Kudos to the cast of “Eastern Expressions”, the fall concert presented by the Tarifa Salem Eastern Dance Ensemble, for outstanding group and solo performances. Authentic Belly Dance by Hind Dancers, Hindy Haymour-Slegg, Barbara Saldia, Katrina Elena Trninich and Lena Ruiz-Lopez performed with artistry, grace and elegance and brought beautiful technique and energy to our stage. Stephani Melani of Bellybolly Producitions, our other guest artist dazzled the audience with her intricate bollywood steps and playful stage presence. Ensemble dancers, Sari Mustonen, Susie Christianson, Arlene Spagna, Janice Stiller and Tarifa Salem once again maintained their high standards as far as content, performance and skill in bringing cultural dance to our dedicated audience members. The wide range of techniques mastered in representing the various regional dances of the middle east included in the Ensemble’s repertoire indicate the hours of rehearsal and commitment to dance study required by members of the group. Congratulations to all of you for an inspiring performance.

The Tarifa Salem Eastern Dance Ensemble presented “Glimpses of the East” Saturday, September 25th in downtown Lake Worth at the Downtown Dance Venue to a sold out audience. The performance was a great success in that it showcased several folkloric dances of the Middle East, including the Raks al Assaya (cane dance) and Danse Sudani as well as the more traditional Danse Oriental Solos performed by Nicole Blattler, Tarifa Salem and beautiful guest artist, Diana Spring. The “Desert Jewels”, a lively little group of 4 beautiful dancers dazzled the audience with an exciting drum solo. The mesmerizing Luz Acevedo performed the mysterious Pharonic Danse with beautiful line and intensity. The “Zaar”, a dance created to depict the ancient North African ritual that is performed to rid a person of ”dark spirits” was presented as the finale and was performed by the entire Tarifa Salem Eastern Dance Ensemble. The dancers hypnotized the audience with it’s trance inducing pulses, spins and dramatic chants to Allah. The audience’s exuberance throughout the production was a welcome reception for the newly formed group as it is hard to get the general public to respond with interest to a production that not only entertains them but educates them with lectures on the origins of certain dances as well as historical and cultural information.
