Full details

Brief Introduction *With Carla Sofia Tuesday and Thursday 13.00 - 14.00 For ages 16 and over NOTE: Due to space management, you must indicate the modality [in-person or online] when registering. Oriental dance is a dance of women for women of all ages and body types. This type of dance has as its main characteristic the rhythmic movement of the hips and abdominal muscles. It is composed of a series of movements of vibrations, accentuations, undulations, pelvic movements and rotations, which work the body as a whole. Combined with music and a sinuosity similar to that of a snake, these movements were originally an integral part of the fertility ritual and preparation for motherhood. Oriental dance promotes sociability, self-esteem, sensuality, strength, endurance, flexibility, coordination, body awareness and balance, providing a true inner journey. Above all, it allows you to discover that it is possible to have fun dancing, releasing and controlling the body at the same time, thus taking us on a path of personal enrichment through movement. The physical and emotional benefits of Oriental Dance make it a true therapy for the body and mind. TESTIMONIALS FROM ORIENTAL DANCE STUDENTS AT THE MUSEUM OF THE ORIENT: "When I dance, I am surprised by the strength that is born in me. Oriental Dance is lightness - it takes us beyond ourselves. Oriental Dance awakens the GODDESS within me! Is there anything more POWERFUL than that? It is more than a dance, it is pure MAGIC!" "Oriental Dance classes bring me many things: they help me stretch my back and breathe deeply, distract me from worries I might have at that time and give me a community with whom I can share the sensations and emotions brought by dance. Oriental Dance is much more than the imaginary setting of the thousand and one nights, populated by women with bare bellies and faces covered by a veil. Oriental Dance is a process in which the body is always evolving in the mastery of technique and movement. At the same time, Oriental Dance opens a space within us, so that each dancer can meet her deepest and dormant feminine root. And that is why it is important to dance!" ONLINE FORMAT This is an online edition, broadcast in real time and live through the Google Meets platform. To access, the participant only needs a mobile phone, tablet or computer with a good internet connection. Each participant will receive a link and password to join the session. If you have not received the link up to one hour before the start of each session, please contact the Educational Service of the Museum of the Orient.

Teaches in Lisbon and Bobadela. She regularly performs at various events, also producing her own shows, both solo and in collaboration, notably Corbeaux presented at the Alkantara Festival. She continues her training in this area, as well as in other dances, studying with national and international masters, allowing her to collaborate

Show original (Portuguese)

Breve Introdução *Com Carla Sofia Terça-feira e quinta-feira 13.00 - 14.00 Para M/16 anos NOTA: Por uma questão de gestão de espaço, deve indicar a modalidade [presencial ou online] no acto da inscrição. A dança oriental é uma dança de mulheres para mulheres de todas as idades e formas físicas. Este tipo de dança tem como característica principal o movimento rítmico das ancas e dos músculos do ventre. É composta por uma série de movimentos de vibrações, acentuações, ondulações, movimentos pélvicos e rotações, que trabalham o corpo como um todo. Aliados à música e a uma sinuosidade semelhante à de uma serpente, estes movimentos eram originalmente parte integrante do ritual de fertilidade e de preparação para a maternidade. A dança oriental promove a sociabilização, a auto-estima, a sensualidade, a força, a resistência, a flexibilidade, a coordenação, a consciência corporal e o equilíbrio, proporcionando uma verdadeira viagem interior. Sobretudo, permite descobrir que é possível divertirmo-nos dançando, libertando e controlando o corpo ao mesmo tempo, transportando-nos assim para um caminho de enriquecimento pessoal a partir do movimento. Os benefícios físicos e emocionais da Dança Oriental fazem com que seja uma autêntica terapia para o corpo e para a mente. TESTEMUNHOS DAS ALUNAS DE DANÇA ORIENTAL DO MUSEU DO ORIENTE: "Quando danço surpreendo-me com a força que nasce em mim. Dança Oriental é leveza - transporta-nos para além de nós. A Dança Oriental acorda a DEUSA que há em mim! Haverá lá algo mais PODEROSO que isso? É mais do que uma dança é pura MAGIA!" "As aulas de Dança Oriental trazem-me muitas coisas: ajudam a esticar as costas e a respirar fundo, a distrair das preocupações que possa ter naquela altura e dão-me uma comunidade com quem eu posso partilhar as sensações e as emoções trazidas pela dança. A Dança Oriental é muito mais do que o cenário imaginário das mil e uma noites, povoado de mulheres de barriga à mostra e cara coberta por um véu. A Dança Oriental é um processo em que o corpo está sempre a evoluir no domínio da técnica e do movimento. Ao mesmo tempo, a Dança Oriental abre um espaço em nós, para que cada dançarina se encontre com a sua raiz feminina mais profunda e adormecida. E é por isso que é importante dançar!" FORMATO ONLINE Trata-se de uma edição online, transmitida em tempo real e em directo através da plataforma Google Meets. Para aceder, o participante só precisa de um telemóvel, tablet ou computador com uma boa ligação à internet. Cada participante receberá um link e password para que se possa juntar à sessão.
