Branka Kovač

Naša sljedeća gošća pleše već dugi niz godina i taj isti dugi niz godina oduševljava lakoćom izvedbe i tehnike. Njene izvedbe odvele su je na posve nove plesne puteve. Dobrodošla, Branka Kovač!

Branku do orijentalnog plesa dovodi ljubav prema arapskom i turskom jeziku i muzici. 2005.g. počinje učiti od Zuzane Uhlirove, i kroz 6 godina u njenoj plesnoj školi prikuplja opsežno znanje egipatskog stila orijentalnog plesa. U isto vrijeme, u Centru za astrološku edukaciju Igora Ognjenovića i školi tarota Maje Cvjetanović Laboš prikuplja ezoterijsku mudrost, i počinje svoju plesnu praksu gledati drugačijim očima. Kroz bavljenje orijentalnim plesom i kroz jogijsku praksu postalo joj je lako osjetiti suptilne energetske centre i tok prane kroz fizičko tijelo, a na radionicama Luke Klančnika produbljuje svoju povezanost sa energijom srca i intuitivne sposobnosti. Osjeća veliku želju da poveže svo dobiveno znanje i da predstavi ples kao iscijeljujući ritual koji je dio naše svakodnevice. Sa Marinelom Strejček 2013.g. otvara Centar “A’Mariyah” i ostvaruje taj svoj san. U sklopu centra vodi žensku ezoterijsku školu Spirit of Tara, gdje organizira holističke plesne radionice, plesno – zvučna putovanja, vodi školu tarota i daje intuitivna čitanja.

 

Love towards arabic and turkish language and music lead Branka to oriental dance. In 2005 she starts studying from Zuzana Uhlirova, and during 6 years in Zuzana’s dance school gains vast knowledge of egyptian oriental dance. At the same time, at Igor Ognjenović’s Centre for astrological education and Maja Cvjetanović Laboš’s School of Tarot she gathers esoteric wisdom, and starts to see her dance practice from a different perspective. By dancing the egyptian style of oriental dance and through the practice of yoga it became easy for her to feel the etheric body, energy centres, and the flow of prana through the physical body. Through the workshops of Luka Klančnik she deepens her connection to energy of the heart and her intuitive abilities. Her goal becomes to unite all gained knowledge, and to present dance as a healing ritual that forms a part of our everyday lives. Together with Marinela Strejček she opens Centre “A’Mariyah” in 2013. There she runs her Feminine esoteric school Spirit of Tara, in which she holds healing dance workshops, school of tarot and gives intuitive readings.

Ksenija Visket

Pozdravimo gošću iz Slovenije, umjetnicu koja očarava ljepotom svojih plesnih rapsodija Kseniju Visket

“When the question about oriental dance in Maribor (Slovenia) arises, the answer is PLESNA DELAVNICA ZAHIR, led by charismatic Ksenija Visket. At the beginning of her dancing career, Ksenija was a dancer of modern and contemporary dance at Stil, the most famous dance group of that time. After a long pause, she returned 15 years ago and was immediately enthusiastically involved in Slovenia’s world of oriental dance. The desire was growing and she made a decision. In October 2008, a small oriental oasis called HIŠA ZAHIR (HOUSE ZAHIR) was opened in the center of (the second biggest city in Slovenia,) Maribor.

The credit for Slovenia being regularly involved in oriental belly dance world go straight to her. She has been working with the biggest stars of oriental dance, therefore Slovenian dancers can learn from the best, even from the legends. She organizes workshops with the world-renowned oriental dancers every year. Among these are maestro Hossam Ramzy, Karim Nagi, Jillina with her BDE team and last but not least, the legendary researcher and dancer Morocco (Aunt Rocky) who is still her mentor and teacher. Ksenija regularly educates herself both at home and abroad (currently in Vienna with Katerina Joumanova and Keti Sharif), she takes part in various festivals, runs courses in her dance studio in Maribor and organizes dance workshops. During weekends, she trains in her studio.

Her philosophy in life is: “Life gives you just the right amount of everything you need, so be always grateful!”

