Raqset Kahramana

Raqset Kahramana is a classic piece composed by Farid al-Atrache, and danced by Samia Gamal in the film Afrita Hanem ("Genie Lady"), which stars both of them. A must-watch and must-dance for any Golden Era dance enthusiast. This program covers Samia’s lyrical technique and musicality, so that you can apply her signature movements to your own personal dance style.
Note: This music is labeled incorrectly as "Mkhtarat Wahab" on at least one CD in the market... but don't be fooled! The real name is Raqset Kahramana, named after Samia's character in the film. You'll enjoy the expressive possibilities we explore in this program!

"I have worked with Ranya live at a festival, via her DVDs, through her first Baladi Salon series and through the Ginger City Community membership. I have learnt a great deal from her analysis and movement breakdown. Ranya’s material is informative and inspirational. Her studies in yoga, Pilates and neuropsychology enhance her gift for teaching in an approachable way. Ranya’s depth of knowledge of Egyptian dance and baladi, in particular, is unparalleled. She brings to teaching her experience performing internationally, her research and work with key Egyptian artists such as Mona Said, Nelly Fouad and Nany and musicians such as Nabawy, who played in Samia Gamal’s band and for Fifi Abdou. I highly recommend working with Ranya. She has a lot to offer as a teacher and mentor; not only is Ranya incredibly knowledgeable, she is warm, open and great fun."
