I wanted to let everyone know early that I will be performing at the San Francisco International Arts Festival this year as a small part of a much larger show put on by Amina Goodyear. Amina is one of my teachers and she does so much to educate and entertain all of us with her knowledge of Middle Eastern dance and music. I am very honored to be part of her show. Tickets are available for purchase here: http://www.sfiaf.org/aswan_dancers
And here is the official flyer for the event as well as Amina's description of the show:
Amina Goodyear and the Aswan Dancers perform The Magic Carpet at the San Francisco International Arts Festival 2017
“The Magic Carpet is a Middle Eastern Dance and Musical Adventure. The musical carpet will transport you to various countries across the deserts of North Africa, through Egypt, the Middle East and onto the Saudi Arabian Peninsula. We want you to sit back and enjoy the ride and let the drums, the music and the dance take you to the Arabian Nights of our dreams when magic and fantasy was foremost and stimulated all the senses. Performed by The Caravan Band, The Aswan Dancers and Joweh Dance Troupe.”
I hope it works out for some of you to come and enjoy this show, which is sure to be an amazing feast of cultural celebration - colorful costumes, beautiful music, the gorgeous Aswan Dancers and guests and much more.
I'll be back on Wednesday with our traditional video clip. Until then, happy dancing.
