ANAR DANA : Seattle & San Fransisco becoming - ANAR DANA West Coast
The new ANAR DANA West Coast 2-2525/26 project is about to start. The next season of ANAR DANA West Coast will begin with a virtual intro session April 5-6 & 12-13, 2025. You don't have to commit to the project to join the intro session. It is a stand-alone survey of dances from North Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Iran and Central Asia. Come join the adventure from wherever you are in the world! Those who participate will help to choose the repertoire for the 2025/26 season of ANAR DANA West Coast. The project will start in June. Unit 1-3 focus on the basic building blocks and characteristics of each dance style (with little or no choreography) as well as music analysis and dance notation. It is possible to participate in these first 3 Units without committing to the whole project. Over the course of the project we will have 7 Cultural Talks, one for each region chosen. The Cultural Talks are always accessible online and are available to the larger community beyond project members. Just go to the homepage and register. There is also a large library of recordings of past cultural talks. We would love to have you come join our amazing global community of women! Remember: ANAR DANA is for everyBODY from amateur to professional, from young to old. We support beginning dancers and challenge experienced ones. Our community of dancers reflects the dance of real people in real communities, where everyone dances! ANAR DANA is rooted in tradition and blossoming in YOU! If you can't join us live, join us ONLINE!
