Thanks to everyone who came out to the Dances Under the Crescent Moon show. It was a challenging year for me with the tendonitis in my feet, then the car wreck, and then the sprained LCL. But I made it! The project starts again in September/October. If you are interested in joining contact mail@helene-eriksen.de or visit www.helene-eriksen.de

Description: Helene Eriksen’s Traditional Dance Theatre is a year-long intensive dance training project. This year, nine dancers have worked diligently in learning the dances and creating the costumes for choreographies from a diverse cross-section of traditions: Berber dances of Tunisia, the urban dance Baladi from Egypt, Dabke from Lebanon, Dances of the Turkish Roma, a dreamy canopy dance from Azerbaijan, the rice harvest dance of the northern Iranian province of Gilan and the dance of the Kabeliya tribe of snake charmers from Rajasthan. I will be dancing in Baladi, Dabke, Turkish Roman, and Azeri. Helene will also be performing various solo dances.
