From complete beginner to Performance level...
Whatever level you dance at, you’ll find something here to suit you.
A Mazazik class combines a near-complete physical workout; toning, aerobic, improving posture, flexibility and core stability.
But the important thing is - you'll learn to dance. To move with beauty, grace and power. To understand the music and gain confidence in expressing it.
From Arabic pop and simple Egyptian music and drums in level 1, to complex baladi and classical Arabic music in level 2. As well as Latin, Spanish, Celtic, Turkish, African ……
"Dancing can reveal all the mystery that music conceals."
- Charles Baudelaire
