Shahrzad's 3-day Intensive (limited to 30 students)
In this intensive Shahrzad will share her personal approach for developing strong dance technique. Each day will feature conditioning, technique breakdowns, drilling, and combinations. Over the course of the weekend all of the technique and combinations will be combined to form an exciting and challenging Raqs Sharqi choreography.

What is the parking situation?
The El Segundo Women's Club does offer parking in back, but we'll need to squeeze in for the intensive and park in tandem. There is street parking in the neighborhood, but please read all signs!
I'm coming from out of town, where can I stay?
El Segundo offers many of hotels near by. With it's proximity to LAX most every major hotel chain is no more than a 15 minute drive away.
I can't make the Friday class but still want to sign up for the full intensive.
as of right now we are ONLY selling the full 3 day package since each class will build into the next class. The intensive will not be taught as individual workshops but rather sessions that connect into one continuous choreography. If by July 15th we still have not sold out we will consider opening up individual days.
What if I buy the full package and can't make it any more?
Unfortunately, there are no refunds. You are welcome to transfer your ticket to another dancer. Please note: You can NOT split your ticket between multiple people. You are responsible for selling or transferring your ticket. Just let Adrianne know.
