Flamenco Fuego: A Spanish-Judeo Dance Fusion Journey Across Ladino Cultures with Najmah

Join us for a unique workshop exploring the powerful fusion of Flamenco and Middle Eastern dance through the soulful sounds of Ladino music. The workshop begins with the history of Ladino music and the cultural connections between Spain, and the Sephardic Jewish diaspora. Participants will then move into technique and guided movement, learning how to blend Flamenco inspired strength with the fluid expression of middle eastern dance and beyond. Najmah will break down arm work, hands, posture, foot accents, and traveling steps that beautifully match the emotional depth of the music. This workshop is designed for dancers of all levels who want to deepen their musicality, expand their expressive range, and experience a powerful, story-driven way of moving. Come ready to connect, feel, and embody the music.

Najmah Nour is a dance artist with over 30 years of experience in Middle Eastern dance, specializing in bellydance and formally trained in Flamenco.
