Viviana allows this young audience to familiarise itself with the Eastern discipline in a fun atmosphere that is adapted to children, all the while emphasising body positions, balance, grounding, and the importance of listening to rhythm, being aware of oneself and of the space around you.
This class makes full use of accessories and props: headscarves, scarves, small sticks and so forth. This rounds out the basic programme with a view to developing the children’s coordination on the one hand, and encouraging spontaneous and creative movements on the other.
Viviana is trained in many styles of dance and is of Italian-Swiss origin. Having always been passionate about Eastern dance and melodies, she began training in 1985 with renowned artists, principally of Egyptian and Moroccan origin, before developing her own style.

This introductory dance class aims to explore the different possibilities of a body in movement by linking it to natural elements such as water, fire, earth – the elements form the common thread.

Chaleureuses, conviviales, les danses colombiennes sont un moyen d'expression corporelle et une façon de pénétrer un autre monde. La salsa et la cumbia sont deux des styles les plus connus.

With Mariya Khan
These dances belong to several distinct categories: work dances, ritual dances, military dances and women's traditional dances. Attention is drawn to the upper part of the body: the head, the movements of the arms and hands, as well as the dancer's facial expression.
Shahab Eghbali
While the Daf is a large, framed drum, used to accompany Iran’s Kurdish music, it is also widely played across the Middle East and in Central Asia.
