Karavansaray Dance Company
 

Karavansaray at Rakkasah, March 2009 (L to R) Khajulah, Liliana, Valerie, Diane, Heather,  Asiyah, and Amanda

Amanda's dance company made its debut in July 2008, and has embarked upon a journey of exploration. Like the caravan stops on the Silk Road from which this troupe takes its name, Karavansaray brings together wide-ranging cultural influences from regions across the Near East: Turkey, Egypt, the Levant, Armenia, Greece, Persia, Central Asia, as well as America and the West. We honor the traditions of the regional dances we present, while respectfully blending and innovating as we take the dances onto the performance stage. The company performs both Folkloric and Oriental dance styles. Karavansaray has performed at Cypress Raks, Desert Dance Festival, Rakkasah, MECDA's 2009 Gala, among other venues, all to great response. Upcoming performances are listed on Amanda's Performance Page. Dancers who wish to learn and perform these dances are welcome to join us in Amanda's Choreography class on Friday nights. (Dance experience is recommended.) For more information about this emerging dance company, including performance inquiries, please contact Amanda.
