Jaivah Nouvel Expos&eacute; will be presenting a short show and workshop of Ethiopian Eskesta dance at this festival.  Also featuring Waleed Abdulhamid.<\/p>\n<p>Being one of the oldest civilizations of Africa, Ethiopia is a land of many cultures which give its music and dances a rich texture. Whether depicting every day life, telling the people&#8217;s story, or celebrating major events, the dances of Ethiopia are sheer expressions of joy in intense isolations and rhythms. In this performance, you will learn the basics of the eskesta dance. Eskesta is a popular dance in Ethiopia, originating from the Amhara people. It is a dance of isolations and shimmies, mostly in the upper body \u2013 shoulders, chest, neck with subtle footwork somewhat imitating the grace of birds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DATE<\/strong>: Saturday, February 5, 2011<br \/>\n<strong>TIME<\/strong>: 1:30PM<br \/>\n<strong>VENUE<\/strong>: Lakeside Terrace, Harbourfront Centre, Toronto<br \/>\n<strong>FREE FREE FREE!!!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>INFO<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.harbourfrontcentre.com\/kuumba\/events.cfm?id=2729\" target=\"new\">Harbourfront Centre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IME<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-classes","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=272"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":333,"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272\/revisions\/333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jaivah.com\/site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
