40 Days & 1001 Nights Back Roads Tour
with Tamalyn Dallal

Having started her study of Middle Eastern dance in 1976, Tamalyn Dallal has enjoyed a prolific career. She has taught and performed in 38 countries. In 1990, she founded the non profit arts organization "Mid Eastern Dance Exchange" in Miami Beach, through which she mentored thousands of dancers around the world. Through sixteen years of directing the organization, Ms. Dallal produced numerous stage productions and dance festivals, including the famed Orientalia Festival of Ethnic Dance in Miami Beach for fourteen years.
“40 Days and 1001 Nights” became a book, documentary film, music cd (by Africa's oldest orchestra, the 103 year old Ikhwani Safaa Musical Club of Zanzibar), and dance concert, all produced by Ms. Dallal. The final edition of the book came out in February, 2008, and it is now published in the US, India and Russia.

DESCRIPTION: | Tamalyn Dallal has traveled to many different countries in the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, where she witnessed and participated in the art of belly dancing in it's local context. She will share her experiences among women (and men) who dance as part of their every day lives in: Egypt, Jordan, Zanzibar, the Swahili Coast of Kenya, Morocco,Tunisia, Turkey, and western China. Belly dancing has spread around the globe, and takes a little from each culture it touches, from the US to Europe, South America, and Asia. Tamalyn would like to take you back to the predominately Muslim cultures that have been dancing for hundreds, if not thousands of years and let you look inside their world, understand why they dance, and why some of the same people who belly dance at home reject the idea of women belly dancing in public. |
