In Veil Fundamentals Unveiled, Shems will gently guide you through the complexities of taking on this sometimes temperamental but also exhilarating dance partner. We’ll practice different approaches to dancing with the veil in ways that extend, accentuate, and frame your body, movement, and emotional expression. We’ll engage in veil recovery techniques, while also learning to turn unexpected veil incidents into moments of delight. We’ll dig a little into the backstories behind our veil dance traditions as they relate to Raqs Sharqi (aka belly dance), exploring the shifts between garment and theatrical prop, and discovering the mix of interpretations that grew from the roots of the Middle Eastern diaspora in America cross-pollinating with local blossoms. All the while we’ll be studying and practicing the movement tied to these traditions and transitions. As a deep dive into fundamentals, technique, and dance practice with the veil, this class is designed to be both accessible to the novice with a veil, as well as offering opportunities to build an enriched veil relationship to more experienced dancers.

What Our Students Are Saying

During 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!"
-Yolanda

"I have been wanting to take classes at Sirena ever since their "open house" style day with previews of all the teachers and finally in quarantine have been able to take the zoom classes! I love them!! I have only taken zoom classes with Sadie so far, but they are a lot of fun. It is exciting seeing so many happy people come together to learn this beautiful art."
-Alex


"A wonderfully supportive studio with the most amazing, kindest, sweetest, and most creative teachers! This studio brings inspiring performance art and opportunities to be involved in new ways to Albuquerque. I am so grateful to this hardworking and talented community."
-Katherine

"This studio is my favorite part of Albuquerque. The teachers are excellent dancers, but also very fun and welcoming. I take all the intro and half the level 1 classes. It's my happy place and would be yours too if you sign up."
