Here's a bit of background information about Anna, followed by what the workshop will cover:

Anna is a Bristol based dancer, producer and educator.
She grew up in a family of performers and producers, immersed in the sounds and songs of Eastern Europe and the SWANA region. She has trained and travelled extensively around the SWANA region, is the UK's leading finger cymbal percussionist, been performing for over 3 decades and teaching SWANA dance since 1997. She toured England with Turkish fusion band Oojami, shared headlines with bellydance superstar Sonia Ochoa, produced and performed in shows with English/Egyptian band Beledi Blues and highly regarded US dance organisation the Salimpour School, and been invited to perform and teach across the UK, Europe, India and the US. 
Anna has a reputation as an outstanding dancer percussionist, having trained in special Egyptian Toura (finger) cymbals with master Epyptian percussionist Hany Morgan. She is the only dancer in the UK to incorporate this technique with her dancing.
