Tunisian Dance Workshop with Xatia
Xatia started dance as a hobby at 3 years old (jazz, tap, ballet) and only started to dedicate serious study to Modern Dance and Classical Ballet while attending the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she earned her Graduate Certificate in Theater Arts with an emphasis in Dance. While attending UCSC, she was given the opportunity to study ballet at the Beijing Dance Academy in Beijing ,China, and at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, Denmark. She went on to pursue a Master of Arts degree in History from San Francisco State University where she completed her thesis on dance history, focusing on the colonial era in Algeria and France. She then spent a year living, working and studying in Tunisia, where she fell in love with the earthy, vibrant folkloric style of Tunisian dance. She was fortunate enough in Tunisia to undertake formal study of folkloric dance from Cyrine Hajri, graduate of the now defunct Dance Department of the National School of the Arts in Tunis, Tunisia, as well as learning informally while attending parties and social gatherings. She also sent a year and a half studying and working in Buenos Aires, Argentina where she studied the sensual art form of Argentine Tango as well as Classical Ballet and Pointe Technique with Victoria Mazari. She now brings her eclectic talents and experience back to the Bay Area, where she is also an avid student of many other Middle Eastern dance forms, as well as a performer with Karavansaray Dance Company and Farima Berenji. You can also see her perform Tunisian folkloric solos at various functions around the Bay Area. $25 in advance, $30 at the door, payable directly to Xatia (via PayPal, send payment to origamiswann@aol.com) For more information and pre-registration, please contact Xatia.
