The First International Belly Dance Congress - part 1: workshop with Randa Kamel Author: Paul During the first Belly Dance Congress, I had the opportunity to attend workshops with some of the most famous belly dancers from around the world. In these blogs I will describe my impressions on some of the belly dance workshops I attended at the congress. The first workshop I attended on Saturday morning was two hours with Randa Kamel, on Randa's style and technique. The workshop with Randa Kamel was jammed packed, as Randa is an internationally well known and appreciated belly dancer from Egypt. Fortunately, Randa managed very well with the lack of space, by splitting the dancers into groups and dancing in different parts of the room, so everybody could see and follow her. The workshop with Randa Kamel was the most energetic workshop I attended during the International Belly Dance Congress. It was fun, physically demanding and it was great to have an insight into the style of this energetic belly dancer. Randa Kamel is a lovely teacher, very approachable and the workshop was even nicer because a drummer was playing live music for us. Randa Kamel performed on Sunday night at the Belly Dance Congress. Her performance was great; I loved her style, and so did the rest of the audience, who cheered at her enthusiastically.
