Soufi dance
Rana Gorgani
Orient | Dance
This course, based on the Sufi tradition of whirling dance, is accessible to all. You can begin your practice of Samâ (Sufi dance) at any time during the year. The class starts with a listening meditation that offers better understanding of Samâ, which means spiritual listening.
The first part of our practice allows us to unify the three elements essential to whirling: body, space and time. After having studied the spiral movement technique, the workshop finishes with 'free' Samâ, where each person can experiment with their meditative state as they wish.
Bring a bottle of water.
Wear comfortable clothing, with matching colours, and socks. Sufi skirts are provided.
