Hi there! I'm Ranya Renée. Welcome to the Ginger City. These programs are for people who want to go deeper, to really "juice the orange"!!!
I believe creative movement is key to health and well-being, and I also like to go beyond the workout.
How can our bodies be a canvas for our lives?
How can we understand ourselves more deeply, support ourselves more deeply, and make sense of this human "journey of the body"?
In the Ginger City, I have tried to apply the benefits of technology to go deeper into material and make it available to movers all over the world. Like the spicy yet balancing ginger herb, I hope to provide you with science and spice for your physically present life. Go forth, and enjoy!

Breathwork for Performance
Ranya's signature program in stage presence training for dancers. The comprehensive BFP method was created by Ranya in 1996 to apply breathing in a focused way to physical and performance technique, and has provided the "secret sauce" for hundreds of dancers and other performers to develop stage presence, charisma, and confidence.
Nerd Clinic: Perceptual & Cognitive Factors in Performance
Indulge your inner dance nerd with this scholarly and practical two-part workshop for dancers, centered on performer confidence and the evaluative processes of their audiences. The way people’s brains work affects their impressions of a performance -- something worth considering in creating choreographed and improvisational work. We’ll address concepts of “top-down” vs. “bottom-up” influences on sensory perception; “feedback loops” in the cognitive process; and how preconceptions and preconscious processes can trigger unconscious evaluations in performers and audiences. Gain a better understanding how you may be seen by your audiences, and a “cognitive checklist” to apply to your creative work, to enhance your chances of making a great impression.
Raise Your Stage Presence
Theory and practice on expanding your stage presence in the world and in performance! Lecture & discussion format with worksheet so you can begin applying inner and outer confidence and presentation skills right away.
Map Your Music!
For dancers, music mapping is an important part of connecting with the soundtrack of your performance. This program covers multiple approaches to music mapping, from working with the rhythms and melodies to developing imagery, storyline, and narrative arc, to make your piece more powerful and compelling. Includes a bonus guest interview with Egyptian composer and musician Dr. George Dimitri Sawa.
Performance Psychology Bundle
This special package gives you lifetime access to three key programs on performance skills that will help you to increase your onstage charisma and presence, with a healthy dose of geekery as background for your learning and development! Ranya's Nerd Clinic: Perceptual & Cognitive Factors in Performance gets at the underlying cognitive psychology and neuroscience of perception and attention that affect the way our audiences receive our performances, and what we as performers can do to succeed in light of that. Raise Your Stage Presence carries this further to the social realm, and what "mindset" approaches can help us in self-strengthening and audience outreach. Work the Stage puts it into practice with physical techniques and strategies we can use to build onstage relationships and actively "own the stage" in our performances. Payment plan available.
Breathwork for Bellydance
Are you breathing optimally for your bellydance technique?
Suffering from “resting bitch face”?
Could your stage presence use a lift?
Do you want to connect better with your music? With an audience?
By applying simple breathing to your movements and steps in your practice and in performance, you can gain more confidence, power, and flow in your dancing, and connect better in the moment with your music, space, and audience, in improvisation or choreography.
Work the Stage!
Learn powerful techniques for working with your space and your audience, no matter what kind of stage you are performing on. Putting your attention towards your use of the space, awareness of body line, and how to manage the invisible lines of energy between you and your audience... you'll learn practical tools for creating floor patterns and choreography, as well as how to set your piece with a connection to the audience (and to the band if you are working with live musicians). I will break down how you can change the way you set your piece appropriately for theater stage (raised or not raised), or restaurant/club, or even less formal settings.
Performance Skills for Dancers Bundle
This special package gives you lifetime access to all five key programs on performance skills that go from the inner psychology of performance to applying it for your dance: Included are the course from the Performance Psychology Bundle Nerd Clinic: Perceptual & Cognitive Factors in Performance, Raise Your Stage Presence, Work the Stage as well as the comprehensive Breathwork for Performance program to apply breathing to your performance practice for greater self-confidence and audience connection, and Map Your Music, for creative approaches to using your music onstage, with practical tips for music analysis, mapping, and applying imagery as well as narrative arc as expressed in the music. Payment plan available.
Baladi from the Ground Up
Great Egyptian home-style baladi starts from feet on the ground, and this 2-hour program will help you build your own baladi, going deeper into the physical exploration of your own body. It's a strong technique foundation that applies not just to baladi but to Egyptian oriental dance (raqs sharqi) as well.
Baladi Building Blocks
This program presents baladi with fresh new trainings that you have not seen before - guaranteed! (Unless you were in BCS4 2021-2022, that is, when this program premiered). It may substantially change your approach to baladi, even if you have been dancing it for a long time, and even if you have Ranya's Baladi DVD and other programs.
Egyptian Music Essentials: Nebtedi (minein el hikaya)
This program for oriental dancers showcases the Mohamed Abdel Wahab composition “Nebtedi (Minein El Hikaya)." We explore the cultural and musical background of the piece, and how the legendary dancer Soheir Zaki interpreted this piece through her musicality and sophisticated, challenging technique across different performances.
Egyptian Music Essentials:
Leilat Hob
Explore classic oriental dance steps to the Mohamed Abdel Wahab/Oum Koulsoum classic, Leilat Hob ("Night of Love"). In this program we explore versions of the lilting and dramatic instrumental introduction of the song (the muqaddimah), in versions danced by the famous Soheir Zaki and Dina. In this program, we work with my "Organically Grown Egyptian Oriental" approach, exploring continuity of the melody and rhythms in the dancing. From here, we explore how you can bring your own creativity to interpreting this music.
Egyptian Music Essentials: Bint al-Sultan
A classic from the original king of shaabi, Ahmed Adaweia! For those who love Egyptian oriental dance and baladi... Take a deep dive into old-school shaabi with this program, dancing to this popular song.
Shimmy and Drum Bundle
This special package gives you lifetime access to the popular programs Shimmy Clinic (which offers techniques and drilling for modern Egyptian shimmy as well as classic old-school shimmy), and Dynamic Drum Solo (Ranya's "riff-framing" technique for making even an improvised drum solo look strong)
Baladi Salon Series
Baladi Music Analysis
Available soon for on-demand access
Baladi Talks Series with Ranya & Tarik Sultan
We are adding this to our upcoming schedule.
Egyptian Music Essentials Bundle
This special package gives you lifetime access to the five main programs of Egyptian Music Essentials. Each EME program takes a deep dive into a famous Egyptian music piece, examining lyrics and music analysis, as well as studying the dance approaches of legendary Egyptian dancers to each of these classic pieces. With technique breakdowns and dance drills.
Egyptian Music Essentials:
Raqset el-Jamal
Raqset el-Jamal, "Dance of Beauty," was composed by the great Farid al-Atrache, danced by Samia Gamal, is a lovely little piece. Good for a short gentle opening piece for a classic vintage dance set, it also includes a taqasim in the middle where you can shimmy to your heart's content!
Elegant Veil Through Stretching
You'll learn Ranya's effective "T-stretch" concept for veil, working with stretch in the body and the natural aerodynamics of your veil to gain greater control and a more beautiful, clear line. Tips that work for veils of different weights and fabrics, from silk to polyester chiffon or net fabric. It's a great stretch workout for your muscles and so compelling in performance!
Breathwork & Baladi
A short, accessible program of 42 minutes to get you breathing well for Egyptian dance, both baladi and oriental style (raqs sharqi)! Ranya goes over applied breathwork for the different types of music and energy of the Egyptian taqasim baladi - sometimes known as a "baladi progression," to stay confident and relaxed through the different rhythms.... a practical way to make sure you are breathing to enhance Egyptian dance movement and the energy of each rhythmic section.
Egyptian Music Essentials:
Raqset Kahramana
Raqset Kahramana is a classic piece composed by Farid al-Atrache, and danced by Samia Gamal in the film Afrita Hanem ("Genie Lady"), which stars both of them. A must-watch and must-dance for any Golden Era dance enthusiast. This program covers Samia’s lyrical technique and musicality, so that you can apply her signature movements to your own personal dance style.
Shimmy Clinic
This Shimmy Clinic program includes highlight exercises I've taught around the world. Focusing on shimmies using legs and hips (including the "old-school" lower-back shimmy as well as the more modern leg/knee generated shimmies), I go over shimmy mechanics with warmup, stretching, technique... and also how to practice in a "weird" way that pays off in being able to work your shimmy in different positions for standing and traveling.
Belly Dance Skills Bundle
This special package gives you lifetime access to three programs that will rejuvenate your approach to these key bellydance skills areas: Shimmy Clinic (which offers techniques and drilling for modern Egyptian shimmy as well as classic old-school shimmy), Dynamic Drum Solo (Ranya's "riff-framing" technique for making even an improvised drum solo look strong), and Elegant Veil Through Stretching (a creative approach to using muscular stretch to enhance your veilwork).
Dynamic Drum Solo
In this course you'll learn some specific techniques to help you improvise a drum solo. I prefer to improvise drum solos because it gives the performance a fresh feeling. However, these techniques can be applied to a choreography as well. We'll work with two drum solos by Amir Sofi: "Apex (Solo Darbuka)" and "Talk to Me (Solo Percussion)" from the album Raksa with Amir: Music for Bellydance.

