A Shared Love of Dance
SEE THE COLLECTION
Farasha and Su'ad
first met in 1992 at a dance event and developed an instant friendship and connection due to our shared love and passion for Middle Eastern dance. We discovered we had studied with some of the same teachers and we both were also community teachers and involved with dance troupes. Since that time, we have shared running dance events and have vended at many events in the Northeast. We currently have dance troupes - Su’ad is Director of Desert Moon Dancers (of CT, founded in 1991) and Farasha is the Director of the Mystic Moonlight Dancers. We continue to support this art through our teaching, events and vending!
