With a career spanning over 40 yrs, Tarik Sultan is one of the best-known pioneers of male Oriental Dance in the world and has been a vocal advocate for the validity of male Oriental Dancers.
His dance teaching career began in 1989 when he developed a method for teaching the basic movement vocabulary and in 1990 he began teaching regular classes. Over the years his talent and dedication to the art has earned him a reputation as a dynamic performer and an inspiring teacher and choreographer. He has taught and performed across the USA as well as in the UK, Japan, Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Jerusalem, Australia, Trinidad, Puerto Rico and Argentina. In 2003 he became one of the first male dancers to perform at the Ahlan Wa Sahlan Festival in Cairo, Egypt. He has performed at the United Nations, Lincoln Center, and the Museum of Natural History, and was a featured performer in some of the top nightclubs in New York City. Tarik continues to teach and perform regularly in the NY/NJ area. We are pleased to welcome back Tarik as this year’s master teacher. For more info see www.tariksultan.net
