In Progress

     Souk Elgamal - choreographed by Adira
               Adira calls this piece The Golden Lotus, because she was inspired by the                Lotus blossom.  Dancers imitate the opening of the flower in the morning                and closing in the evening.  The choreography features Persian and                Indian-influenced movements and highlights the texture of rhythms in the                music. 

Solo pieces

     Arruga la Camisa - Ngaio
        

     Dance of Samara - Anala Rabari
               A lively song featuring the dumbek in cabaret Egyptian style drumming.

     Ela Mia Nichta - Anala Rabari
             These Greek lyrics roughly translate as the story of a young girl asking              her love to come by one night and go on a journey "kiss to kiss, hand to              hand until the ends of the earth and even further".  Anala brings this tale              to life with some very flirtatious skirtwork.

      Min Zaman - veil piece by Ngaio
 

      Rakiya's Tabla - Adira
              Adira fuses high-energy Middle Eastern styles into a short and sassy solo.

       Raks Zeina - Ngaio
 

      Sikidim - Adira
           Adira highlights the influence that Indian and Spanish dance has made in            the evolution of belly dance.  She combines ancient movements with the            latest rage in Turkish pop music, Tarkan, for an energetic interpretation of            the Turkish word "sikidim," which means "shake."

     Silent Night - veil piece by Anala Rabari
           This song offers a unique arrangement of the famous carol played on            traditional Middle Eastern instruments and embellished with traditional            Middle Eastern rhythms.  

     Take Me to Love - veil piece by Anala Rabari
             Anala's graceful movements depict the young woman's yearning to find              someone to take her to love, another world where she longs to be, in this              song from the soundtrack of the movie Bride and Prejudice.
