TAQ Workshops
Melanie Norman holds exclusive workshops on her own outside London and with the prestigious Arab Quarter Band at The Place, London.
Workshops outside London give the chance to experience Melanie’s unrivalled knowledge of Egyptian dance performance, choreography, teaching and technique without travelling.
The London workshops give a unique opportunity to dance with The Arab Quarter Band in a private and focussed setting where the emphasis is on making dancers relax in every way so that they may fully connect with all aspects of the workshop from their own well being and feel good factor to the music in hand, to the challenges they are given. Many go on from these workshops to enjoy dancing at The Arab Quarterly and their performances benefit enormously from this experience. It is a way to get spotted to dance at The Arab Quarterly!
These workshops are greatly enjoyed by all and dancers leave having had a rich learning time and a happy time. Places are always limited and early booking is essential.
The next Arab Quarter Live Band London Workshop with Melanie Norman will be at The Place on Sunday 15 March 2020!
