SAIDI TAHTEEB & ASSAYA Dancing with sticks and canes is a quintessential expression in Egyptian village dance. The Saidi people are famous for this semi-acrobatic stick dance called "Tahteeb" for men and "Raqs Assaya" for women. It is essentially a form of martial art where the manipulation of the stick and the demeanor of movement replicated village life or battle scene. Grace is more valued than aggression. This dance is done solo or in groups where the sticks are operated in unified motion. Karim teaches with a straight stick. Any dowel 3-4" thick. (734) 480-2787 (FAX); (734)

Art Exhibition

Library Street Collective is pleased to present Warp and Weft: Technologies within Textiles, a group exhibition curated by Allison Glenn, Artistic Director of the Shepherd.
