and Mediterranean Dance
17th to the 19th April 2009
Sirocco celebrates the meeting of East and
West via the inspiration of dance and music, We explore the creative
boundaries of tradition and offer a platform for cultural fusion.
Feed the senses with a weekend of workshops, seminars, performances
and parties.
Treat your body to a massage and henna
painting, uncover your hidden gifts and ignite the magic spark of
inspiration.
Our international artists for 2009 include:

For more
information about them, see the
Artists

I
thoroughly recommend this festival to anyone who is
interested in looking beyond the boundaries of
traditional dance styles and trying something new.
My only regret was that there were not enough hours
in the day to do everything I would have liked to
do. Friendly, relaxed and stimulating, Sirocco
offers the perfect opportunity to explore our
creative energy and the spirit of dance within.
