Dar Tangerina Academy of
Middle Eastern Dance & Music


Formed in 2006, the Dar Tangerina Academy is run by Shema, International Dance artist, Writer, Musician & Henna Artist, providing Tuition, Workshops and Events & Study Trips to Morocco and Egypt.
 


Now based in the South Sinai region of Egypt, Shema teaches both locally and internationally (US, Canada, Europe, Morocco) in various styles of Middle Eastern, Maghrebi and Arabic dance, from Egyptian dance to folklore, as well as flexibility and fitness, prop balancing and floor work.


For private lessons and online tuition please see Shema's website www.shemaraqs.com



The basis o
f Dar Tangerina's tuition is in Egyptian dance which is now considered the 'home' of modern Bellydance. This is an elegant and beautiful style which dancers can adapt to suit their own abilities and personality.
Shema takes the safety of all students very seriously, so will spend time on correct posture and on building up the muscles to create strong and safe movements.

I aim to encourage students to appreciate the subtleties of
Middle Eastern music and how to express those through the dance with joy and elegance- this is achieved through sharing my own experience, expertise and love of this exhilarating dance.
