Monica: Middle Eastern and North African Dance

Set List

Generally a set to recorded music runs around 20 minutes.
Monica uses music appropriate to the event. In general a show includes a fast and exciting entrance with finger cymbals, a classic slow piece, a folkloric piece, and a fiery drum solo. Audience dancing at the end of the show is a fun part of the package if you choose.

Specialties can be arranged. For example, Monica can perform Egyptian cane (raqs Asaya), single or double veil, Moroccan style tray balancing, or tailor her music to a particular style or ethnic focus (Lebanese, Egyptian, Turkish, or Greek).

Monica is available for a zeffa (wedding procession) with or without shamadan (balanced candelabra).

Monica is available to teach dance classes or workshops as part of a performance package, or as a distinct event.

Monica is available for lectures, academic presentations, and demonstrations about Middle Eastern, North African and Belly Dance.

Finally, Monica is available for travel all over the world.
