Top choreographer hosts Middle Eastern dance workshop in La Ronge
A top North American choreographer of raqs sharqi, otherwise known as Middle Eastern dance, held a four-day workshop in La Ronge recently.
Yasmina Ramzy, of Toronto, was invited to the community by local dancer Charlene Bosiak, who has been learning under her direction for many years. The workshop was held Oct. 12 to 16 at Jonas Roberts Memorial Community Centre and it involved nine local participants with one travelling in from Saskatoon.
“I’m creating two choreographies for them to be able to perform over the next year or so,” Ramzy explained. “One is very vibrant, fast and upbeat, and one is very slow and emotional and romantic.”
