KHALEEJI DANCE 101
Khadijah, Fri 4:30-6:30p
(2hr ALL)

True culture and tradition: “Khaleeji” to refer to the style of dance,culture and music from the Persian Gulf or Arabian Gulf region, the “Khaleej,” including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The dance is largely improvisational, performed by pairs or groups of women for their own entertainment at special celebrations, such as weddings. As this dance represents many countries of the Gulf region, Khadijah will instruct proper costuming, musicality, posture, history and background and much more!


We will start off by having a brief cultural discussion about Khaleej (gulf) ways of life (traditions), mannerisms, cultural do's and don’ts, costuming, musicality and such. Next we will warm up to a bomb diggity playlist to get our blood flowing and warmed up. Learn ways to properly execute Khaleeji dance styles and put all the combos together to get it popping Khaleeji style! Let's get ready to learn and work hard!

  • Difficulty: All levels welcome
  • Please bring: your favorite reusable water containe. If you have a dance thobe, please bring that. (A large loose tunic, kaftan, or 'dance coverup' will work as well.) There will be some to lend, so don't worry if you don't have one!
