  Back by popular demand – the Baladi Blues Academy – Practice Session will be hosted by Guy Schalom and Lebanese master out-player and singer Tarek Bitar and offers dancers and musicians a unique opportunity to:

  – prepare for auditions, competitions and other performances
  – practice improvising with world-class Arabic musicians
  – gain a better understanding of Arabic dance music (classical, Baladi and other folk styles)
  – have fun, meet like-minded people and
  – take your dancing/musicianship to the next level

   This is what you can expect:

  -Plenty of time to practice beginnings, endings and tricky musical corners
  -Detailed and clear explanations about the music
  -YOUR choice of music (please ask in advance)
  -Valuable constructive feedback from the musicians
  -Up to 4 hours of live music
  -A supportive and empowering environment among like-minded people who put dance and music FIRST.
  -Limited numbers

  This challenging work requires supportive people who share our ethos. That ethos is critical to all our education and development work – the music and dance come first with no exceptions.
