We hear a lot today about women’s bodies, self-image, body consciousness, and self-confidence. One solution to improve body image and self-confidence is working out more and pushing yourself physically. And one option for that is belly dance.
Sausan has taught a number of women in workshops and her own classes. She has observed these women making huge personal shifts – embracing their feminity and personalities to achieve new personal heights after a few classes. We’ll be discussing the changes, the fears, and the accomplishments she has seen with this empowering dance.
We’ll be talking with Sausan, a well-known Egyptian-style belly dance instructor in San Francisco. She has been a belly dancer since 1972 with prior study in Flamenco, Sevillanas, Thai Classical Dance, English Highland, and Scottish Dance (including Scottish Sword Dance). For a number of years, Sausan has focused her dance studies on the dance of Egypt (Raqs Sharqi), its culture, cuisine, arts, and history. Since 1999 she has worked closely with a number of notable institutions participating, producing, choreographing, and/or directing many of its events, including the DeYoung Museum, Stanford University, and the Egyptian Consolate.
