[NADIA ONLINE] Special Summer Project! 「Arabic x Dance」 with Egyptian masterpieces!

 


Hello! ★ This is Nadia.
This is an announcement of the new term starting in August.


The content this time is pretty amazing. Super greedy! :)


In addition to the NADIA ONLINE's various classes of basics, choreography and yoga, now Arabic will be added as a special summer project.


August term is too luxurious, isn't it?


You should not miss it! :)






As a special summer project, we would like to invite Mr. Ehab Ebeid, a popular Arabic teacher, as a guest teacher of NADIA ONLINE SINGAPORE.





Born in Giza, Egypt, now lives in Japan.
Graduated from Cairo University, completed a Master's degree in Osaka University.

He has been a lecturer at prestigious universities such as Cairo University, the University of Tokyo, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, Waseda, and Sophia University, and currently presides over the "Arabic Ehab School". He has edited and published "Passport Japanese Arabic", "Basic Japanese Learning Dictionary Arabic Version", and many more.



In the class, Mr. Ehab not only translates the lyrics and teaches them, but also focuses on the songs, the outlook on the life of composers and singers, and the history in the Middle East including Egypt when they lived. He tells us more and more interesting stories about song's cultural background and how he actually felt as an Egyptian when he were a child.


It's hard to go on a trip because of the COVID, but while listening to his lecture, I feel like I'm experiencing a digital trip (time trip) to a foreign land, especially good old days of Egypt.






From a global perspective, many people who study belly dance and oriental dance are interested in history, culture, and roots to deepen the knowledge.


Isn't the reason why you are attracted to this dance because you are more excited to continue on a mysterious and exciting learning journey that makes you feel as if you are invited to an unknown world?






NADIA ONLINE's bellydance and orientaldance lessons are more than just exercise.


Sometimes you dream in music, travel in that worldview, sometimes heal yourself, share emotions with someone, and untie history from dances and songs, you may also find hits for the "peace".  It's a very epic, endless, eternal treasure hunt, this is your learning journey.


Please join us on this journey.
This will give some inspiration to your lifestyle.










By the way, in the new term, the song that we will learn is,
  

Ya Msafer Wahdak A Lonely Traveler
 يا مسافر وحدك

       



This song composed in 1942 by Mohammed Abdel Wahab, the father of modern Arabic music.

I hope to share both the Arabic lyrics lecture and the oriental dance choreography of this wonderful song at NADIA ONLINE in August, with various episodes related to Mohammed Abdel Wahhab and valuable stories.


Originally, it was a song made for that famous singer that everyone knows. Because the song was made so nice, thus, he sang it himself and announced it on Egypt's national radio broadcast.


Because it is a masterpiece, it was covered by many artists, but from the many versions I listened, I chose the most catchy, easy-to-dance, and wonderful version of the song that allows me to play both singing and melody with my body. 




Let me send the song to all the participants of the August lesson.



If you understand the meaning of the lyrics and dance one song as if you were humming, the world view of your expression will surely expand! By the end of September, when the term ends, you should be able to dance while singing the song.


Why not stay home and learn both dance and language this summer and at the same time make a digital trip to the Arabian world?


Let me start the registration now.
If you are interested, just send a message to Nadia.














BASIC CLASS If you are not taking this basic class, the way you enter the choreography class is completely different. The reason why you started to feel "Oh! My body moves!" is, because you have built up a solid foundation. Continuation is power. Why don't you create a "dancer body" and at the same time aim to strengthen your core and improve your basal metabolism?

YOGA is the Sanskrit word for "connection" and refers to the state where the mind, body and soul are connected. It combines breathing, posture, and meditation to relieve tension in the body and mind, and stabilise and ease the mind.

Yoga poses which calls "Asanas" have the effect of correcting body distortions, improving flexibility and physical fitness, etc., but combining relaxed breathing and meditation enhances concentration and a gentle and stable mental state.

The effects of breathing on the body and mind are so deep. The breathing method, which is also the basis of yoga, increases vitality and concentration by controlling breathing, and connects the mind and body.

It also has the effect that oxygen is sent to each cell and activated from inside the body. By expanding and contracting muscles and deep breathing, the lymph flow and blood circulation are improved, and the internal organs are activated, your body refreshed and comfortable, but it also helps prevent skin aging.

By the end of each lesson, it is impressive that the participants' faces look so refresh and sharp.
