THE FARHA FESTIVAL - DANCING TO LIVE MUSIC IN FABULOUS SURROUNDINGS Our last Farha Festival took place in Luxor in December 2013. At the moment we don't have any more planned, but please get in touch if you would be interested in future similar events.
Read about the Farha Festival below We rarely get the opportunity to dance with live music .... so the Farha Festival was created by Kay Taylor to give folks just that opportunity.. It has been an incredible experience doing the Festivals, which were held in Luxor. We don't have any more planned at the moment but who knows what may happen in the future.
Whatever level folks took something away from this. Dancers chose to work with live music - up to and including a rehearsal and performance in the show. Others took part in the workshops to find out how you go about working with a live band ...... but chose not to perform. Whatever your level this was an incredible opportunity.

The opportunity to work with professional male dancers in Luxor. Mohamed Kazafy created a piece of choreography specially for the Farha Festival. Those that wanted to have the amazing experience of performing with a folklore troupe instead of a solo could do so. Or some chose to do the classes but not have the pressure of performing. Below is a link of the Nubian performance in 2012. www.youtube.com/girls performing Nubian with Kazafy
