Step into the world of Arabic music and discover how melody, emotion, and movement intertwine. In this workshop, we will explore the rich emotional landscape of the Arabic scale and deepen our understanding of maqam—the heart of Arabic musicality.The maqam is more than just a scale; it is a living, breathing system designed to evoke feeling. As dancers, it is our role to honour the melody, reflect its emotion, and offer ornamentation through breath, posture, and graceful modulation.Have you ever noticed how certain Arabic melodies move you differently—perhaps stirring deep emotion or inviting quiet introspection? This is no accident. Each maqam is crafted to touch a particular part of the soul.Through guided movement and relaxed exploration, this workshop will help you:<ul><li>Understand how melody and maqam shape emotional expression</li><li>Explore how to embody musicality through breath and movement</li><li>Feel the why behind your emotional response to Arabic music</li></ul>Come dance, feel, and connect to the music in a new and meaningful way.Some experience in Middle Eastern Dance is an advantage.
