folk dance is inclusive! Because of its relaxed nature, gender differences are deemphasized and the dance is forgiving of physical size and abilities. Group or solo, women and men, old and young, expert and amateur, foreign and native - all can enjoy these dances together! Karim teaches the steps, gestures, and combinations with detailed explanation and educated structure. Each step has an Arabic name and a cultural context, and all are clearly explained and demonstrated. Accompanied by Aubre and Lauren, Karim presents all the lessons, plus 6 choreographies that can be performed by any size group.

  • DABKE - the stomping line dance from the Eastern Arab world
  • KHALIJI - the undulating and hair tossing dance from the Arabian Peninsula
  • SAIDI - the revolving stick dance from Southern Egypt
  • SUFI (Egyptian) - swaying and turning ritual that invokes bliss and trance
