The Qabila Foundation is honored and thrilled to announce our newest Folkdance Company chapter in SEATTLE! Online auditions begin Friday, August 14th and are due by Friday, August 28th, 2020.
All dancers, genders, ages, and bodies welcome! Some dance experience recommended. Regional folkdance training is given to all members so prior experience with these dances is not required. We do require a love for Arabic music & dance and community spirit to be apart of this supportive and hard working team. Additionally members are required to attend weekly online rehearsals Sundays 1-3pm (plus an hour a week scheduled separately) and pay monthly dues of $20 to help cover company costs. Costumes, props, and training are provided.
To audition, email qabilafoundation@gmail.com your dance resume, photo, and questions to the following:
*Why you are interested in joining the Seattle Qabila Folkdance Co?
*What folk dances are you inspired to learn more about?
*What additional skills could you offer in assistance?
PLUS video links of you dancing the following two combinations. Please make sure your whole body is visiable. Any cane, stick, or assaya can be substituded for the Saidi combo.
