Imagine yourself in a far away, exotic land; potent and exciting, mysterious and haunting; your sense of awe and mystery enhanced by the beat of tribal drums. We invite you to bring your Persian rugs, pillows, dancing shoes, musical instruments, and a warm smile, and join us for a day and evening in the Middle East.
Through the veiled mystery of time emerges the exotic world of belly dance. Come, dance with us, sing, tell stories, rest, recline, eat, talk with old friends, make new ones, and just enjoy yourself.
