The performance featured participants in the “Arabeska” oriental dance studio led by Alicja Kowal and the “Carmen” flamenco dance studio, whose instructor is Magdalena Zientara.
An additional attraction of the evening was a performance by invited guests. A flamenco dance show was presented by the Flamenco Dance Studio of Katarzyna Radułowicz.
Oriental Dance
At the Oriental Dance School run by Alicja Kowal, women learn belly dancing. The classes are open to all women, regardless of age or body shape. Belly dancing helps shape and strengthen the calf, thigh, abdominal, hip and buttock muscles; the back and arm muscles also work. After dancing, the whole body is relaxed and oxygenated. It is also an excellent way to slim the waist.
There is no better method than belly dancing for relaxing and soothing frayed nerves. The sensual movements performed in this dance help people overcome complexes and learn to like their bodies. The confidence in movement gained during exercise also boosts self-confidence. The attractive dancers from BOK-MCC’s oriental dance studio can be admired at all major city celebrations, when they present their skills on stage.
Fiery Flamenco
In Magdalena Zientara’s classes, led by a teacher with many years of experience, participants dance highly rhythmic flamenco, a dance from Andalusia.
These classes focus on musicality and a sense of rhythm. At the “Carmen” Flamenco Dance School, women and men can discover their strength. In addition to its aesthetic qualities, learning flamenco helps develop motor coordination and maintain proper posture.
What is the strength of flamenco? It lies in the original melodies and rhythms, in the expressive way flamenco singers use their voices, in the chords of the accompanying guitar, in the enormous emotional charge of this music, and in the dance: impulsive, yet also full of tension.
