As-salaam alaykum! Happy November! This is our month of new productions and gathering community. Saturday November 7th we are offering a special online workshop with the one and only Soumaya MaRose on Moroccan Chaabi! It is a rare treat to have access to culturally embedded teaching online. Don’t miss this!
Then that evening we are partnering up with Dj Abu Sinna in Los Angeles for NASHWA: a queer and trans SWANA led evening celebrating pleasure as a form of activism.
November 14th-15th we are hosting our very first SWANA dance festival in Seattle including free community dance classes for all ages, a beautiful evening concert, and two unique dance workshops. It’s a month of dance advocacy, learning, and fun!
