Another exciting project to come out of the People Dancing programme.
This time it’s the commissioned project form Stoke-on-Trent City Council – ‘World of Dance’ and a Belly/Arabic dance artist is now being hunted down to deliver four workshops in the area.
Four workshops, two-hours long each, will be devised as taster sessions in a number of community settings across the city. The council hope 25 attendees will come to each workshop, and 30 ‘shimmy-belts’ will be provided. The aim is for the dance artist to introduce people to the belly dance style – whether that be traditional, tribal, modern and form a number of arabic regions.
