Come learn Iraqi Dance with Lara Victoria! Come to learn about different dances that you will find in Iraq (kawleeya, Janoub, hachaa, Basrawi, hewa/lewa) and be ready to move and dance different moves and styles! You don’t need experience in Iraqi dances to learn and have a good time!
Lara Victoria is an award-winning dance artist from the Pacific Northwest. She studied ballet and tap as a child, but then moved onto bellydance as a teen after discovering her mom’s stash of vintage costumes. Lara has studied with many local, national and international MENAT dance artists. She has performed and taught in the US, Mexico, Canada and Austria. Her current focus is dances of Egypt (raqs sharqi, baladi, shaabi, mahraganat, melaya, gawazi, saidi, fallahi), Iraq (kawleeya, Janoub, hachaa, Basrawi, hewa/lewa), and the Arabian Gulf (khaleeji). Lara is delighted to share the joys of Iraqi dance with students and audiences of Bellingham this weekend!
