Benvenuto!
A heartily welcome to the
17th Dahab Holiday Dance Festival in Calabria, Italy’s
wild and romantic boot tip. On the clear, colorful glittering
waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea with its imposing cliffs
and beautiful beaches and bays lies Tropea.
Calabria is characterized by coastal and mountain landscapes
with lush vegetation, beautiful bays and wonderful beaches,
picturesque villages and rural culture. Known for its
good food, we are also looking forward to many culinary
delights to enjoy with the Calabrian specialties. Good
appetite!
I am looking forward to two wonderful,
unmistakably Italian dancers, to Sara Pappalardo, dancer
and organizer in oriental and Indian dance, full of
elegance, esprit and grace, living near in the city
of Catania / Sicily. And to Silvia Brazolli, expressive
from the foot to the fingertips. As a creative-young,
excellent dancer from northern Italy she was already
involved in Jillina's Bellydance Evolution dance group.
With Ebru Bekker from Moscow and Luxor from St. Petersburg,
we will meet two internationally known and extremely
lovable artists, and we can experience how extremely
creative, spirited and personable the Russian dance
scene is.
I am particularly happy to welcome Raksan from Berlin
and TAI (Dance-Expression-Improvisation) at the festival.
Get ready for inspiring, challenging, joyful and also
some crazy experiences.
