WORKSHOP - Eeben - Arabic-salsa pop fusion

In this dance workshop we will learn a fun and sassy choreography to a salsa-flavoured Arabic pop song, in Eeben's signature flirty feminine style. Dance shoes/heels are optional. Choreography music: Mohammed Assaf - Baddek Enayah (feat. Gente De Zona).

Eeben is a dancer, choreographer and dance teacher who currently works in Estonia, but over the years has performed and taught also in many parts of Europe and the Middle East. In addition, she researches the history of Oriental dance, organises events and prepares educational materials about Oriental dance. She is one of the founding members of the Estonian Chamber of Oriental Dance and has taught Middle Eastern solo improvisation and Oriental dance studies at Tallinn University's Faculty of Choreography.

Eeben has said that for her belly dance is primarily a way of enjoying life and being present in the moment. She has always been fascinated by the naturalness and expressiveness of belly dance, the power of the belly dancer, the mystery and femininity, the ancient roots of the dance. Belly dancing has helped her discover and many times rediscover the goddess in herself.

On 1-3 November 2024, the 16th Oriental Dance Festival takes place in Tallinn, Estonia.

Every autumn, Oriental Dance lovers gather for one weekend in Estonia to take part in the International Oriental Dance Festival. The annual festival is the biggest and oldest Oriental Dance event in Estonia, including dance workshops, a gala show, a dance competition, open stage performances and an Oriental Bazaar. The event brings together dancers from every corner of Estonia, the neighbouring countries and beyond.
