The peoples of Spain, India, and Egypt may speak different languages, but the language of dance crosses international boundaries. These are just three of the countries whose native dances will be on display at the Migrations World Dance and Music Festival, which is coming to Austin from Friday, January 12th through Sunday, January 14th.
Over the course of the weekend, you'll have tons of opportunities to learn distinct international dances at the Palazzo Lavaca, the Scottish Rite Theater, and the Hampton Inn in Austin. Many of the sessions focus on different types of belly dancing, which is prominent in many countries around the world, but dancers of all backgrounds are welcome to come and participate in workshops to hone their skills. Most workshops are $45 (although it varies from one to the next) and advanced registration is required for each class.
