Ready to stomp, spin, and swagger? This belly dance class dives into Saidi- dynamic folkloric dance style from Upper Egypt known for its earthy rhythms, playful energy and signature stick (assaya) work. You'll learn the cultural context behind Saidi, get hands-on with assaya technique, and explore powerful footwork, sassy hip accents, and traditional movement vocabulary with a modern twist.
Whether you're new to Saidi or looking to refine your technique, this class will have you feeling fierce and grounded. Bring your favorite assaya (or borrow one in class), wear something that makes you feel bold-magenta sounds fun- and let's dance with strength, joy, and a little cheeky attitude.
