Dear Dance & Music Friends,
Happy New Year 2023!
We are offering a Kurdish Folk Dance Workshop Series via Zoom for 3 weeks in February
- Traditional Kurdish dances and songs are part of Kurdish cultural heritage.
- The Kurdish region lies in the northern part of the Middle East, along the Zagros and Taurus Mountains, covering an area that includes:
- Kurdistan region: Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria.
- Govend means “singing and dancing” in Kurdish.
- In this course, Arjen will teach traditional and basic Kurdish dances which he has collected from all over the area, along with their variations
- Classes will be held on Saturdays, February 4th, 11th, 18th from 12:00pm (noon) until 2:00pm (EST = Eastern Standard Time)
- In these 3 classes / weeks, we will study basic movements and learn some of the most common Kurdish Folk Dances.
- After these 3 weeks, Arjen is open to continuing the lessons as desired.
