 Learn an elegant and earthy bellydance choreography set to classic Egyptian mejance (entrance) music.
About this event In this 2 hour workshop, you’ll learn an intermediate/advanced veil choreography to Set El Hosen, a classical mejence (entrance) song originally written for bellydance superstar Nagwa Fouad. You’ll enter the stage with swirling, elegant veil work, then transition to earthy Egyptian hipwork. The overall choreography shows off your range as a dancer and is perfect for a standalone number or as a dynamic start to a larger set. Prop Requirement: one rectangular veil (around 3 yards long) made of silk, chiffon, or a similar lightweight material. Extra veils will be available for in-person attendees to borrow if needed.

This workshop is recommended for intermediate and up dancers of bellydance / raqs sharqi. The pace will be fairly fast in order to learn as much choreography as possible during the workshop.

You will be able to review this recording as many times as you like, so it’s a great way to learn at your own pace even after the workshop ends. Can I perform this choreography? Yes, go for it!

Where can I find a translation of the song we’re dancing to? Set El Hosen doesn’t have true lyrics, but it does have a lot of history! The title translates roughly to “Prettiest of the Pretty” and was originally written for the iconic Nagwa Fouad. See a full explanation of the song here.

In May 2022, an Aisha Studios Community Member + TXTURE Magazine Writer Lucy Sams interviewed Aisha about energy healing practices.  Here's an article excerpt, introducing you to our conversation:
"In the past, exploring anything outside of Christianity has often resulted in backlash for our culture. Times have changed and so have we! Many things that are highly criticized within the Black American community; therapy, veganism, etc. are now being explored with open arms as we as a people do everything we can to become healthy and whole; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As a highly spiritual person, the study of metaphysics has peaked my curiosity on more than one occasion. I took the opportunity to have a conversation with Aisha Cannon, a practitioner of the Energy Healing Arts to have a few questions answered."' No matter your identity or background, you'll be able to journey with me in the exploration of energy and learn more about my personal experiences and the energy medicine I have learned + currently provide.
