Luna of Cairo

Jawaahir Dance Company ignites the stage with a brilliant and colorful assortment of dances, all inspired by the music that is the touchstone of Near Eastern Dance, for which it is renowned. Experience an extravaganza of Arab dance, music, and talent that only Jawaahir can deliver. Jawaahir’s 18 dancers perform stunning contemporary interpretations, in the third Sparkle concert, choreographed by the Jawaahir dancers for the dancers, with an exciting new choreography by Cassandra Shore, Artistic Director. Live music provided by the masterful musicians of Amwaaj, including Tim O’Keefe and Laura Harada. All of this – all new choreography, AND a breathtaking solo performance by our stellar guest artist, Luna of Cairo, who performed in the top nightspots in Egypt for many years, now residing in Florida.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund; Lisherness Foundation; O'Shaughnessy Foundation; Target; and friends of Jawaahir.

Our show is held at Elision Playhouse in Crystal.  Parking for Elision Playhouse is shown in green on the pictured map.
