ANWAAR DANCE COMPANY
Rays of Light Dance Company
Anwaar was
founded in 2003 by Nijma. Her dedication to the dance community and persistence
in promoting quality professional events lead her to developing Anwaar Dance
Company. Anwaar is and has always been one of the most sought after dance
company's in Houston.
Anwaar, Rays of Light in Arabic, brings the many
facets of Middle Eastern dance to the stage. From the lively rhythms of rural
Egypt to the glittering courts of the Ottoman Empire, Anwaar's repertoire
captures the essential spirit of Middle Eastern dance.
Playful, dramatic, and always joyous, Anwaar's
members perform a diverse repertoire of folkloric and contemporary dances that
will expand your perceptions of Middle Eastern dance. You'll hear the
traditional rhythms, see the distinctive costumes, and experience the expressive
dance traditions of Egypt. The contemporary pieces are deeply rooted in the
traditional dance vocabulary but presented with modern theatrical sensibilities.
