Workshops and masterclasses

Workshops and masterclasses of Oriental dance allow particular subjects to be explored in depth. They allow years of research and experience to be delivered in a clear and accurate manner.

What are zills ?

Zills ("sagât" in Arabic) are small metal cymbals held in the palm of one's hand. They are percussion instruments used in traditional music-making and they give a typically Eastern flavour when played. Gypsy dancers (ghawazees) and Eastern dancers use them too with more basic rhythms to accompany their movements.

Extract from project "Kilim".
Frank Kalisz : davoul, Louai El Ali : derboukka, Eve : sagattes

Clément d’Alexandrie en attribue l’invention aux Siciliens, & en défend l’usage aux Chrétiens, à cause des mouvemens & des gestes indécens que l’on faisoit en joüant de cet instrument.
Diderot
