                   Romani (Gypsy) Dance ~ Summer Dance Camp ~ 2016

 

                                           BANDARI for all ages ~ all levels

 

Bandari dance involves multiple people dancing, traveling around in a circle and

sometimes stepping into the center for a solo with encouragement from other

dancers,  The variations are in the arm movements that resemble a group of

fisherman at sea.  This South of Persian style is influenced by the African and

Arabic music and dance.

  

This celebration style enjoyed at weddings and other

happy times in life is for men, women, and children

together. Its a relaxed workout with challenges for

those who wish to excel.  The movement level will

be increased for more advanced dancers.  Wear

comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely.  

Hip scarves are traditional and helps the instructor

see your movement.  

 

      Continuing students will perform this dance

                   in the 2017 Spring Showcase.
