K - 12 School Programs

Raqqin' the Kasbah at School

Raqqin' the Kasbah school performances are high energy costumed performances staged to educate through interactive entertainment K-5th, 6-8th, and 9-12th graders in the geography, history, language, music, dance and culture of the Middle East.  Backed with a multi-media show, the program features one hour of live music on traditional Middle Eastern instruments, classical and folk-inspired belly dance, and interactive lessons in rhythm, melody, dance, language, and geography.  Audiences learn to clap the principal rhythm of the Middle East, enunciate Arabic and Turkish words, hear the differences between eastern and western melodies, dance a traditional line dance called the debke, and identify age-old instruments.
