Dearborn Dancing
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Sunday the Habibi Dancers took about a dozen women to dance at the Arab festival in Dearborn, Michigan. It was wonderful to spend a day together. We danced, we watched friends dance, we ate Lebanese food. That’s as perfect a day as one can have, if you ask me.
Here the Habibi dancers are, doing a Saudi women’s party dance. I’m in the hot pink dress at front.
Here are four of our dancers in a crowd-pleasing number (they clapped and sang along with us here):
Here is the Middle Eastern Dance Ensemble of the greater-Detroit area doing a scarf dance:
We had 22 of us at dinner between the two groups, friends and family. The restaurant had a good attitude about it at the end of what must have been a very busy weekend. And the food! There is such good mideastern food in Dearborn! Ahhh…
This is my favorite place to dance all year. I had to miss it the last 2 years and was just delighted to join in again. It was wonderful.
