ARABIQA with Karim Nagi
Arab Music Dance Culture for schools & families

Yes, all over the world you will find Muslims who dance. Here is a short montage of my participatory presentation ‘Music & Movement where Muslims Live’. This segment included steps by Egyptians, Kurdish, Uyghurs & Palestinians. NO NOT ALL of those people are Muslims, and not all Muslims dance, that is never my point. My goal is to share what many Muslim communities around the world do. Here is my point: Muslims are human, and Dance is among the most human of expressions.
