Al-Andalus Camp ‘Classic’

Intensive week of Neoandalusi Dance by Nesma

Total Price: 1245 € All inclusive, full board accommodation in double room

Location: Casa El Morisco

Synopsis: This seminar weeklong, designed with the concept of an immersion camp and cultural exchange, is intended for oriental dancers who want to learn or deepen the Neoandalusi dance style created by Nesma.
If it is your first participation to the Al-Andalus camp, we recommend this version that we call “Classic” because it follows the same structure of the original that has been so successful since its first edition in 2010. The course includes an introduction to the neo-Andalusian dance style of Nesma, and workshops on culture, music, and costume design.
You will participate in a guided tour of the city of Granada with its Andalusian legacy including the spectacular architectural ensemble of the Alhambra. It is very important to understand the culture of Al-Andalus and a must for lovers of Arab culture.
You can also choose the Intensive Camp or the full 2 Weeks Seminar.
