Translated as 'The Dancers', this company features dancers and drummers who exemplify the highest standard of skills. Their featured choreographies showcasing Middle Eastern rhythms on djoun/tabla/djembe drums are enriched by tambourine, Moroccan cymbals, finger cymbals and shaker.
These select performances seek to educate American audiences about ancient cultures and kingdoms from which this Dance style originates.
