Oriental Dance

Course with Manis

Classroom classes will only take place live with participants at the tanzhaus. Should it no longer be possible to continue the face-to-face classes due to pandemic restrictions, the remaining dates would be cancelled.

In this basic course Manis will dance the most important basic dance elements of Oriental Dance with you.  Important coordination exercises like  hand waves, snake arms, shoulder circles, shoulder shimmys, chest and upper body movements and some, of the many different hip work, will be put together to a dance combination. We will dance to slow and faster oriental music.
