2009 Workshop with Elize Olmi ~ October 17th & 18th

By admin on August 02nd, 2009 at 11:36pm

Turkish Roman & Turkish Oriental Workshop with Elise Olmi

Elise is a Montreal-based dancer who adores both the Turkish and Egyptian styles of Oriental dance.



Elise is an enthusiastic traveller who has made many journeys to the Middle East for over 16 years and it was through the beautiful Turkish and Arabic music encountered during her Middle-Eastern journeys that she was first drawn to Oriental Dance. From the time of her first foray into the art form in 1999, Elise became instantly hooked, and has pursued training through numerous Oriental dance intensives in Canada, the US, and Egypt as well as private dance classes in Istanbul and Cairo. In the last 3 years Elise has performed in Istanbul with a Turkish roman orchestra for the Holiday season.

Elise takes every opportunity to let herself be inspired by Middle Eastern dancers in formal and informal settings. This has allowed her to further her knowledge and understanding of the rich variety of music and dance that can be found throughout this part of the world. Her journeys have included extended stays in Egypt and Turkey, which have helped her develop her connection to the music and cultivate a style that reflects her own personality.

With her genuine heart, Elise is never one to play too much of the diva. It is her pleasure to entertain and make people happy; her performances showcase an honest dedication to performance and passionate feeling for the music.

By the end of the week-end students will have learned key elements to a complete Turkish style set including increased familiarity with the 9/8 rhythm, turkish oriental entrance, an intricate drum solo & turkish roman stylings.