Bellynesian

Irena Sertić Shireen

Kada pokušate spojiti dva egzotična plesa nastaje magija pokreta i emocija: BELLYNESIAN!

-Na ovoj radionici upoznati ćemo se sa osnovama i pokazati sličnosti i razlike između polinezijskog i orijentalnog plesa.

Bellynesian stil nastao je kao ideja da se stvori posve nova fuzija dvaju vrlo ženstvenih plesova u kojoj se spajaju brz i impresivan tahićanski i senzualni orijentalni.

Osjetite sa SHIREEN plesnu magiju dva egzotična svijeta!

-When you try to connect two exotic dances there you create magic motions and emotions: BELLYNESIAN!

this workshop will introduce you to basics and will show the similarities and differences between the Polynesian and Oriental dance.

Bellynesian was created as an idea of entirely new fusion of two very feminine dances that connect fast and impressive Tahitian and sensual Oriental style.

With SHIREEN feel a dance magic of two exotic worlds

_____________________________________________________

Vlasnica sam plesne udruge Shireen ,voditeljica rekreativne orijentalne grupe Gulbahar, članica romske skupine Romani chaj i hrvatske show grupe Trio Fantastiko koja na festivalu Oriental love 2015. osvaja treće mjesto u kategoriji show grupa. Ove godine započinjem s projektom organizacije festivala Oriental Fusion Stars u Zagrebu.

Moj plesni put počeo je jako rano jer sam se kao dijete bavila ritmikom i plesala folklor 6 godina. Fasciniranost orijentalnim plesom vodio me je kroz škole Zuzana, Nefertiti i Ritam plesa i na tom putu upoznajem se sa mnogim stilovima poput polinezijskog, tahićanskog, romskog. Jedno vrijeme članica sam i voditeljica plesne skupine Nefertiti. Rekreativno plešem kod instruktora latino­američkih, standardnih i društvenih plesova Tihomira Ciglara.

Želja mi je pokazati koliko je pozitivan ples kojim se bavim, koliko je nebitno ostanete li samo na rekreaciji ili se njime bavite profesionalno..jer bitno je kako dočaravate taj dah Orijenta i sa koliko nesebičnosti i osjećaja dijelite svoju plesnu ljubav s publikom. Jer to je ono što se broji i što vas čini jedinstvenom.

 

I am the owner of a dance association Shireen, a head of oriental recreational group Gulbahar, the member of the Roma group Romani chaj and a member of Croatian show group Trio Fantastiko who won a third place at the Oriental Love festival in Belgrade 2015. This year I am organizing Oriental Fusion Stars festival in Zagreb.

I started to dance very early, so I danced folklore for over six years and also trained rhythmics. Fascination with oriental dance led me through schools Zuzana, Nefertiti and Rhythm of dance.

Along the way I learned many styles such as Polynesian , Tahitian , Roma dance. For a while I also was a member and leader of the dance group Nefertiti.

Also, I dance at school of Tihomir Ciglar, a teacher of Latin American dances, standard dances and social dances.

My wish is to show how positive this dance is, no matter if you stay only on recreation, or you do it as professional. It counts only if you evoke the breath of the Orient with much sense of selflessness, so you can share your love of dance with your audience. Because that’s what counts and what makes you unique.

Mahraganat

Aleksandra

RADIONICA: MAHRAGANAT i umjetnica ALEKSANDRA KONDIĆ (AMANI ORIENTAL) koja odiše velikom životnom energijom koju uspješno prenosi na svoju publiku! Dobrodošli na njenu radionicu i nešto posve novo, živopisno i energično!!!

Mahraganat je novi stil sa ulica Kaira. Specifican je jer je zapravo slobodan stil, nema ustaljene pokrete, nema konacnu formu. To je ples koji je nastao na svadbenim veseljima jer mahrgan u bukvalnom prevodu znaci svadba. Iako nema specificnu tehniku, iako je mix hip hopa, funnkie, reaggeton-a, orijentalnog plesa, ima izuzetno specificnu energiju koju nosi sa sobom. Iako je nastao na svadbama ovaj stil nosi veliki bunt u sebi. O pesmama, ritmu i samoj tehnici cucete vise na radionici. Aleksandra je ovaj stil ucila u Egiptu od lokalaca i donosi vam duh ulica Kaira.

