A complete journey for intermediate and advanced dancers who want to refine their technique, enhance stage presence, master choreography, and discover their unique style. Each course can be taken individually, but together they form a powerful progression—from solid foundations to personal artistry.
This is an intensive weekend with limited number of spots.

WORKSHOP 1 - Azad’s ABC – Technique & Transitions
Friday May 29th 17:30-20:00 (2,5 h)
We begin by revisiting essential oriental dance techniques—hips, isolations, footwork, posture, and transitions—with a focus on precision, flow, and stylization. This is not a beginner’s class, but a chance to strengthen your technical base and make it truly yours. You’ll work with Azad’s signature movements and expand your movement vocabulary with clarity and confidence.
Level: Open level (intermediate and higher)

WORKSHOP 2 - Presence & Musicality – from movement to meaning
Saturday May 30th 10:00-12:00 (2h)
Take your dancing from technical to theatrical. This course focuses on musicality, timing, expression, and stage presence. How do you captivate an audience? How do you convey emotion and energy? Through targeted exercises and short sequences, you’ll learn how to use your technique to create atmosphere, intensity, and connection.
Azad is renowned not only for his mesmerizing performances and magnetic stage presence that holds the audience spellbound from start to finish. With a strong foundation as a trained educator, he has a keen eye for each dancer’s strengths and areas of growth—guiding students with clarity, warmth, and precision. Under his mentorship, dancers flourish both technically and artistically.
Level: Open level (intermediate and higher)

WORKSHOP 3 - Mejance – Choreography & Dynamics
Saturday May 30th 13:00-16:00 (3h)
In this course, you’ll learn a complete mejance choreography in Azad’s signature style. Mejance is known for its variety, energy, and musical richness—perfect for showcasing both technical skill and expressive power. We’ll work on dynamics, transitions, accents, and interpretation, giving you tools to make the choreography your own.
Level: Advanced

WORKSHOP 4 - From Technique to Signature Style – Craft Your Bellydance Voice
Sunday May 31st 11:00-14:00 (3h)
How do you move when no one tells you how? This final workshop invites you to explore your personal bellydance style by developing your own movement vocabulary and artistic voice. Through creative exercises, guided improvisation, and reflection, we’ll transform technique into expression—and uncover what makes your dance truly yours.
You’ll gain tools to:
• Identify your strengths and preferences as a dancer
• Create original combinations and expressive movement
• Explore style, musicality, and character
• Shape a clearer signature in your dance
This workshop is ideal for dancers with solid technical experience who want to deepen their personal expression. You don’t need to be a soloist—but you do need to be curious about who you are as a dancer.
Level: Open level (intermediate and higher)
