Selam! Merhaba! Welcome to the first ever Adelaide Middle Eastern Dance Festival which will take place on the 13th and 14th of July 2024! Our aim with staging this event is to share authentic Middle Eastern dance and music with the local Adelaide community and broader Australia.
WORKSHOPS
Two full and very educational days of workshops will be on offer by Adelaide dancers covering different genres of Middle Eastern dance including oriental, Persian classical, Turkish Roman, Egyptian Saidi and more! Workshops will have a focus on technique, choreography, history, culture and numerous other facets of Middle Eastern dance.
Our guest teacher will be the graceful and elegant Eva Cass from Perth who is considered to be one of the pioneers of oriental dance in Australia!
