Of Lebanese origin, Cristiane Azem was born in Brazil and has lived in Madrid since 1994. She specialised in the Arabian and modern dances, while pursuing academic studies in the history of art, culture and religion. In 2004 she opened her own dance school. She regularly creates pieces (Drom, Mediterránea, Galata, Zyriab) inspired by Eastern dance and her origins with her company Fenicia. Cristiane Azem's website

During this course Cristiane offers the chance to deepen the link between dance and music, through work on traditional compositions and improvisations. Props (scarves, canes, candles etc.) are introduced in function of the choreographies. The energy, pulse and movement is analysed with an approach inspired by the Laban dance technique.

Efrén Lopez and Ammar Toumi accompany classes on strings and percussions, according to the proposed theme.
