 The Shikkatt or Moroccan Shaiibi : widely listened to by Moroccans, used to express people's political views and feelings via various groups, danced in all different occasions, the dance requires different shoulder shimmies, and circles and some hair sways, an absolute joy and fun to do. Please note, this is quite a high energy workshop.

Moroccan Hip Hop : New trend dance style, only performed by the younger migrant generation, reflects the loss of identity and future. This dance has become extremely popular after the tragedy of the Fnaire dance Group.

MOROCCAN SHIKHAT An absolute joy and fun to do, shikhat involves shoulder shimmies, circles and hair tossing and expresses energy and emotion through group movement.

GUEDRA  Guedra  hand movements express symbolic meanings, addressing the four elements and blessing all present. (This trance dance of the Blue People of the Sahara is performed on the knees.)

BERBER SHLOUGH DANCE    This line dance, in which dancers  move as a single unit, is spectacular to watch. A powerful energy is produced from its combination of handclapping and stomping feet.
