Habibi Dancers
Are you curious about the how and why of Middle Eastern Dance? You’re invited to join local dance troupe—the Habibi Dancers—for a performance of Egyptian Sai’di/Ghawazee and Saudi Arabian Khaleegy style dance. We’ll take a look at some of the interesting subtle differences of these regions of a dance that has been performed for thousands of years. The performance will also include a brief history of the regional dances performed, as well as examples of historical (reproduction) costuming and traditional music.
