Our Tanoura Dancers in Beijing for the 2018 Chinese New Year

Tanoura Dancers in Beijing for the 2018 Chinese New Year

In January 2018 we were contacted by the team putting together the state televised celebrations for the Chinese New Year as they were putting together a show that would be full of different performers from around the world.

After lots of emails we finally were able to go ahead and both of our Tanoura dancers travelled to China to be part of the ceremony.

They had an amazing time and were really well looked after!

Tanoura Dancing is an Egyptian folk dance which is usually performed in Egyptian Sufi festivals. The Tanoura dance is usually performed by Sufi men wearing long weighted colourful skirts.
