OZGEN is known and loved internationally for the quality and range of his instruction and choreography. He has performed, taught, choreographed and directed for the last 15 years. In Istanbul, he starred in “Night of the Sultans”, combining contmporary dance, ballet and Oryantal dance and taught them for several years.
He is now based in London, teaching and performing Turkish
Oryantal and Romany dance internationally.
In January, 2009, when OZGEN was a surprise guest performer in my weeklong opening concert, he had the audience screaming for more. It took this long to get him back here! Charisma, technique, drama, choreography, looks and so, so sexy!!
TAKE YOUR OWN DANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL AT THIS SEMINAR!!!
On Saturday, Ozgen will teach how to interpret the rhythms in the music and wow the audience with your moves, undulations, travelling steps and shimmies.
On Sunday he will teach deep technique and steps of Roman dance and how the movements work in that special 9/8. It’s important to know the cultural background of this dance, to understand the gestures and hand moves and their meaning and significance.
