Welcome to Tamra-henna’s Dance & Culture pages!

The following pages contain educational articles written by Tamra-henna. Included will be articles on the history of Middle Eastern dance, information on the various styles of Middle Eastern dance, a Dance Tips section that focuses on specific techniques, as well as personal anecdotes from Tamra-henna’s experiences in the Middle East and beyond.

In the navigation bar on the right, you can find articles by topic or by month. Recently published articles will also be listed separately.

I believe it is the responsibility of those of us who receive so much joy from the Middle Eastern arts (not to mention our livelihoods), to give something back to the communities we work with. We are in a unique position to educate and foster greater understanding between East and West. These pages are my humble contribution.
