Performer, teacher, and choreographerNancy Redig’s journey with folk dancing beganin a rather unexpected place: Busch Gardens.Seated in a grand theater, she watched a showunfold, brimming with authentic Armenian,Turkish, and Grecian performers on one of theamusement park’s stages.

Fascinated with the dancers’ athleticism aswell as the music, she sought out a teacher inMiddle Eastern dance forms. Soon after, Redig

began performing with the Drava InternationalFolk Dance group, dancing all over the south-east United States.

“It didn’t take me very long to realize thatgrowing up in the schools I had, there was noexposure to the Arab culture, dance or music,”says Redig. “So I started an exploration.”

With her roots in rural Illinois, Redig recallsher first exposure to any kind of dance being ontelevision and what she read in books. Attend-ing Western Illinois University she joined a

Performer, teacher, and choreographer Nancy Redig is inspired byPolynesian Culture. KELLY BRODERICK

N ow that the Tallahassee Storytellers Project has been launched, it’s time to hear from those who want to

share their stories of how the capital city became home.

Democrat storyteller coaches Randi Atwood, James Call, Nada Hassanein, Mark Hinson and Andrew

Skerritt will coordinate the coaching of prospective storytellers who will take the stage March 6 at the Junction at

Monroe telling true stories about how Tallahassee became home.

The theme can be loosely interpreted. It doesn’t ex-clude natives who have lived here all their lives. It doesinvolve capturing the essence of why you stayed in thecity of seven hills, even though you’re tempted to leave

for someplace bigger, faster and moreaccessible.

With Tallahassee being a collegetown, Florida State University andFlorida A&M are at the core of manyof those stories, but there is muchmore about staying and being rootedto a place and calling it home. For

those who enjoy listening to stories, tickets, $10, areavailable at https://tickets.tallahassee.com/e/how-tal-lahassee-became-home.

The second event, themed teachers and life lessons, isscheduled for May 15. Again themes are designed to beinterpreted literally or metaphorically. Most of us can re-member one or two teachers whose words of chastise-ment, warning or encouragement transformed our aca-

modern dance group, but it wasn’t until much laterthat she discovered the folkloric and cultural dancesthat are at the foundation of her business, In Step Stu-dio, Inc.

Her two groups — Troupe Arabesque and the Mau-’oli’oli Dancers — will perform these traditional andancient styles on Saturday, Feb. 10, at the TallahasseeMuseum’s Matinee of the Arts.

It’s of the utmost importance to Redig to have a vastknowledge of the history as well as the full scope of theArab and Polynesian cultures that are the foundationsof these dance forms. She has voyaged to Turkey andEgypt, witnessing icons of raqs sharqi —the classicalstyle of belly dance — like “Dina” firsthand.

She’ll also visit the Hawaiian Islands once more andattend the World Hula Conference this summer. Mas-ter Hawaiian dance teacher Carolyn Derrico hasserved as one of her mentors, guiding Redig in the lo-gistics of producing shows as well as cultivating a lovefor Polynesian culture, music and dance.

“Each one of these has been an adventure in learn-ing about the culture and how little most of us knowabout it,” reiterates Redig.

Redig gains inspiration from learning and watchingnative dancers’ self-possession in these forms. In Ha-waii, she’s seen folks stand up and dance with no pre-tense at weekend parties. Overseas, she observes thatwhen raqs sharqi dancers or members of the crowd donot believe they’ll be judged by western onlookers,they will allow the “exuberance and vitality that comeswith the music” to be expressed freely.

She appreciates each culture for vastly differentreasons. With the Arabic communities surroundingraqs sharqi, she is moved by their love of family andmusic. Walking through Egypt, Redig says you’d behard-pressed to not find a flutist or drummer buskingon the street. On the other side of the world, Polyne-sian culture’s laid-back sense of humor is conveyedthrough their music, often holding double and tripleentendres in the lyrics.

“You might say that’s a sweet song, but there’s usu-ally a second more frisky meaning,” laughs Redig. “Youcan tell in the crowd the people who are from Polynesiabecause they’ll know the meaning and be laughing andcarrying on. While the people who don’t will be nod-ding their heads like ‘this is so nice.’”

Redig began teaching these forms in 1993, and cre-ated In Step Studio, Inc in 1999. Her mission is to blendeducation with entertainment, and she is a sticklerabout her students executing the classical forms as trueto the culture as possible. She pores over and collectsbooks, and will watch videos of the master teachers inorder to set accurate choreography for her troupes withthe help of assistant and teacher Kelly Broderick.

Her work as an educator involves a great number ofhours, and begins with listening to her classes’ musicon the car stereo. For Hawaiian classes, she beginswith a warm up adapted from ballet and yoga and armexercises borrowed from master Keith Awai. Her raqssharqi classes also emphasize the basics and establisha common language. From there, both classes dive intochoreography and performance prep, and after thecool down and socializing, Redig will type up thoroughnotes for her dancers.

“If you’re going to do an ancient style you better do itright,” says Redig of the Polynesian forms. “With theraqs sharqi you can be a little more creative with chor-eography because there’s no one vocabulary. Turkish,

Armenian, Saudi, Egyptian, Algerian, Moroccan,they’re all very different and it’s just the people’sdance. But for Hawaii there are defined names for theirsteps and they have defined ways of doing them.”

Redig says most of the dances that Troupe Ara-besque and the Mau’oli’oli Dancers will perform at theMatinee of the Arts only last three to four minutes or sixat most. Brief as the dances might be, they are move-ment rich, and the performers make up a diverse rangeof ages and years of practice. Redig says anyone is wel-

come to join her troupes as long as they have dancedwith her at the studio and show interest in performing.

For this year’s performance, the Mau’oli’oli Dancerswill open with an ancient-style Kahiko number ac-companied by chanting and drum, before moving intomore modern English-Hawaiian blended pieces.

Troupe Arabesque will feature an Armenian candledance, some bright Turkish pop-sounding numbers,and an American fusion dance. Relaying the historicaland cultural importance of these dances gives Redigthe greatest sense of accomplishment, as she believes“the fun is in the doing” of these folk forms.

“There’s something about dance that will reachpeople that you might not reach otherwise,” remarksRedig. “Maybe I can come dressed in a traditional eightor nine yards of fabric from Hawaii and they’ll watch.It’s not only the fun in the doing and learning, and it’sconstant learning, but the mental challenge that goeswith the physical one.”
