Guest Artist Ramzi El Edlibi – Free Open Rehearsal

February 17, 2019 @ 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Thanks to an MRAC Arts Learning grant, Cassandra and Jawaahir Dance Company invite you to join us for a FREE event to meet Ramzi El Edlibi who will be teaching the dance company a debke dance unique to Eastern Lebanon. He is working with the Company from February 15-17 with open rehearsal being held on the 17th. Ramzi, who was raised in Lebanon, has been doing debke all his life and said he has memorized “at least a hundred steps.” Debke is often performed at celebratory functions, including weddings. “It is a very attractive and magical art,” he says, “and I’ve become interested again in the traditional steps even after so many years of dancing.” Ramzi will be sharing his reignited enthusiasm for debke with the dance company, and this is clearly going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the dancers.

Ramzi does everything with exacting verve, fluidity of movement and showmanship. He also has a work ethic like no other, travelling the world to broaden and perfect his dance training and research to include classical ballet, flamenco, ballroom, and tango. This is your opportunity to watch him work with the Company and then pick his experienced, intelligent, and educated brain! No prior reservation needed; just show up!
