integrated with her 47 years of teaching mysticism.
The Yasi Way of teaching - Body, Heart, & Soul
BODY - Be dynamically grounded. Release effort. Allow room for your heart and soul to manifest physically.
HEART - Passionately express Middle Eastern music. Ignite imagination. Discover the poetry your heart aches to deliver.
SOUL - Who is floating on music and swimming in emotion? Who is this distinctive artist the world has been waiting for? You.
Recorded & live online Sundays 9am PST / 12pm EST / 6pm GMT
