Golden Arms - Raqs Sharqi Workshop with Rosa Noreen

Transform your dancing with Golden Arms

When we begin our belly dance journey, we often spend time learning isolations, focusing on separating our body parts.

Our arms can feel like an afterthought, disconnected from what the rest of our body is doing.

Once we realize the impact our arms have, it takes time and dedicated effort to refine the shapes, learn popular arm paths, figure out when and how to move them. At this point, they are perhaps still a separate entity from the rest of our body.

The key to taking our dance from awkward or unpolished to elevated and elegant is re-integrating our arms into our full-body movement.

In Golden Arms, I’ll share my signature techniques for creating fluid movement and elegant shapes. Yes, you CAN banish listless arms, shrugging shoulders, and floppy wrists.

We’ll explore arm paths that help to make the dancing of Katy, Taheya, Samia and Nadia so intriguing.

But it doesn’t stop there.

You’ll learn how to re-integrate your arms into your dancing, making them a seamless part of your full-body movement.

Attain elegant and confident arm movements through this unique Golden Arms workshop. Learn actionable techniques, expressive arm paths, and specific methods for re-integrating our arms into our dancing.

When our arms the last element that we focus on, they can seem like a separate entity, creating static frames that can be a distraction from our torso movements.

When our arms reflect our body movements as a part of the whole, they elevate our entire being, leading to more confident, expressive, and polished performance.

We’ll put this all into action by learning an extended combination that enables you to practice all of these elements with deliberate consideration for musicality, presentation, and interaction with your potential audience.

We’ll also warm-up and cool down with exercises that are relevant to our Golden Arms techniques.
