 *Ghawazee Workshop - June 20 - Connecticut College, New London*

Habiba's one-day intensive workshop from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (break for lunch)
features instruction in Ghawazee technique, a Ghawazee-style dance
choreography, including staging tips, costuming information, and a 5 p.m.
lecture on the history of the Ghawazee and a dance demonstration of the
choreo by the fabulous Habiba!  Class will be held in a beautiful, mirrored
dance studio in the Student Union Building, Connecticut College.

Habiba offers total education in Ghawazee style dance for soloists, troupes
and tribal dancers who want to add this historical heritage to their
repertoire. The Ghawazee were the famous public dancing girls of Egypt, who
carried on the tradition of entertaining as a hereditary occupation. Habiba
has studied extensively with the Banat Maazin of Egypt and recently returned
from a special trip where she studied with Khairiyya Maazin, the last of her
family who actively performs.

The cost for all this is only $70 in advance ($75 at the door). Shop for
lovely costumes and dance goodies with Farasha & Su'ad Dance & Designs all

 *Introducing....Su'ad*

Since 1981, Su'ad has been a continuous student and practitioner of Near and
Middle Eastern Dance. She teaches at all levels, and specializes in both
oriental and folkloric styles of dance. She works on body mechanics, musical
interpretation and dance expression, as well as the study of the origins of
this art (both regional and historical). She has coined the concepts "
Dancing with the Brain and Soul " and "Dance Dynamics". Since 1991, Su'ad
has been Artistic Director of Desert Moon Dancers. She also co-sponsors and
co-teaches workshops in the Northeast with Farasha of New Jersey, including
Master teacher seminars. Su'ad is also a member of the Society for Creative
Anachronism (SCA), where she specializes in teaching historical
interpretations of ethnic dance. She & Farasha have both received the SCA's
highest award for teaching and dancing. Su'ad was co-organizer of a unique
dance event for 2006 - the first New England based Symposium on Near and
Middle Eastern Dance. Unlike the usual dance workshop, the Symposium focused
on both movement classes with master teachers and researchers and academic
classes.

dance career in Harrisburg, PA in the early 1980's as a member of Troupe

lecture/seminars for various educational and community groups, including the
Girl Scouts, Rutgers University, Hillsborough and Jackson public libraries,

Farrah's final concert video, A Journey. As a member of Morocco's Casbah
