Arab Sounds
There’s a list of incredibly beautiful recent Arabic hits, featuring legendary artists and rising stars. Loosely inspired by https://www.arabsounds.net/, a variety of styles are covered. How cool would it be to effortlessly intertwine few belly dance moves with your improv, for example, to music like Beraha Ya Sheekha? With humor and a relaxed touch, we’ll work on your dance skills. Sign up quickly for a trial lesson!
Trial lesson
You can take the first lesson of a course block as a trial lesson, provided there’s still space available. Contact us to register. You can also request a workshop. We’ll explore the possibility of setting up a new group together. In an hour and a half, you’ll be presented with the best of a previous season’s theme. Think, for example, of Fluidity, Rhythm Essentials, Flamenco Arabe, or Stick Dance.
Year schedule
Course year 2025/2026 is structured along 4 themes. You can register for a theme (7 lessons). There are parties in January and June. There’s music, delicious food, and you can dance to your heart’s content, without any set routine. Family and friends are welcome to attend. The lessons take place on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in the brick building at playground Kozakkenpark (10 minutes by bike from the UT!).
Course fee
A trial lesson costs €15. This amount will be deducted from the course fee if you continue. A single introductory workshop costs €15 (minimum 10 participants). A course of 7 lessons costs €65. After each course, you can decide whether or not to continue. There is a separate course fee for students and low-income earners.
Inclusivity
Accessibility for the male sex depends on the already registered participants. The Wednesday group has a core of participants who have been dancing since the foundation of Raqs Enschede in 2022.
