WHAT: Step into the soul of Turkish Roman dance with the intoxicating rhythms of live music by master drummer Seido Salifoski and master dance teacher Dalia Carella. Dalia is considered one of the top Turkish Roman teachers in the U.S. and internationally and Seido has been playing all styles of music all over the world for decades with his unique musicalitty, style and skills. Dalia will be breaking down the rich and raw traditional 9/8 romani time signature, Intricate hand and arm gestures, hip and pelvic movements, and rhythmic footwork. Dalia's deep knowledge comes from decades of immersion in the culture, learning not only from Romani master teachers but also in intimate settings like Turkish living rooms to weddings, and birthday parties, where she absorbed the dance's cultural nuances. Seido will be playing traditional romani rhythms during the workshop focusing on Ugur Style (slow) and Havasi style (med to fast). This dynamic duo will be unstoppable and guaranteed a fun experience! No skirt required. Bring a hip scarf or shawl to wear on your pelvis.
