Welcome! The purpose of this site it to get information out about our events and to promote discussion about the virtues of dancing to live music. For those of you who are musicians, it is the same, except you get to use "the remote control". What you play influences how the dancer moves. If a dancer is "paying attention" and really listening to the music, following the rhythms, it truly becomes a wordless communication between the two and the moves a dancer makes is the visual interpretation of the sound of the music.

Our workshop is taught by Souhail Kaspar and largely teaches dancers how to move to specific rhythms. For the past 2 years, and next year, Angelika joins us, teaching techinque and leading the dancers through demonstrations, with Souhail on the proper movements and rhythms. Additionaly, John Bilizekjian will be available to teach OUD and Makam. This year was amazing and we hope to add and built to our event.

Thanks again for dropping by. Check back periodically for updates.