"Ranya’s material is informative and inspirational"
I have learnt a great deal from Ranya's analysis and movement breakdown. Her studies in yoga, Pilates and neuropsychology enhance her gift for teaching in an approachable way. Ranya’s depth of knowledge of Egyptian dance and baladi, in particular, is unparalleled. She brings to teaching her experience performing internationally, her research and work with key Egyptian artists such as Mona Said, Nelly Fouad and Nany and musicians such as Nabawy, who played in Samia Gamal’s band and for Fifi Abdu.
I also enjoy Ranya’s Facebook live chats, interviews and Q&A sessions. I highly recommend working with Ranya. She has a lot to offer as a teacher and mentor; not only is Ranya incredibly knowledgeable, she is warm, open and great fun.

"The GC programs are 100% worth the investment"
I feel grateful for Ranya's Bring Your Best coaching series, and I am very happy that I have registered for this course, a very different learning experience.
As soon as you get in the course, you'll find a treasure box that you never discovered before. Ranya applies her unique training to different levels of dancers, so no matter which level you're at, she will give you specific comments that just made for you. So there's no competitiveness or worries, just to focus on personal progress.
Ranya's breathing technique and the imagery training (painting the room, creating characters, etc.) are also amazing. I've tried to implement these ideas in my different dance pieces and I do find they work very well. This course also helped my teaching, that now I can teach others those techniques and have students go deeper into the meaning of the dance.
The other Ginger City programs are also awesome to participate in, I've taken Baladi Salon Series before, and Ranya offered so many materials in a single program.
Mimi
Dancer, teacher

"Ranya is a master instructor"
Ranya's wealth of knowledge is uncommon and she delivers her unique message in a variety of ways which make understanding the method abundantly clear.
Ranya’s teaching involves dance movement, body mechanics, and musicality, but extends further to context, history, culture, theatre and comedy. She is extremely funny! The online meeting environment is safe and supportive and one can make friends for a lifetime.
The Baladi Coaching, Bring Your Best and Breathwork for Performance series were invaluable experiences for me. The challenges were many, as were the rewards. These courses are for any dancer who is ready to excel towards more intelligent, confident, and exquisite performances.
Forever, thank-you, Ranya!
