Susan Austin photos of Jawaahir dance performance Sparkle

Susan Austin of Austin Images Photography took these photos of me and my fellow Jawaahir dance members recently (that's me in the first pic!) You can see many more on the Jawaahir Flickr page. And there is a short, fun documentary that was done about the making of this show, Sparkle.

Susan is a wonderful photographer—obviously!—in the Twin Cities area that we met through Twitter, where she is @SusanAustin.

Jawaahir Dance Company: Library Performance.

Elena and Shari do an Egyptian Ghawazee piece, Risha a Tunisian pot dance, Zuleika an Egyptian Shamadan (Candelabra) dance, and Cassandra performs Raqs Al-Assaya (cane dance.)

Great Jawaahir dance videos including Tunisian and Ghawazee

I'm delighted to share these latest videos with you! I'm even in one of them!

You will love this wonderful video of Cassandra. It's just too short, though!



Here's Jawaahir Dance Company doing a Tunisian pot dance, choreographed by Cassandra --(I'm in this in a dark blue melaya mostly to right of center.)
