Ranya Renée E-mail News
Greetings!

We are excited to announce that Nany is back in NYC and teaching workshops this weekend, Feb. 1-2:  Sat. 4-7pm and Sun. 1:30-4:30pm. Grab this opportunity to study with a technically fantastic, personally down-to-earth Egyptian dance star! Catch her NOW because it may be many months till she is back in NYC. Working with her is totally rejuvenating, and I'm personally looking forward to this weekend very, very much. Her style is something almost impossible to find in most modern Egyptian workshops-- pure sharqi without the folklore approach, and it's really an experience of soaking in the real thing. 

After this weekend, be sure to mark your calendars for these workshops coming up later in the year: First, GET THEATRICAL!!!  The NY Theatrical Bellydance Conference, which I co-direct with the amazing Anasma, will take place June 12-16, and dancers who register by Friday, January 31, for the conference can sign up at the very early rates for great deals on packages. The stellar teacher lineup has been announced, and wait till you see the amazing workshop topics. Schedule is up now too!!! (PS- here's a tip-- Sign up NOW for full packages and to get your requests in BEFORE a la carte options get opened to the public! Scroll down for schedule grid--shop will open in 1-2 days for individual workshop signups, we are almost ready for the onslaught of eager registrants!!! --keep checking our home page so you can sign up for your first-choice workshops!! Almost everything sold out last year.)  

Second, the NY Cairo Raks Festival will be April 10-14, and I'm very honored to be performing in the April 12 gala show. If you are planning to go to NYCairo, you can get a 10 percent discount by using my code (thanks Mohamed Shahin!)--scroll down for details below on how to do that--deadline is March 1st! 

Once my grad school schedule gets going again, I'll begin teaching in Manhattan as before... stay tuned for details! 

Stay warm!!

Upcoming NYC Workshops
 

 
ORIENTAL-SHAABI WORKSHOPS WITH NANY
Saturday, Feb. 1, 4-7pm
Sunday, Feb. 2, 1:30-4:30pm

Alexandria-born, Paris-resident Nany brings a delightful approach to Egyptian dance. Dancers have raved about Nany’s dance style and personality, and we are happy to have her back with us! In this New York visit, Nany will focus on mixing in Oriental styling with modern baladi-shaabi music, with different movements highlighted in each workshop. She is excited about this material and looking forward to sharing it with you! 

Workshops will take place at 440 Studios, 440 Lafayette Street (at Astor Place). The workshops will be in studio 3C both days.

Workshops are $75 each day or $125 for both days. To reserve your spot, send Paypal to office@ranya.net (choose no-fee option, and if you register for one day only, let us know which day you're coming). You may also pay cash at the door.


Nany will also be available later this week and during the weekend for private and semi-private lessons. Rates are $100/hour for one person, $150/hour for two people, and $195/hour for three people. Lessons can be scheduled Thursday-Friday during the day or evening (in Sunnyside, Queens at Ranya’s studio – no studio fee in Sunnyside – or possible rental in NYC), before or after the 4-7pm Saturday workshop, at 440 Studios, and before or after the 1:30-4:30pm Sunday workshop, at 440 Studios; contact us at office@ranya.net soon to arrange them.

If you haven't yet had the opportunity to work with Nany or to see her perform, do check out her YouTube channel. It includes her NYC debut at Drom during summer 2013, along with several videos of her performing at weddings in Egypt during the 1990s. The channel is being updated with some new-to-YouTube videos, so if you've visited before, stop by again and enjoy! And while you're on social media, be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event. ;)