Mahraganat is a new style from the streets of Cairo. It is specific because it is actually a free style with no established movements and no final form. This dance originated at weddings because mahrgan literally means wedding. Although there is no specific technique and is a mixture of hip hop, funnkie, reaggeton and oriental dance it has a very specific energy. Also, although it developed at weddings this style carries a large rebellion in itself. More about the songs, the rhythm and technique you will hear at the workshop. Aleksandra learned this style in Egypt by the locals and will bring you the spirit of Cairo streets.

Amani je mlada škola, ali je njena osnivačica i instruktorica Aleksandra Kondić, umjetničkog imena Amani Oriental, već godinama poznata publici širom regije. U njenoj plesnom opusu se nalaze brojni plesni stilovi i rekviziti koji su rijetko viđeni na scenama širom Srbije, a a svoje znanje, iskustva i savjete plesačima velikodušno nudi na svojoj facebook stranici: Skola orijentalnog plesa i Arapskog folklora Amani.
Također, njen pionirski poduhvat proučavanja manje poznatih stilova Istoka je svojevremeno izgradio njen stil plesa. Aleksandra pokušava održati tradicionalniji stil kako klasičnog orijentalnog plesa, tako i folklornih stilova. Manje poznati stilovi koje za sada jedino Aleksandra izvodi u Srbiji su, ples sa shamadanom (svijećnjak sa vatrom), turkish roman havasi, Iranian bandari, afganistanski logari, klasični perzijski, poi voi velovi i mnogi drugi. Pored svjetski poznatih instruktora, Aleksandra najviše uživa učiti u Egiptu od lokalnog stanovništva koji nemaju veze sa plesnim svijetom, jer tako može prenijeti duh Egipta na scenu. Poznati instruktori s kojima je radila su Leila Molaei (Ir/UK), Simona Jović (Srb/Fra), Katherina Shereen (Cz), Mateja Mikulan (Slo), Jamila (Pl), Aziza (Ca) i mnogi drugi.

U svijet Zumba® Fitnessa ušao sam prije pet godina, a od 2013. godine i kao licencirani instruktor. Već nakon prvog treninga zaljubio sam se u Zumba® Fitness jer spaja ono što najviše volim: fitnes i ples! Često se misli da je Zumba® vrsta plesa, ali nije. Zumba® Fitness kombinira različite plesne stilove, prije svega latinoameričke. Osnovu Zumba® Fitnessa čine salsa, merengue, reggaeton i cumbia, ali Zumba® uključuje i puno ostalih plesova poput hiphopa, soce, tanga …. Zumba® je za sve, bez obzira na dob, spol i plesno iskustvo – zato je i tako omiljena.

Od 2013. završio sam i nekoliko specijalizacija Zumba® Fitnessa: Zumba®Toning, Zumba® Pro Skills, Zumba® Basic 2 i Zumba® Kids i Zumba® Kids Jr. Redovito sudjelujem na stručnim usavršavanjima (Choreo Jam Session) u Hrvatskoj i izvan Hrvatske.

In the world of Zumba® Fitness I entered five years ago and in 2013. I become a licenced instructor. After the first class I fell in love with Zumba® Fitness because it combines what I love the most: fitness and dance! It is often thought that zumba is a dance style, but it’s not. It combines variety of dance styles, especially Latin American. Basics of Zumba® Fitness are merenque, reggateon and cumbia, but also hip hop, soca, tango. Zumba is for all, regardless of the age, sex or dance experience and therefore such popular.
Since 2013. I completed several specializations such as: Zumba® Fitness: Zumba®Toning, Zumba® Pro Skills, Zumba® Basic 2 and Zumba® and Zumba® Kids Kids Jr. I regularly participate in professional training in Croatia and abroad.
