Pop Choreography

Made up of a few combos that we will repeat with the music, students will have the time to learn the choreography and feel the energy behind the music. Lyrics translation provided. Dancers should have a general knowledge of raqs sharqi movements. Participants can choose to perform this short piece at Tractor Brewing Wells Park this same evening! **If dancers want to perform, they can wear leggings and shimmy belt with a crop top/plain top.** Please note that performers must purchase a discounted ticket to the event ($10). A link will be sent to workshop participants a few days before the show. |

What Our Students Are SayingDuring the pandemic Sirena World Dance Studio has been a saving grace! These ladies have delivered excellent virtual classes in which I've been able to keep up with my personal practice. I don't live in ABQ, but if I did I would certainly try an in person class. If you're looking for some make-your-brain-work world dance fun I highly recommend these mermaids!" |
