"Enchanting Dances from the Orient" taught by Hannah

Young students will delightfully swirl, twirl, and jingle through glittering scarves, artfully balance tea trays on heads, dance through a silken canopy, pas-de-deux with peacock feathers, and be inspired by the beautiful and joyful folkloric dances from North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
